Abstract
Student success has come into sharp focus for higher education. Outcome-based funding at the state level and a completion agenda at the national level are driving innovation throughout higher education. One such innovation is integrated planning and advising services (IPAS) systems. In pulling data from information systems to support student success initiatives, what data-related risks should higher education leaders consider? How can those risks be managed and problems avoided? Successfully implementing and integrating IPAS systems across campus provide the data and analytics needed to support student academic success and educational completion by focusing efforts where they can do the most good.
