Thank you for your interest in collaborating with the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment (IRA).  

We are excited to announce the launch of a new request policy for the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment (IRA). This policy aims to streamline the process for submitting any request to our office, ensure consistency in how we handle your needs, and improve communication throughout the process.


Key features of the new policy:

  • Comprehensive scope: The policy covers all types of requests submitted to IRA, including data requests, information inquiries, project consultations, and more.
  • Clear guidelines: The policy lays out the steps involved in submitting a request, including who to contact, what information is required, and the expected turnaround time. 
  • Simplified forms: New, user-friendly forms guide you through the request process, prompting you to consider the scope of the request and ensuring you provide all the necessary details for efficient handling.
  • Improved communication: We are committed to keeping you informed throughout the process, providing updates and feedback on your request status.
  • Dedicated support: Our team is available to answer your questions and provide assistance with submitting your request.


Why are we making these changes?

We believe that the new policy will:

  • Enhance your experience: By simplifying the process and providing clear expectations, we hope to make interacting with IRA easier and more efficient.
  • Increase transparency: Consistent procedures and improved communication ensure you understand how your request is handled.
