This tutorial introduces the Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) Credit Completion Ratio: Institution-Level dashboard. Participants will learn how credit completion is calculated, why it matters for early momentum, and how to use dashboard features—such as filters and dimensions—to identify trends and achievement gaps among first-year and transfer students. Practical demonstrations show how to explore data by enrollment type, gender, race/ethnicity, GPA, and more.

Learning Outcomes:

• Understand how the credit completion ratio is calculated for both individual students and institutions.
• Recognize why early credit completion is a predictor of credential attainment.
• Navigate the dashboard’s global filters and dimensions to focus on specific student populations.
• Interpret credit completion rates and average credits earned across cohorts and subgroups.
• Use dashboard insights to inform early intervention strategies and student success initiatives.
