Freeze Calendar
The freeze calendar indicates the dates when data are frozen. There are two tables below. The first indicates when data will be available for reporting. The second table is when IDA+A intends to capture data. Due to validation processes and data curation and analysis, additional time is needed after data is captured before the data can be produced for our consumers. IDA+A communicates with the student data community when data are available for analytics professionals to begin their work.
Additional information about these Data Capture Events is available in Data Cookbook. For academic calendars, and additional dates, please review the Office of the Registrar’s website.
