OIE responds to requests for information from faculty, staff, administrators, students, and the community.  Here are some guidelines that may help you to help us get the data you need.

---

1. Plan ahead.  When making a request, take into account the time required to capture and report the information you are requesting, especially if you need the information by a specific date.

2. Identify the critical questions you want to answer.  Be specific.  Do you need enrollment or headcount, duplicated or unduplicated?  And for what time period -- spring, summer, fall of the current year and/or for a specific previous year?  Do you need contact hours by dean or by location?  Do you want to compare student performance in a particular course with other variables?  Do you want to track a variable over time?  The more specific you are about the questions you are trying to answer, the more useful the information you receive will be.

3. Submit your request to OIE.  You may submit your request via phone at (512) 223-7620, via e-mail at oieinfo@austincc.edu, or by completing a Data Request Form (ACC Personnel only).

Please include the following:

• Name
• Title
• Department
• Classification (i.e. Faculty, Staff, Administrator, Student, Other)
• Email
• Postal Address
• Phone
• Description of the requested information

You will be contacted by an OIE staff member to discuss your request and clarify the specific information you need.

We look forward to working with you!
