This proposal is for a comprehensive review of all aspects of data definitions, sources, and calculations conducted with representatives from Financial Aid, Institutional Research, and IT. As Financial Aid data requests increase in frequency, in-depth reviews of our data definitions, coding, transformations, and aggregation processes can ensure accuracy for this critical area of reporting. In addition to ensuring accuracy for Financial Aid reporting, thorough reviews of reporting can build specifications and a roadmap for future Financial Aid data mart development.
To facilitate this review, the Data Certification process is being employed to verify and document the report.
