SHSU Employees Data Request

Submit a request to DADS:

To submit a request to the Data Analytics and Decision Support (DADS) team, employees should use our Request Form. You can submit a request for:

• a dataset (institutional data organized in tabular format)
• an analysis (examination of data to support decision-making)
• a training session (professional development opportunity for you or your unit/team)
• a consultation (discussion with an analyst)
• a Cognos report (request a new report, correct/modify an existing report, request access, or remove access)

After submitting the DADS Request Form, a Katalyst ticket will automatically be created for you. If you do not receive an email notification that a ticket has been created within 15 minutes of submitting the request form, or if you experience any other issues, please contact dads@shsu.edu.

Please be as thorough as possible when describing a data or report request.
