Institutional Research
Query Requests
Page Content
Overview
The Office of Institutional Research at 91少女集中营 creates and alters queries for internal community members. While the Office accepts ad hoc data requests, query requests focus more on making changes to existing queries and creating new ones which are helpful in generating reports for those who need it on a frequent basis, providing flexibility and ease of access to end users directly. A query request typically involves a dataset that will be utilized multiple times with minimal changes to its criteria; for entirely unique datasets that are not foreseen as potential repeats, please submit a standard data request.
For running these queries, query run access is required.
