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 workbook presents select graduate program statistics to support annual Graduate Research Scholar Community reports. More information on the GRS Fellowships and Communities can be found at https://kb.wisc.edu/grad/33338.

Separate dashboards in the workbook display aggregate data on the demographic characteristics of applicants and enrolled students, as well as providing data related to funding, time-to-degree, and completion rates.

Filter controls apply to each dashboard individually and should be reapplied when changing dashboards. Each dashboard allows for comparison between the program and the larger GRS community to provide additional context to the reported numbers.

This Institutional Data Exporter provides four tabs of data output. The first is for doctoral minor enrollments; the second is for graduate and professional certificate enrollments; the third is for doctoral minors awarded; and the fourth is for graduate and professional certificates awarded. Supplemental degree and primary academic program data is also included to provide additional context. Filtering can be done by a list of Campus IDs, Enrollment Terms, Award Completion Terms, Academic Structure, and/or Primary Academic Program Academic Structure.
