#vizoftheweek 4: UTA Has a Team That Will Help You Graduate

The Graduation Help Desk provides services to all undergraduate students and can help you overcome barriers to graduating on time, including any fines or holds on your transcripts, issues in your classes, and enrolling in the one course you need to graduate! Click on a category within a visualization on the dashboard to see the entire screen change to reflect data for that category. For more info about this unit, visit https://www.uta.edu/records/graduation/helpdesk or email graduationhelp@uta.edu.

This visualization was a collaboration effort, with the data collected by the Graduation Help Desk and reporting completed each year. As a system-funded service, the team creates thorough reports of their impact on assisting UTA students, and this infographic was provided along with the most recent report. I created two versions: one for the print report (scanned PDF attached), and one for online data exploration (see below).

Note: A new, different dataset was introduced between the production of the interactive dashboard and the PDF report. So, the numbers and some of the categories are different and updated in the PDF.
