- Ensure VPN connection is established on your computer.
- These reports are automated and data is refreshed daily at 8:00 AM. Therefore, the data from these reports reflects what was in PeopleSoft SIS at the time of the data run rather than what is present at the time the user pulls the report.
- The key performance indicators (KPIs) include (1) the total students (i.e. studied), (2) the total students retained, and (3) the average fall to fall retention rate (see Figure 7). The total number of students and total students retained is NOT de-duplicated.
