Student Data Super Users

Student Data Super User Training Program

First launched in 2016, the Cal Answers Student Data Super User Training Program provides select staff a unique leadership and professional development opportunity to become an expert in a campus-wide tool that supports data-driven decision making. Cal Answers Student Data includes information about undergraduate applicants, curriculum, demographics and outcomes, and financial aid.

The main role of the Super Users is to provide the important function of ensuring our campus has a cohesive group of senior-level data analysts with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to help define and analyze the most critical student data issues. In addition, Super Users offer campus units a local person to assist them with their Cal Answers Student Data analytical research.


Student Data Super Users

After completing training, Super Users may spend a few hours per month working collaboratively on best practices regarding student data analytics and, as needed, supporting their unit’s staff by providing updates on Cal Answers enhancements and answering questions about using the tool and interpreting the data.
