PDP: Transfer Dashboard Introduction and Basic Functionality
This tutorial introduces participants to the Transfer Dashboard available in the Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) dashboards. Users will learn how to analyze transfer activity over time, understand the types of institutions to which students transfer, and assess credential attainment both prior to and after transferring. The course also covers key dashboard features such as earned credit milestones, transfer timing, and destination institution types. Participants will learn how to apply dimensions and filters to focus on specific student populations, identify achievement gaps, and use insights to support student success initiatives across transfer pathways.
