HelioCampus

Montclair State University has partnered with HelioCampus, a Maryland based higher education data analytics consulting company, to build an integrative Student Lifecycle Data Analytics platform. Data from Admissions, Enrollment, and Financial Aid has been brought together in a forward-thinking initiative that aims to identify areas of opportunity to improve yield, persistence, and retention.

The platform will focus on 3 major areas with dashboards:

1. Admissions: Information about students who applied, were admitted, and enrolled along with Admit and Yield rates

2. Student Success: Information on enrolled students including Retention and Graduation rates

3. Financial Aid: Details on Financial Aid offered, accepted, and disbursed

To view these dashboards please contact the Office of Institutional Research & Effectiveness at heliocampus-support@montclair.edu.
