Institutional Research launches My Students report
|
Tired of having to ask for data on your students? The Institutional Research and Effectiveness Office (IRE) is working on a self-service solution for that, called the My Students report on the IRE page in the Info Center.
The report is structured around the concept of relationships held with students, and when you meet one of the available relationships, you'll see a list of those students. Relationship types currently available are Advisor, Club Sponsor, Department Chair, and Instructor. Direct any questions to ir@wartburg.edu.
