Resolved: Wrong Academic Plan Effective Date for ERSx

Update July 16, 2026:    A fix for the Academic Plan effective dates at census has been applied to Institution Summary [i.e. Retention and Graduation] dashboards in Campus Data Warehouse production. This fix adjusts Academic Plan at Matriculation data that changed after census snapshots to their status as of census of their matriculation term where possible. This resolves many of the discrepancies on the Retention and Graduation dashboards between the Major Concentration (e.g. College Description/Major Long Description at Matriculation) and Academic Plan (e.g. Academic Plan Owner/Academic Plan at Matriculation) fields.  

Resolved: Incorrect Percentage Calculations on Course Registration Trend

Image
Update 7/16/2026: Issue Resolved -  The Course Registration dashboard has been updated in Campus Data Warehouse production to fix an issue that was causing incorrect capacity metrics for some courses.  The issue was caused by duplicate course-level records in the Student Enrollment Aggregate - Snapshot dataset. The model was grouping records at a level that did not fully align with the dimensions being included, which caused some enrollment, waitlist, capacity, and percentage-of-capacity metrics to be aggregated incorrectly for certain courses. The data model has been updated to better align the grouping logic with the underlying student enrollment snapshot data. The Course Registration dashboard calculations were also adjusted so enrollment, capacity, waitlist, units, and percentage-of-capacity metrics aggregate correctly across academic careers. Users may notice that capacity metrics on this dashboard can differ from other course dashboards. This dashboard only includes cour...
