Gatekeeper Course Analysis

The purpose of this analysis is to identify undergraduate courses with unusually high rates of unsatisfactory student performance.  These "Gatekeeper" courses prevent a large proportion of students from progressing to later courses.  The Gatekeeper Course Analysis, which may be downloaded as an Excel Workbook, summarizes grade distributions at the course level over the past five calendar years.  Classes with high rates of poor performance or high rates of student withdrawal are then identified at the Subject, Faculty, and University levels.

Two Gatekeeper Analyses are available.  In the first, "Unsatisfactory Performance" is defined as a grade of "C- or lower".  In the second analysis, "Unsatisfactory Performance" is defined as a grade of "D or lower".
