- Compiling and disseminating historical data on enrollments, degrees conferred, and retention and graduation rate
- Conducting and analyzing various student data
- Evaluating selected performance indicators for the University's Compact
- Collection of data needed for accreditations
The purpose of the Office is to support the academic mission of the University by coordinating a campus-wide effort to improve learning and teaching effectiveness through assessment and research at classroom, departmental, and institutional levels.
