Data Requests

The Internal Research Data Request form is intended for use by the faculty and staff of SUNO to request data from the Office of Institutional Research. Use of this form will allow requests to be organized and prioritized, which should expedite the process of providing requested research data. This procedure will also allow for tracking requests, which will help to ensure that the data received is the data that was requested.

 

*Advanced planning is recommended.  Please allow at least five to ten days for research requests to be fulfilled. Your data may be ready sooner, depending on the complexity of the request and other office priorities. You will be notified if the information you are requesting is not available.
