Student reports give you a complete picture of how your students are performing, attending, and progressing across your institution. All student reports are generated from your Admin Dashboard and can be exported in multiple formats. From your Admin Dashboard, select Reports in the left sidebar, then choose Students to access student-specific reports.

Available student reports

Student attendance

Track attendance patterns across your institution or within a specific course.
  • View attendance by student, course, or date range
  • Identify absent rates and flag students who fall below a threshold

Using reports for compliance and audits

Student reports can support external audits, accreditation reviews, and regulatory reporting.
  • Attendance records serve as documentation for institutions required to track attendance by law or accreditation standards.
  • Transcripts provide official academic records for students applying to other institutions.
  • Enrollment reports verify headcount and program participation for government or grant reporting.
Export and archive reports at the end of each term. Retaining historical exports gives you a consistent audit trail even if data is updated later.

Sharing reports with parents or students

DeanDesk does not currently send reports directly from the Reports page. To share a report:
  1. Export the report as a PDF.
  2. Send the PDF to the parent or student via Direct Message or email.
For transcripts specifically, students with access to their own student portal can request a transcript download from their profile page.
