DPM Dashboard

Purpose and Scope

The DPM Dashboard is designed to track and monitor the academic progress of doctoral students at UTRGV. It provides insights into student enrollment, academic standing, and program-specific progress, supporting timely graduation tracking. The dashboard includes the DPM App, a PowerApp component that allows Graduate Program Coordinators (GPCs) and the Graduate College to directly update student records in real-time. This tool streamlines data management by enabling users to edit and manage student information without leaving the dashboard, ensuring timely and accurate updates.

Explore Dashboard

Data Sources and Structure

The dashboard pulls data from UTRGV’s Banner system and other institutional databases. It organizes student information by program, academic standing, and key performance metrics such as completed credit hours and expected graduation.

Navigation and User Instructions

Users can navigate through various sections of the dashboard using filters for College, Department, Program, and student-specific details. Each tab offers a distinct view, from overall student progress to detailed individual records. The embedded DPM App allows Graduate Program Coordinators to update student data directly within the dashboard.

Key Metrics and Visualizations

The dashboard highlights critical metrics, including total students, students in good standing, credit hours, and expected graduates. Key visualizations include bar charts, heat maps, and tables that summarize academic standing, graduation timelines, and program-specific insights.
