Dual Credit Students Who Go On To College Excel Pivot Table Institutional Research Departments at Colleges can contribute to the SCWI initiative by contributing time and resources to tracking students. The data models exist and have been refined such that the time commitment is reasonable. Fleming shared this model with Durham College and it has been implemented. Fleming Data Research Department developed a powerful resource to collate data on DC conversions. With this excel tool we can communicate DC students who register at Fleming and in which program.

Dual Credit Students Who Go On To College Excel Pivot Table Additionally, we can also provide which dual credit they took, and from which secondary school / district school board. This is a powerful communication tool, as this data can be shared with senior leaders across the College, as well as at the Academic School, Department and Program level.
