Mission and Major Responsibilities

Our mission is to provide accurate information and data to meet federal and state reporting requirements as well as to provide data analysis that supports and guides the operational and strategic decisions of the university.

Compliance: In response to the increased need for public disclosure, the Office of Institutional Research and Data Management (IRDM) maintains a section that responds specifically to both state and federal requirements. See Compliance & Student Right To Know.

Internal Reporting: Internal data, trend analysis, and marketing research provide the university community with information to support recruitment, retention, and graduation. See Dashboard and Facts & Figures.

Internal Surveys: Recurring and on-request internal surveys are designed to help UNO maintain quality customer service and address student opinion and needs. See Surveys.

National/Professional Surveys: Results from national or professional surveys are disseminated to the university community about trends in higher education. See Surveys.

Required Reporting: Many reports are mandated by federal and state government, the University of Louisiana System and Louisiana Board of Regents, accreditation associations and selected data exchange agencies on a scheduled, systematic basis. See Compliance & Student Right to Know, Dashboard and Facts & Figures.

Schedules and Deadlines: Major reporting calendar by agency and UNO's internal survey schedule.
