Where You Are Today

Holding you back

IPEDS fall enrollment

IPEDS fall enrollment submission requires 3 weeks of manual data assembly: IT pulls extracts from student records and financial aid on different days, an IR analyst reconciles discrepancies in Excel, and a second analyst spot-checks the headcount numbers before the registrar signs off.

Pain Point

An accreditor requests

An accreditor requests five years of retention and graduation data segmented by Pell eligibility and first-generation status, with 48 hours to respond. Nine staff members work across a weekend pulling Banner exports, cross-referencing financial aid files, and manually joining records with mismatched student ID formats.

Pain Point

Faculty senate requests

Faculty senate requests graduation rates broken down by major, admission cohort, and transfer status. The IR office has a three-week queue of similar requests, and each one requires a new data pull, a new Excel file, and a new round of internal review before the numbers leave the office.

Pain Point

The board of

The board of trustees receives an enrollment report at the October meeting showing 8,240 headcount. The CFO's budget variance presentation, prepared two days earlier, references 8,190. Both numbers came from the same system, pulled at different times. The discrepancy requires a 20-minute explanation and erodes confidence in institutional data.

Compliance and Accreditation Reporting

Meet federal, state, and accreditor reporting requirements without rebuilding data pulls from scratch each cycle.

Generate IPEDS-formatted enrollment, completion, and financial aid reports from live institutional data
Produce accreditation evidence packets (SACSCOC, HLC, WASC, NEASC) with filtered, dated, and exportable data sets
Archive every report run with timestamp, user ID, and data snapshot for audit trail documentation

Custom Report Building Without IT Dependency

IR staff and compliance officers define their own report logic, layouts, and delivery schedules without submitting IT tickets.

Drag-and-drop report builder lets analysts select data fields, define grouping logic, and apply conditional formatting
Parameter-based filters (by term, program, department, campus, or cohort) without rewriting the underlying report
Save finished reports as reusable templates that other authorized users can run with different filter selections

Self-Service Access That Reduces IR and IT Bottlenecks

Role-based report permissions let department chairs, deans, and program directors pull their own data without queuing IR requests.

Configure which user roles can access which reports and which data fields within each report
Department-scoped views prevent users from seeing enrollment or financial data outside their authorized programs
Faculty and department chairs access enrollment counts, grade distributions, and retention figures independently

Report templates can be configured to match IPEDS collection formats, enrollment by level and attendance status, completions by CIP code and award level, financial aid headcounts, with the required field structure and column labeling. The export lands in Excel or CSV formatted to the IPEDS data file specifications, reducing the manual reformatting step that typically consumes 30–40 percent of submission prep time. Institutions using the full student information and financial aid modules have all required data fields available in the same system.

The report builder lets IR staff or power users define new reports from scratch using a visual field-selection interface. You choose the data model (students, courses, enrollment records, financial transactions) then add fields, set grouping logic, apply filters, and configure the output layout. New reports can be saved as institutional templates and made available to specific user roles. There is no requirement to submit a development request or modify the underlying system to create a new report type.

Access controls operate at the report level and at the data-field level within reports. A department chair accessing an enrollment report sees only records associated with their programs; a dean sees all programs within their college; the provost or IR director sees the full institutional data set. Permissions are assigned by user role and can be configured to restrict specific columns, for example, allowing a faculty member to view grade distributions without exposing individual student identifiers. Every report access is logged.

The system retains complete historical records across all modules (enrollment, grades, attendance, financial aid, course completions) without archiving data to a separate system or requiring a data warehouse. Longitudinal reports apply date-range or academic-year filters to retrieve records from any past period. Retention and graduation cohort reports can follow a student population through multiple academic years from a single query, without reconstructing the cohort from annual snapshots.

BI tools require a data pipeline from the source system, ongoing maintenance of that connection, and a separate license for every user who needs report access. Report definitions live outside the institutional data system, creating version-control risks and dependency on the analyst who built each dashboard. The reporting module draws directly from live institutional data without an intermediate connection, runs inside the same permissions framework as the rest of the platform, and puts report-building capability in the hands of IR staff rather than requiring a dedicated data engineer to maintain the pipeline.

Reports can be scheduled on daily, weekly, monthly, or custom calendar triggers, with delivery to specified email recipients or to a secure portal. Supported export formats include PDF, Excel (.xlsx with formula support), Word, CSV, and HTML. A single report can be configured to deliver different format versions to different recipient groups, for example, a PDF summary to board members and a CSV data file to the state agency, from a single scheduled run. Delivery logs record timestamp, recipient list, and export format for each scheduled execution.
