Faculty of Arts & Science Student Reporting
The Faculty of Arts and Science has several Tableau Dashboards developed in order to help administrators navigate student data.
- Enrolments (students enroled in classes)
- Plans (students enroled in plans)
- Classes Offered (courses & classes offered)
- Departmental Dashboard (by dept: enrolments, plans, classes, and faculty appts)
- Enrolment Tracking Dashboard (updated daily during registration)
Please send all request for access and/or questions directly to reportsartsci@queensu.ca
- Hands on training on how to navigate the dashboards are typically 1 - 2 hours, can be in groups or individually.
