Integration variables describe what happens to the student after arriving on
campus.
Student-integration data that most campuses can obtain from existing sources
include:
- Residence status.
- Predicted GPA or high-school GPA.
- End-of-term grades.
- Affiliations.
- Credit hours attempted.
- Credit hours completed.
- Commuter/Resident status.
- Intended major.
- Residence-hall assignment.
- Enrollment in freshman-success course.
- Financial-aid information.
These data are the most plentiful, but sometimes the most challenging to
collect because they reside all over the campus. Nonetheless, there are enormous
opportunities for your campus to collect and analyze these data over the course
of the first term, first year and the remainder of the student's educational
experience.
