dataMarq Report Definition

Purpose

This report delivers a detailed list of international students who are eligible and/or enrolled for a given term. It is meant to be used by college and academic staff, along with Office of International Education to identify international students in academic programs, levels and student groups. For students to appear on the report, they must have been activated for the selected term by the Registrar (OTR) with one of the following citizenship status codes-

Potential Uses

• Identify international students who are studying in a particular major/minor
• Export a list of students of a specific country or student group for an email list
• Quickly find the academic standing of a particular international student

Page Tabs

At the top of the report are page tabs to different section of the report. The first tab - Directory - focuses on the academic course of study for each international student. The second tab - Summary - contains some basic counts on the elements of country of citizenship, student level, citizen status and group membership.

Filters

Below the page tabs are the groups of filters. These allow users to slice and dice the report to find exactly what they need. Most filters are cascading, meaning if you select China as a country you will only get information in the other filters related to students from China. Filters will also transition across report pages if set.

Table

The main section is a table of student detail. This table can be sorted by any field and the data can be exported (instructions below). Note that the tables may scroll off the screen both horizontally and vertically so it may be necessary to use the scroll bars to see all the detail.

Exporting Data

Data can be exported to Excel from any table in the report. There are ellipses at the top right corner of each table that allow for "More Options". One of those options is to export data and it will automatically push the data to Excel in a csv format.

The Citizenship Status references a student's legal citizenship status in the United States.

As of 2020 the Checkmarq Citizenship Status were generally defined as below-

The country of citizenship references a student's primary citizenship country as declared in CheckMarq. In the case of multiple citizenship, it returns the first one alphabetically.

A block that allows students to restrict the release of some or all of their education records based on the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA).

Blocks for email, addresses, and telephone numbers can be added (and removed) by an individual student via CheckMarq. Complete FERPA blocks (which also restrict the release of the student's name) must be added or removed by the student in person with a member of the Office of the Registrar (OTR) staff. All FERPA blocks are maintained on the student's record by the OTR until the student releases the block.

The presence of a FERPA block indicates that whatever piece of information is blocked (email, address, name, etc.) is not releasable to outside parties.

Marquette's FERPA policy can be found here.

Categorization of a students' primary major or program (graduate) based on the specific field of study.

Some examples of departments include Accounting, Biomedical Sciences, and Strategic Communication.

Characteristics of interest that are associated with a student. This could include:

• Student characteristics (e.g. first generation status, commuter status, legacy status, a)
• Indicator of a student's participation in an activity or program (e.g. study abroad, service learning, tutoring, Les Aspin program)
• Membership to a specific group or cohort (e.g. Educational Opportunity Program, Urban Scholars, Honors program)
• Interest in future studies (e.g. pre-law, pre-pharmacy)

These groups are maintained by various departments across Marquette's campus. Students may be in multiple student groups. A student's membership in a particular group is added and removed by group owners at various times during the academic year. Some student groups are attached to a student for their entire Marquette career while others can be added or removed on a term-by-term basis.

For term-based reports, students are considered in a group if they are marked as in the group as of the report's date. If the term has yet to officially begin, they are considered in the group if they would be in the group at the beginning of the term. If the term has ended, they are considered members if they were in the group at the end of the term.

A specific semester of instruction. For example, fall 2018.

The Visa Type references a non US citizen student's primary visa type used for legal presence in the United States. The most recent visa type is retrieved, when multiple visa are used.
