Institutional Research and Effectiveness Support - Data Requests

Guidelines for Requesting Information

Personnel of Institutional Research respond to requests for information from administrators, faculty, staff, and students. Here are some guidelines that may help you to clarify your request.

1. Plan ahead. When making a request, take into account the time required to capture and report the information you are requesting, especially if you need the information by a specific date.
2. Identify the critical questions you want to answer. Be specific. Do you need undergraduate enrollment or total enrollment? And for what time period - Fall, Spring, Summer, current year, previous year? Do you want to track a variable over time? The more specific you are about the questions you are trying to answer, the more useful the information you receive will be.
3. Submit your request to Institutional Research. You may submit your request by emailing or calling one of our staff members listed under the Contact Us tab. If you are requesting a survey to be completed or other type of form, please fax us a copy of the form along with any instructions (FAX: 850.474.3253).

Once your request has been received and assigned to a member of the IR staff, you will be contacted to discuss your request, if needed, and clarify the specific information you need.
