Student Success Viewer

Student Success Viewer is a replacement for the Student Explorer. ITS Teaching & Learning has contributed to the design, development, and management of the Student Success Viewer tableau dashboard.

If you were not a user of Student Explorer and need access to the Student Success Viewer, please complete and submit the Student Success Viewer Access Request form. Otherwise, access the Student Success Viewer by clicking on the orange Student Success Viewer Login button.

Student Success Viewer is an early warning system that helps academic advisors identify at-risk students using Learning Management System (LMS) data from Unizin Data Platform (UDP). It presents actionable intelligence to academic advisors using data about students' current term grades, activity, and assignments. By helping them identify students at risk of academic jeopardy, the tool enables advisors to create timely interventions directing students toward resources that may facilitate behavioral change and academic growth and success.

Advisors can establish both lower and upper bounds to assess students' success within the bell curve, relative to the class average, identifying their placement as Green, Yellow, or Red.

  • A Student with agreen circle icon should be encouraged to continue using the strategies to maintain a high grade in the course.
  • A Student with ayellow triangle icon requires some exploration into why their grade is in the mid range.
  • A Student with a​​​​​​​red diamond icon ​​​​​​​should be engaged to discover what could be contributing to the lower grade percentage.
  • A Student with a black X icon shows null values, which means Non-submission of assignments by the student or the instructor's decision not to grade the assignment should be engaged to discover what could be contributing to null.

This dashboard is designed to help academic advisors identify academically at-risk students using Canvas Unizin data.

Data Availability

If you are unable to see the latest or expected data for a student in the Student Success Viewer, it may be due to a data refresh error during the nightly process. ITS is aware when this happens, and will re-run the refresh process after 2 p.m. During the refresh process, the app is available for users; however, the latest data will not be available until after the refresh is completed. Please check back at that time. If you still see data discrepancies, contact the ITS Service Center.
