SSRS

SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Service) is the tool that Delta College has chosen to extract data from Colleague and odsDW and reports on day-to-day operational data-based questions. You may view reports that you have access to at ssrs2019.delta.edu. Access to reports are restricted to reporting areas based on your role within the college to maintain FERPA compliance.

Transparency

As a publicly funded institution, Delta College is committed to providing information including financial reports to the public. Information for compliance with Sec. 209 in P.A. 60 of 2013, the education omnibus budget bill, which specifies the requirements for community colleges, can be found by visiting the Delta College Transparency page.

Dashboards

Dashboards help an organization get the pulse of metrics they consider important for the health of their organization. Delta has developed a base set of metrics we are currently watching, as well as investigating possible other metrics for the future, continually looking to fine tune processes and provide data and information to help drive decisions at the college.
