Student Data
Student data includes information on student enrollment, retention, graduation, and post-graduation.
Enrollment data is taken each semester on the tenth day of the term. The tenth day of the term is the last day a student is able to drop a class without it appearing on their transcript.
Per Minnesota State Policy 3.31, WSU surveys our recent graduates to learn about their employment and educational outcomes one year after they received degrees.
Only de-identified information from this survey is shared. WSU faculty and staff can access further data with the Graduate Follow-Up Reports.
