This tutorial introduces participants to analyzing gender-based achievement gaps using the Credit Accumulation Rate dashboard in the Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) platform. Users will learn how to apply dimensions to disaggregate student success data by gender, adjust credit thresholds to assess academic momentum, and interpret patterns to identify where support interventions may be needed. The course demonstrates how differences in credit accumulation rates vary by credit thresholds and explores how narrowing or widening gaps can inform equity-focused strategies.

Learning Outcomes:

• Understand the purpose and functionality of the Credit Accumulation Rate dashboard.
• Apply the gender dimension to compare credit accumulation rates between male and female students.
• Explore the effects of different credit thresholds (12–24 and 15–30 credits) on student outcomes.
• Analyze achievement gaps between student groups and observe how these gaps change based on academic expectations.
• Use dashboard insights to identify students who may need additional academic support to maintain momentum toward degree completion.
