How can colleges and universities use data to improve student success and institutional performance?

Most higher education institutions manage siloed systems for enrollment, advancement, accreditation, and student outcomes. This fragmentation makes it difficult to see the full picture. With a modern data architecture, colleges and universities can integrate data from across campus systems, delivering Student 360 and Institution 360 views that support recruitment, retention, fundraising, and long-term achievement.

Why Data Modernization Matters in Higher Education

Institutions need timely, accurate insights to guide enrollment trends, retention strategies, and alumni engagement. But legacy architectures and flat reporting make it hard to act with confidence. By modernizing, institutions can:

  • Move data out of silos into a governed, cloud-native environment.
  • Deliver real-time dashboards that track enrollment, retention, and giving.
  • Enrich internal data with third-party household datasets to better understand alumni wealth and spending power.
  • Provide faculty, staff, and leadership with accessible, role-based insights.

How It Works

Passerelle helps higher education institutions move from siloed, hard-to-access data to governed, cloud-based architectures. Using prebuilt connectors for common core systems, data is ingested, standardized, and modeled within Snowflake. From there, curated dashboards and predefined use cases provide immediate value—whether aligning advancement data with third-party datasets or giving enrollment teams real-time insight into student success metrics.
