The Academic Data Warehouse (ADW) is a business intelligence application which enables analysis of undergraduate, graduate, and professional student lifecycle processes, data, and trends. The goal of ADW is to provide insights that will assist Boston University administration in strategy development and decision making.
\nThe Academic Data Warehouse contains undergraduate and graduate admissions data, registration and enrollment data, faculty teaching data, and financial aid data. The ADW team under the guidance of the Provost\u2019s Office, Enrollment & Student Administration, Budget & Business Affairs, and IS&T will continue to add data and capabilities related to the student lifecycle.<\/p>\n
This release brings financial aid into the ADW with six certified reports in two new folders. The Financial Aid<\/strong> folder contains two report builders \u2014 enrollment for an aid population (FA1) and student aid history (FA2) \u2014 for aid administrators and anyone tracking their students\u2019 aggregate aid, population trends, and enrollment. The Financial Aid Executive<\/strong> folder contains award-level detail and aid expense reporting \u2014 item type reconciliation (FAX0), student aid award detail (FAX1), award expense by item type (FAX2), and tuition discount (FAX3). Financial aid is a new access area with its own approval; see the ADW Access<\/a> page for how to request it. Please see our FAQ and Help Guide pages for more information about the new reports.<\/p>\n Academic Data Warehouse access is granted based on business need in each data area.
