Postsecondary Data Partnership

Using the PDP to Understand Academic Equity (120 minutes)
Understanding equity is a multifaceted and crucial aspect of ensuring the success of our students. In the pursuit of equitable outcomes, institutions must navigate the complexities and intricacies of their students’ experiences and recognize the disparities that exist among them. By utilizing the comprehensive student progression and completion metrics provided in the National Student Clearinghouse Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) dashboards, this workshop guides participants in dissecting inequities across diverse student characteristics such as race/ethnicity, age, Pell status, first-generation status, and gender. Subsequently, we will explore strategies for leveraging this knowledge to drive meaningful institutional change and bridge disparities.

Using the PDP for Student Retention: Who Am I Losing and When Are They Leaving? (90 minutes)
Increasing student retention is one of the most common priorities in any institution’s strategic plan. Federal compliance reporting requirements focus only on first-time, full-time freshmen in retention calculations and exclude transfer and part-time students. Furthermore, reporting only shines a light on one-year retention and graduation, rather than the experience of the full population along the entire student life cycle. Finally, focusing on overall retention trends obscures the experience of underserved student subgroups.

The National Student Clearinghouse’s Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) dashboards can help data professionals better understand which students are leaving and when. In this interactive session, facilitators will demonstrate how institutions have used the PDP dashboards to answer these questions.
