What is
a
Student Detail Report

Some of the main functionality in this type of report is that it it uses data from the student information system and can be filtered based on parameters such as school and year. The example shows all students in a particular school and campus, along with birth date, age, gender, ethnicity, major and GPA. You find an example of this type of report below.
Purpose of
Student Detail Reports Universities and colleges use Student Detail Reports to provide administrators with self-service, web-based access to retrieve student data in a user-friendly format. When used as part of good business practices, a higher education institution can improve its time spent to retrieve student data, and it can reduce the chances that users have to wait for days for IT or other system experts to provide them with reports.
