For all data requests, please visit the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness (www.brcc.edu/research) website first. If you are unable to find the data you are looking for, please fill out the request information below. Requests will generally be answered in one week depending on complexity. In many cases the request will be filled in less than a week. Someone in our office will contact you to discuss your request in more detail if we have questions.

Please give us as much notice as possible when requesting data, for some requests take longer than others depending on the nature of the data and the source for the data.

Type of request (check one):

Ad hoc research data request. These are requests for data to investigate a particular question or issue. These are often on-time requests or requests for data that will be tracked for a short period of time. These requests will be handled by the Office of Institutional Research and Effectiveness, most likely through the RADSS database.

On-going report request. These are operational reports or reports that will be needed on a set basis (daily, weekly, monthly, annually). These data requests will be managed through ICS using Peoplesoft. ICS personnel will set-up the initial query, after which time the unit/person requesting the data will have access to the query and will be able to run it as needed from his/her desktop using Peoplesoft.
