Internal Requests

Affiliated with Western Oregon University?

Due to technical issues, please download and save the Data Request Form, then email it directly to Institutional Research while we transition to a new system.

Requests currently require at least 3–4 weeks for completion. If your request is urgent, please contact us directly. We are currently prioritizing only Level 1 requests.

If you need information faster, please check data sources already available: IPEDS, Institutional Research’s website, WCS, WolfWeb, Division Chair Reports, etc.

Priorities

Level 1: Campus decision makers, mission critical initiatives, and external entities (HECC, IPEDS, NWCCU).

Level 2: Specialized accreditations, grants, Program Review, and other institutional reviews.

Level 3: Student support, student outreach, retention efforts, etc.

Level 4: Individual faculty and staff requests (ex. data for specialized research or conference presentations).

Level 5: General interest requests not related to university goals or initiatives.

With full staffing levels, the IR Office completes approximately 28 ad hoc data requests per month in addition to all of our standard data reports such as IPEDS, Division Chairs reports, the Common Data Set, and other standing reports.

External Requests

If you are not affiliated with Western Oregon University, you will need to submit your request as a public records request as allowed by the Freedom of Information Act. Please submit your request using the Public Records Request Form.
