Enrollment Trend Reporting in M-Reports


Enrollment trend reporting uses campus wide class data and displays it in a drill-to-detail format that allows you to see the overall trend of a course. By selecting multiple subjects, you also have the option to compare enrollment data with other course offerings. The data is based on the number of students enrolled in a class for a term(s), their academic level, and academic career. The reports are designed to help with course demand planning.

Overview

Enrollment trending reports are useful for Deans, Curriculum Managers, and Curriculum Maintainers to view enrollment trends that will assist with course demand planning. The data used to calculate total enrollment is collected from the M-Pathways Student Records and the UM Data Warehouse Student Retention and Completion data sets. The availability and accuracy of the data is based on the refresh schedule of these data sets. The data is intended for use as a historical data analysis tool, not to determine current registration counts before the start of a term.

Identified Issues

  • Total Enrollment is determined by distinct counts of UM IDs. Each UM ID is only accounted for once per class.
  • Students will be counted in both the home and away sections of a combined section. This will account for overlap of enrollment counts for combined sections.
  • If a student is enrolled in more than one special topic class with the same subject and catalog number, the student will only be accounted for once and the enrollment data may be inaccurate.
