Report Description

The GSA (Graduate Student Association) dashboard is to be used by GSA authorized staff to obtain data analytics for optional incidental fees.  As of the Fall 2019 term, per the Provincial government mandate, some student fees are deemed to be optional and students are given a means to opt out of paying them.  The dashboard will provide GSA staff some insight into what type of students are choosing to opt out and may be used to allow better targeting of campaigns.  

Data Security

Specific users have been identified as GSA staff as well as current GSA executives are added to the Grouper Group and have access to the dashboard.  

Report Contents

  • In this report only fees which have been designated as optional per Student Choice Initiative are included. Only terms since Fall 2019 (1209) are available for selection as Optional fees project was implemented from this term forward. 
  • Only terms where the fee was charged will be available - if a fee was not charged due to Covid then no data will be available for that particular term. 
  • This report contains only students who are "Assigned Registered" i.e. defined by UW to have actually paid or have promised to pay to the satisfaction of the university 
  • In this  report "Opted Out" means that students have actively engaged in Quest self-service and selected they do not want to contribute to this student endowment 
  • In this report "Not Opted Out" means either student has actively engaged in Quest self-service and did not choose to opt out of this particular endowment fee OR they have not actively engaged in optional fee in Quest self service either because they are unaware of the functionality or because they have decided not to opt out of any fees.  They can both be considered "paid" for the purpose of access to specific services. 

Summary by Term


(1) Opt Out Summary

On this visual the user is able to see the percentage of students who have not opted out vs those who have opted out of a particular fee.  The display's result reflects filters which are applied in (2).

The visual can be drilled-through (add link once doc published)  to display additional details based on Area of Study  (should I add a anchor and link?)

(2) Selection Filter

Filter applicable to the visual include:

  • Degree type  - single or multiple degree types can be selected.  Other means Grad no level graduate student.  
  • Area of study - Area of Study equals faculty except for religious college courses which are grouped under theology.
  • Term - single term can be selected.  Note depending if the fee is charged for a particular term, there maybe no data available. 

  • Cumulative Terms in Residence - a sliding scale of terms in residence can be selected 


Drill Through - Details

The Details page provides additional details based on the selection made on Summary by term page for Optout Status, Term and Fee Name. 

(1) Details by Area of Study/Program

This visualization provides breakdown by Area of Study for Term, Fee and Opt Out Status.   

The Details by Area of Study can be further drilled down to provide details based on Program of study (is this screen shot required?  I think not)  - what's the trick with the graphic that won't copy from snaggit?
