1. AERO Workshop: Constructing and Using OUAC and OCAS Datasets Presentation to HEQCO - June 19, 2009 Dr. Robert S. Brown Organizational Development/ Research and Information Services Toronto District School Board

2. Part 1: OUAC Datasets

3. a)Open the OUAC e-mail you will receive from AERO b)Create folder ‘postsec08’ in your ‘C’ hard drive. c)Save the files in the OUAC e-mail to the folder ‘postsec08’. d)Open SPSS. Then open all the SPSS syntax files in the ‘postsec08’ folder.

4. e)Run the file ‘read ouac file.sps’ This will read the text file BEXT_66052_2008.txt Which has a selection of OUAC application and confirmation records Note: Your file for 2008 should be the same, except that ‘66052’ would be replaced with your Board ID number.

6. f)You should now have an SPSS dataset
