I. M.Motivation
Recently the discovery methodologies were used to enhance and evaluate the higher education tasks.
Universities record data containing valuable information about students, which are usually only used individually and for official uses
In this direction, some models have been proposed and implemented.

I. M.Objective
Knowledge discovery was conducted on the available databases to evaluate the current academic standings of the students and to make viable predictions for the future.
A system that integrates the knowledge discovery process with the Database Management System (DBMS)
Information is obtained by using students’ demographical data.

discover individual student characteristics that are associated with their success by using a Microsoft Decision Trees.
Step1:Preparation of database knowledge discovery research was conducted on demographical data of
the students
Student data obtained from the database of the directory of student affairs of the university consist of many tables
These are: the registered information for state, high school information, Turkish university entrance exam degree and university placement information, family’s living conditions and financial status.
GPAs of the students are the best indicators for the success level of the education, was used as target column

Model validation and lift graphics Accordingly the lift value becomes 87/50 = 1.74 for Model I and
68/50 = 1.36 for Model II. This indicates that these models have prediction capacity.

I. M.Conclusion
The paper presents a knowledge discovery applied on university students’ demographical data
In order to explore the factors having impact on the success of university students, MUSKUP has been developed and tested on this data
The classifications attempt to find out which demographic data is most influential on student GPA.
In checking performances of the models, lift graphics were used
