FERPA-Compliant Student Success Analytics Platform
Public regional university, Southeast US
01 / Challenge
A 28,000-student regional university had 10 years of student outcome data across 14 systems — SIS, LMS, financial aid, advising, and housing — but no ability to use it for early intervention. FERPA concerns had blocked two prior analytics initiatives, and a 29% six-year graduation rate was creating state funding pressure.
02 / Approach
QuettaMinds built a FERPA-compliant student success analytics platform with a data governance layer that enforces legitimate educational interest rules programmatically. The platform identifies at-risk students 8 weeks before typical intervention points using a predictive model trained on deidentified cohort data, and routes alerts to academic advisors with supporting context.
03 / Outcome
Early intervention touchpoints increased 340% in the first academic year. Among students flagged by the system who received intervention, retention to the next semester improved 18 percentage points compared to the prior cohort. The university's six-year graduation rate improved 4.2 points in the first cohort to complete the full cycle.
