Institutional Research

Central Piedmont's Institutional Research office provides non-biased, timely and accurate information to college leadership and stakeholders.

Institutional Research is guided by the following core principles:

  • Data accuracy and integrity: ethical use of data as set forth in the AIR Statement of Ethical Principles
  • Protection of privacy and confidentiality: awareness of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), FERPA requirements, and other appropriate release of protected/sensitive data
  • Impartiality: non-biased, objective
  • Collaborative: partnering with colleagues to understand their goals and best meet their information needs

Data provided by the Office of Planning and Research is reported in the aggregate. Our office does not provide record-level data.

  • Data Literacy

    The Office of Planning and Research is collaborating with Organizational Learning and Leadership Development to provide data literacy training to the Central Piedmont community. The training will be a three-part series, beginning with foundational elements of data literacy and progressing to more advanced concepts. Each training series represents a building block in gaining the skills to read data, work with and explore data, and communicate about data.
