Mission
The Office of Institutional Research (OIR) provides timely and accurate analytical information about the College to both our internal and external constituents, for executive decision making and policy development. OIR is the primary source for current and historical data about student enrollment, demographics, and outcomes. We coordinate these services in an objective, systematic, and thorough manner, in direct support of the College’s Strategic Plan.
The Office accomplishes its mission by:
- Providing descriptive and predictive statistical information to the college, governmental authorities, accrediting bodies, and other key stakeholders.
- Providing reports for informed decision making that is unbiased and of the highest quality.
- Compiling, analyzing, interpreting, and modeling data that supports institutional strategic initiatives, promotes accountability, and fosters a data-driven culture.
- Providing relevant and accurate data to the college community.
- Designing, disseminating, and analyzing numerous institutional surveys.
Vision
The Office of Institutional Research will be recognized within the College for facilitating a culture of evidence-based decision-making and promoting institutional improvement.

Requests for Data
LCC Staff may request data from the OIR. The Public may request information via the Public Records Request form located here: https://luna.edu/public_records_requests
LCC Staff -
If you did not find the data you were searching for on our website, you will have to complete and submit an IT Ticket to be routed to the OIR. It is best to plan ahead and provide us with as much information and notice as possible when requesting information. If needed, someone from the OIR will contact you to discuss your request in more detail.
When requesting large datasets and trend data for external analysis, please be aware that they require considerable time and effort to prepare. Requests for information may take up to a few days or several weeks which depends on the complexity of your request, the availability of information, and the workload of the OIR staff at the time of your request. Likewise, data requests that are an institutional priority may delay your request. The data that we use for reporting is owned by other departments on campus and contains highly confidential and sensitive information.
