This tutorial demonstrates how to use the Postsecondary Data Partnership (PDP) Credit Completion Ratio, Institution-Level dashboard to examine first-year credit completion rates among new transfer-in students. Participants will learn to apply filters and dimensions to assess differences by academic preparedness (specifically English readiness) and Pell grant recipient status. The tutorial highlights how first-year credit accumulation patterns can predict long-term credential success and where early interventions may be needed.

Learning Outcomes:

• Navigate and apply filters and dimensions within the PDP Credit Completion Ratio dashboard.
• Analyze credit completion patterns for transfer-in students by English readiness and Pell grant status.
• Identify student populations that may benefit from additional academic support or financial resources.
• Understand the relationship between early credit momentum and long-term credential completion.
