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

Examples of information to provide in a data request:

  • Student classification (freshman, sophomore, etc.)
  • Student level (undergraduate, graduate)
  • Student type (first time freshman, first time transfer, etc.)
  • Academic term (fall, spring, summer)
  • Academic year (single year or range of years)
  • CIP codes / Program codes
  • Course numbers / CRNs
  • Retention rates (specify: 1-year, 2-year, etc.)
  • Graduation rates (specify: 4-year, 5-year, 6-year)
  • Fiscal year (for finance data)

For employees requesting data for bona fide business needs, including the purpose of your data request (describing what your request is intended to demonstrate or validate) can be helpful to DADS staff as they structure your report or dataset, especially if you are not exactly sure which data you need for your request.
