The office's objectives are:
- To meet, on time and with accurate information, the external reporting requirements of the state and federal government
- To organize, maintain and disseminate institutional data for decision making, program review and accreditation
- To analyze and interpret data as appropriate, providing the information necessary to plan, assess and make decisions
- To develop and disseminate information on best practices as a means to measure and improve student learning
- To provide information and support to units in their efforts to measure and improve student learning outcomes
