Released: HR Employee Count Tool and Student Aid Profile

HR Headcount Tool
The next iteration of our web-based reports has been released. This time the Human Resource Employee Headcount PDF was the subject of the conversion. These reports offer more flexibility than the student data in terms of presentation. We have three pre-built reports, one of which is based on the PDF as well as a tool which allows users to drag and drop dimensions to view that data to their liking, based on the concept of an Excel pivot table.

View the web-based HR Employee Headcount reports.

Student Aid Profile
We have released a new report regarding student financial aid. Some of the data included: PELL grants, work study, and loans. This data can be found on the Student Data page, under Student Aid Profile, and is available for the past two years.

More details on both of these will be coming in the next few weeks.
