The Office of Institutional Research and Assessment Data Request
The following information provides guidance for Pitzer College community members to request data and information through the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment in collaboration with the Office of the Dean of Faculty.
The Office of Institutional Research and Assessment (OIRA) is excited to help support your data needs. Our office receives many data requests, and we try to accommodate as many as can be managed alongside our regular work cycle and staff capacity. The form below was created to help us optimize our ability to respond to requests while also providing clear guidance to data-seekers.
Before making a request, we recommend considering publicly available sources of data.
Guidelines, Policies, and Timeline for Requesting Data
Information already available to authorized users on the portal (e.g., student access to their transcript, faculty access to their class lists and advisee rosters, etc.) is not addressed here. If you cannot find what you need, please complete the form below with specific details about your request.
All requests must fulfill a specific academic or administrative need. Unfortunately, we are currently unable to fulfill requests by students/faculty for academic research or classroom use (i.e., course projects, surveys, scholarly research) due to capacity.
Please note, the Office of Institutional Research and Assessment adheres to the regulatory data privacy policies including Pitzer Student Records Privacy Policies and we trust our community to adhere to all data privacy policies.
The Office of Institutional Research and Assessment abides by AIR Statement of Ethical Principles.
Data Request Form
As a reminder, before making a request, we recommend considering publicly available sources of data.
- Please allow 10 business days for a typical request. Depending on the scope of the project, a team member will reach out and negotiate an adequate project deadline.
- For larger requests and data sets, request the data with greater advance notice as the timeline for the information may vary.
