Student Readiness Report: data completeness

Enhancement

College profile field updates

Naviance is removing fields from college profiles that are no longer supported by the data provider Peterson’s. Many of these fields are either redundant or provide data that is not impactful for a high school student in evaluating potential colleges. The following fields have been removed:

  • Majors section

    • One Year Job Placement Rate

    • Study Options section

      • Combined Degree Program

      • Graduate Study Abroad

      • Graduate Study Abroad Credit

      • Graduate Study Abroad Noncredit

      • Study Abroad Credit

      • Study Abroad Noncredit

  • Student Life section

    • Campus Pride Index – LGBTQ friendly rating – This rating index no longer exists, and the data is no longer refreshed so Naviance is removing it to ensure the most relevant and accurate data.

    • Distance from college to “Nearest City”

    • Athletics section

      • Conferences

    • Student organizations and services section

      • ROTC – Serviceperson Opportunity College

    • Majors offered section

      • Removing columns in the Majors table for all degree types expect for Associate and Bachelor's degree. Moving forward, only Associate and Bachelors degrees will show in this table.

      • Removing the headers that separate and group majors

Additionally, Naviance is updating the Fraternities and Sororities fields in the Student organizations and services section in the Student Life section. This field will now display a yes or no next to indicate if the college or university has fraternities, sororities, or both. Previously, the count of the number of fraternities and sororities showed in this section.
