The UWM Student Data Warehouse grants access to aggregate data, although it requires several steps in order to access the data. Student information is stored in PeopleSoft, locally known as PAWS (Panther Access to Web Services) at UWM. Much of that data is subsequently selected and stored for reporting access in UWM's Student Data Warehouse, sometimes called the Reporting Data Store (RDS). Most Student Data Warehouse data is refreshed daily and is accessible using query tools.
