Tuition Attribution
Tuition Attribution Guide
The Tuition Attribution Guide aims to help users understand the tuition attribution process at the University of Minnesota and how their work could make an impact on that process.
Tuition data snaps
Data snaps are sets of captured tuition data that are recorded sequentially on fixed dates during a given semester. Data snaps are helpful to identify tuition data trends over time, both within a single semester and across multiple semesters.
There are five data snaps per term, including a pre-term snap for earlier tuition trends. The five snaps are the following:
- Snap 1: Three weeks before Twin Cities campus start of term
- Snap 2: First day of Twin Cities term
- Snap 3: End of second week of Twin Cities term
- Snap 4: End of fourth week of Twin Cities term
- Snap 5: Last day of instruction for Twin Cities
Note: The snap dates are the same for all campuses, based on the Twin Cities regular academic session.
Support contacts
For technical assistance with the new tuition dashboards, contact ASR's Student Data and Analytics team.
