  2. Dbase III Antiqued system Not supported by NEIU No relationship to Student Advisement files Lack of data in existing program for reports No relationship to main school record system (CARS) Word documents Application to SWK Student Course Plan process Student Graduation Reports Administrative reports Previous Data Management Systems

  3. The Impact of the old system • Retrieval of information for CSWE for 2003 Annual report took three weeks • Dependency on Secretary for access to CARS to know who is registered for required courses • Time required for secretary to input advisement into Dbase III • Time required to complete Student Graduation reports (information not centrally located)

  4. Some of the ways the new database informs our advising process • Provides students with a complete course plan report including major/minor and general education requirements • Significantly shortens the time spent producing graduation reports • Enables communication among advisors and office staff on the details of a student’s experiences and educational needs

  5. Some of the ways the new database informs our program • Gives us the characteristics of our students, e.g.: ethnic composition, age and gender grouping • Allows breakdown by educational level • Provides patterning statistics such as number and characteristics of program graduates vs. newly accepted students • Provides all required statistics for producing annual accreditation reports
