Institutional Research Plan
Annually our office publishes an Institutional Research Plan to define data needs across the college district. The annual process involves the following steps:
- District-wide requests for data or research for the upcoming academic year (August-July) are collected from faculty and staff.
- We look for trends and areas of overlap where data requests can be consolidated.
- Next, our time and work is arranged to ensure that these requests can be met in a timely manner.
- All requests are then incorporated into a printed schedule organized by due date. These receive priority over ad hoc requests.
All data requests received are then compiled by our office. Requests not submitted will be considered ad hoc requests and will be worked into the schedule as time permits.
