Glossary of Terms In Administrative Data and Reports

A filterable list of students enrolled within the current term, two future terms, and two past terms, who have had an academic action taken on their student record.

Provides access sorted by school/college, department, plan code, or subject.

This workbook provides information about current activity in the Lumen system. Lumen is the gateway for faculty, curricular representatives, and governance bodies to update, track, and approve functions related to courses, curriculum and programs. Details about each visualization are below:

Course Proposals: shows all course proposals currently in progress with filters related to the course owner and where the proposal is in the governance approval process.

Program Proposals: shows all program proposals currently in progress with filters related to the program owner, the type of proposal and where it is in the governance approval and publication process.

Red Box: shows programs that utilize courses that may need resolution in one or more of the following: inactivation/discontinuation of a course; change of subject; change of catalog number; or new/unapproved course. These items, if not resolved, will result in the software using a 'red-box' around the subject and catalog number combination indicating there is an issue with the course as entered.

Lumen/Guide Roles Directory: lists all Lumen/Guide workflow roles and their members filterable by school/college, department and role type. Includes identifiers for who is a chair or dean and which members are no longer employed by the university.

Obsolete Course Proposal Process: shows all courses identified as obsolete per policy in progress for the current academic year and where the proposal is in the governance process. Includes filters for school/college/division, department, subject or crosslist, course title, and waiver status.

Suspended/Discontinued Programs: tracks academic programs (plans and subplans) that are in the process of being discontinued. Intended for the purpose of aiding schools and colleges with the processes necessary to close down a program.

This report provides Campus IDs, Names, Majors, and Email Addresses of College of Letters and Science Undergraduate students who have applied for graduation in a particular term but who are either not on track to graduate with in-progress work (Pre-Clearance Deficiencies) or were not cleared for graduation during the degree clearance process (Degree Clearance Deficiencies).  It also provides information about unresolved grades of these students.

This interactive visualization provides tenured/tenure-track faculty commitment within a department,  and the ability to download a list of their faculty.

A list of graduate students with optional advisor and plan information.

This data visualization provides information on the background characteristics of postdocs at UW-Madison, their average time spent in postdoctoral training, and their employment outcomes after leaving their postdoc appointment at UW-Madison. It was developed as part of the Coalition for Next Generation Life Science initiative (CNGLS). UW-Madison is a founding member of the Coalition for Next Generation Life Science, which includes 55 national research universities and schools of medicine. The Coalition seeks to improve transparency related to career prospects and opportunities for life sciences trainees, including both graduate students and postdocs.

Degrees, named options, certificates, and doctoral minors awarded by UW-Madison since summer 1999 can be disaggregated by degree level, school/college, department, and major. Degree recipient demographic information is provided, including gender, student of color status, underrepresented student of color status, and international status.

Courses in UW-Madison's Course Catalog have been approved by the University Curriculum Committee and are available for scheduling. Information about these courses include the course subject listings, departments, and school/colleges that offer these courses; course attributes related to general education, breadth, level, and applicability to graduate programs; as well as information about crosslisting and when courses were last taught and their approved learning outcomes.

The four pages in this workbook show degrees and awarded majors conferred in the last 5 years. Each tab is broken down by either term or academic year and includes both a table and a trend graph. The table includes degree recipient demographic information (Gender and Race/Ethnicity) and award information (School/College, Award Level, Awarded Major, and Award Description). These visualizations only include data about degrees that have been awarded. The data are refreshed nightly.

Unofficial student enrollment information as of the census date (end of the 10th day of instruction) by term. Includes breakouts by gender, college and program, admissions type, residency and major, student distributions by age, credits carried, high school percentiles, and student population geographic distributions.

This is a visualization of student credit hours using the Credits Follow the Instructor (CFI) data system which apportions course credits to the section level and then attributes course section credits to the academic unit funding the instructor. This attribution is often different than the academic unit that coordinates the course subject listing(s). The number of student credits hours, the change from previous like semesters, and the relationship between funding department and subject listing(s) are all provided. Student credit hours for fall and spring semesters between fall 2014 and fall 2023 are included.
