University of Illinois System

Description

This universe offers a tool to easily create queries of academic history and transfer course work for UI students. The Academic Records universe is solely focused on the academic history and transfer course work of students. Queries can be created to list or count students based on degrees earned, courses and credit hours earned, grades or grade point averages, and credit earned at prior colleges. Additional data offered includes university or departmental honors, cohorts, student class (Freshman, Sophomore, etc.) and academic standing. The universe does not offer admissions or registration information.

The universe offers three classes (or groups) of objects (columns) that focus on the coursework that becomes a part of a student's academic history. Overall course work puts together test-based credit, transfer credit, and institutional credit in one convenient group of objects. While it puts all three types of academic course work together, the group also allows the user an easy way to list each type of credit individually. If you need more detailed information on institutional course work or transfer course work and the credit or grades earned, separate classes of objects offer access to each of these types of academic history. Transfer course work is entered into Darwin, which articulates it and loads this information into Banner. The EDW pulls transfer course information from Banner.

Derived elements are offered specific to UIC Undergraduate and Graduate colleges, which include deficit points (undergrad) degree GPA, degree academic standing, and degree deficit points (grad).
