The purpose of the study was to investigate if commonly collected data correlates with student success at week eight of the first term for first time, full time, students. This is an ex-post facto study of student data. A Spearman's rho test was used to analyze the data for correlational analysis to determine if variables contained within correlated positively with student academic success as measured by midterm GPA. This study reviewed seven commonly collected variables and found that midterm GPA did have a moderately positive correlation with student engagement with the learning management system (r = 0.591), measured through average weekly logins, as well as the student's high school GPA (r = 0.522). Order of student completion of application to the university, FAFSA completion, deposit order, orientation completion order as well as average emails sent per week did not show a statistically significant correlation. The study results as well as implications for practitioners interested in collecting and using commonly collected data are discussed.
