3. Report & Track High School Data  Learn About the Data Center How do I... The Data Center is part of the TCSG Data Planning & Research department. It is responsible for the collection and reporting of data in support of the agency: Works with our local colleges and outside agencies to form data sharing collaborations Provides guidance on data related issues Facilitates information sharing and decision-making throughout TCSG Provides the data for state and federal reporting requirements, such as IPEDS, OSA, TCSG Performance Benchmarks, NRS, COE, PPB, and CAR/Perkins. Our staff includes a Director, 2 database programmers, 2 web developers, and 4 analysts. Data Center ~ September 3, 2008

4. Report & Track High School Data  Understand the Data Collection Process How do I... The Data Center collects data from the 33 technical colleges and 4 USG colleges with technical divisions. TCSG colleges: enrollment is automatically collected daily from your local Banner system over the state network USG colleges: enrollment is submitted quarterly through a file upload Types of data collected from each college include: Campus, Program (major), Student Demographics (race, gender, education level, date of birth, etc.), Classes, Credit Hours, Grades, Graduation and Placement (employment status). The Data Elements Manual shows for each data element we collect, where in Banner that information is entered: https://kms.dtae.org/portal/Publications/DataElementsManual.doc Data Center ~ September 3, 2008

5. Report & Track High School Data  Understand the Data Collection Process How do I... Each quarter begins a different data collection period for enrollment (graduate and placement data is collected throughout the year). For example, in FY 2009: Collection beginsCollection ends Summer QuarterJul 22, 2008Sep 30, 2008 Fall QuarterOct 16, 2008Jan 6, 2009 Winter QuarterJan 22, 2009Mar 31, 2009 Spring QuarterApr 21, 2009Jun 25, 2009 We update student information daily based on any changes made in Banner during each quarter’s data collection period. After the quarter ends, changes in Banner (outside of graduates and placement) will NOT be reflected in the TCSG central database. For example, if a High School student was incorrectly coded Dual instead of Joint for Summer Quarter in FY 2009, the correction must be made before 09/30/08 for the Dual and Joint totals to be correct on Data Center reports.

18. Report & Track High School Data  View High School Reports on KMS How do I... When viewing a report: The report # (such as DC104) is along the header. A description of the specific student population shown usually appears at the top of the report. In some reports, you can drilldown to details behind each record by double- clicking on that record (such as a student name to view that student’s courses). There is often a highlighted link on the first page that will display the detail for all records in one report. To print, use the printer icon along the light blue Business Objects toolbar. Using the printer icon in Internet Explorer, or the File/Print menu, will result in poor formatting or blank pages.
