This tutorial introduces participants to the Subgroup Gap Analysis report available in the Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) dashboards. Users will learn how to apply dimensions to compare student subpopulations—such as Pell Grant recipients vs. non-recipients—and identify gaps in key success metrics like credit accumulation, retention, and completion. The course also demonstrates how to interpret visualizations, apply filters to refine analysis, and use findings to inform targeted interventions that promote student equity and success.

Learning Outcomes:

• Understand the purpose and functionality of the Subgroup Gap Analysis report.
• Apply dimensions to compare two student populations across various metrics.
• Analyze achievement and equity gaps within and across academic years.
• Use filters to focus analysis on specific subpopulations (e.g., high-achieving students).
• Interpret patterns of gaps over time to inform institutional strategies and interventions.
