What is the difference between
Enterprise Reporting and LOUIE (PeopleSoft)?
|
| LOUIE is a real-time transactional system which handles day-to-day operations like enrolling
students into classes and posting grades. Enterprise
Reporting is a reporting tool which uses the data
warehouse data to generate reports. The data in LOUIE changes minute to minute. The data in
Enterprise Reporting is refreshed seven nights a week from the LOUIE system and does not change throughout the day. |

| What is the NAU Data Warehouse
|
| The NAU Data Warehouse is a central storage space for information that comes from different
systems across the university. Many of the university business and student systems do not interact
with one another. The NAU Data Warehouse brings these different systems together into one place where
users can view and analyze data to support the decisions they make every day. Now, with the NAU Data Warehouse,
users can see "The Big Picture" by examining university-wide trends and patterns. That means better-informed
decisions about policies that affect the university. |

| What is FERPA?
|
| The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect
to their personal education records. Please visit the FERPA home page for more information.
|
| All users must complete the FERPA online tutorial
prior to receiving access to Enterprise Reporting or the LOUIE system. The
tutorial can be found at
www4.nau.edu/ferpa. |
| |
| Who can have access to the NAU Data Warehouse and
Enterprise Reporting?
|
| Due to FERPA regulations, an NAU faculty or staff member can have access if and only if s/he has a need
to know the information as part of an official and legitimate educational interest. |
| Under this principle, access to student information is based on normal job duties and the purpose
and scope of the proposed use of the information. |
| All employees requesting access to the NAU Data Warehouse are
required to have training in FERPA regulations. NAU has created a
FERPA online tutorial that must be completed prior to requesting
access to the NAU Data Warehouse via Enterprise Reporting. The FERPA
tutorial can be found at
www4.nau.edu/ferpa. |
