Private Data – Post Graduation Survey

Post-Graduation Survey (PGS) – Data Dashboard

The University of Minnesota conducts a Post-Graduation Survey (PGS) of its graduates, where we reach out to graduates of undergraduate degree programs to learn about their plans during their first year post-graduation.  

The PGS dashboard provides summary data from surveys administered to University of Minnesota undergraduates earning baccalaureate degrees by cohort. Data includes career outcomes, employment information, and continuing education plans with multiple filters.

How to Access

The tools, analytics, and reports referenced on this site are here to help University of Minnesota staff and leadership support efforts that ensure and gauge the success of students in their academic pursuits and career development, so that each student has a fulfilling University of Minnesota experience. The information in the tools, dashboards, and reports is for internal University use only and may not be distributed externally. 

The data on and linked to from this site may include private student education records under the Board of Regents policy on Student Education Records, and is classified as “Private – Restricted” under the University Data Security Classification policy. This data shall be used only as required for the performance of the user’s job functions. Users must complete FERPA training and have the private student data consumer role in UM Analytics in order to access some of the dashboards and reports. 

Need Help?

If you need help getting started or interpreting the data in the dashboards, please email your request or feedback to:  career@umn.edu

If you need to request access to dashboards containing private student data, submit the Reporting Center Access Request Form after completing the FERPA training.  Completion of the Sharing Enterprise Data training is also highly encouraged, though not required.    

• When completing the request form, in the “Access to Private Reports in Reporting Center” section under “Private/Restricted Report Access,” select “Student Private Data.”
• In the “Why is this access needed?” section, give a detailed description of the legitimate business need to access the data. Include details about your job duties, how they necessitate the type of access, and the types of work you perform (e.g. view, verify, monitor, or approve data) that require this type of data access.

Enterprise Data and Management Reporting (EDMR) has additional information about understanding and sharing University data.
