Prioritization of Data Requests 

The timeline for completing data requests can vary depending on workload within the office and what data priorities are occurring at the time of the request. Several factors go into the timeline of a request, but overall, the office prioritizes data requests based on the following levels and the data the information requested is due. 

Priority Level 1: Mandatory Reporting (i.e., federal, state, and accreditation) 

Priority Level 2: Strategic Plan and Institutional Decision-Making Reporting 

Priority Level 3: Grants and National Survey Reporting 

Priority Level 4: Individual campus-based data requests 

To ensure that we can meet your desired timeline, please submit your request at least two weeks prior to when the information will be needed.
