Our Team
As part of the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President, the Office of Institutional Research, Planning and Effectiveness provides vision and leadership to the reporting, institutional research, assessment, strategic planning and accreditation activities of the institution.
We are the official reporting source for CSU and maintain data records as well as complete mandated reporting requirements. As a service office, we strive to provide faculty and staff with the information they need to make the best decisions for the university.
Contact us ([email protected]) with questions about the data our office publishes or to discuss what other data / reports may be possible, this includes faculty seeking institutional data for research.
