Overview

This view contains students who have been awarded a degree and student who have applied for a degree.

Critical Concepts

Pre-Joined Data

• Pre-joined with Current, Historical, and First recorded activities and information about students comes from from SAH-Demographics-View and SAH-StudentStatsPerTerm-View and SAH-StudentStatsPerTermCensus-View Quick Start Guide

Degree Applications vs Degree Awarded

• Degree Applications must be submitted before a Degree is awarded, but not all applications are approved

• Degree Applications and Degree Awards come from two different systems. These systems are not designed to align.

• Degree Application Status is from the Degree Applications tool and only applies to the applications

• Degree Status is from the SIS tool and only applies to degrees that are awarded

Term Set - Awarded Term vs Term Set - Reported Term

• Awarded Term = The Term in which the student was physically handed the degree.

• Reported Term = The Term in which it was reported to UCOP that the student was given a degree.

• These may not match, especially in the case of retroactive degrees. Retroactive degrees are not flagged in ISIS but are sometimes noted in VAC.

Doctoral Committee Chair/Co-Chair Data

• Doctoral Committee Chair and Co-Chair data is often manually entered into the source system to allow for non-UCSD faculty for joint-degrees, and so the data available via SAH may be limited (ie. Employee ID may be missing).

Granularity

Granularity is the scale or level of detail present in a set of data.  It identifies where levels of uniqueness exists in the data.  The data lives in the view at the lowest level, but each BI tool totals the levels differently.

The LOD on degree view is degree per student and "Award Sequence Identifier" comes into play when multiple degrees are awarded.
