IRA is the primary source of statistical information for both internal and external agencies. Our workload is often determined by recurring projects, including data collection and reporting for State and Federal agencies and a variety of national organizations (e.g. US News & World Report, Noel-Levitz). IRA responds to ad hoc requests for data that is not readily available online (at http//www.unt.edu/ir_acc/Resource_Items.htm). Please allow five business days for response to data requests. IRA will also assist with the design and implementation of both paper and online surveys. Please email us well in advance of your deadline so that we may check availability and calendar your project. Institutional Research will provide data that is readily available within two business days. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to serve your data needs.

The Office of Institutional Research & Accreditation (IR&A) develops and maintains extensive data bases, conducts detailed research and provides timely, accurate, and useful data to address the needs of university decision-makers, external agencies, and internal constituents. IR&A reports to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs and takes the lead role in responding to institutional accreditation requirements and helping university decision makers ensure that the principles for continued accreditation with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools are met. The office also provides guidance in the area of institutional effectiveness to help improve the quality of academic offerings, institutional operations and support, and student services at the university in accordance with the institution's mission and in support of the strategic goals.
