From eaclune at smcm.edu Fri Dec 13 09:06:16 2013 From: eaclune at smcm.edu (Clune-Kneuer, Elizabeth) Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2013 10:06:16 -0500 Subject: [COPLAC-IR] COPLAC Data Profile 13-14 Collection Message-ID: Dear COPLAC Institutional Research Colleagues, I hope that your semester has been going well! Over the Fall semester, I have revised the COPLAC data profile collection based upon feedback that I had received from the group at the last meeting as well as through consultation with Bill Spellman and Lynn Boyce. One of the primary concerns that I have heard in the past was that there were questions regarding definitions of specific elements contained within the data profile. As a result, I have modified the process for collection as well as the elements contained within the profile. All elements (except for minor instances where they are most likely compiled already ex. SAT averages) have been mapped to existing data sources (CDS, IPEDS, or Academe from AAUP). This mapping is contained within the Excel spreadsheet that notes where the information can be located. My hope is that this clarify what is collected and on what timetable. Additionally, I have created a Google form to submit the information rather than emailing Excel documents. If the need arises to substantially correct data, please resubmit all data contained within the form. After the 2013-14 profile collection is complete, I will send out a short feedback form so that we can re-evaluate the process for future revisions, if necessary. Please submit the COPLAC data profile data to be by March 15th. Here is the link for the form: http://ow.ly/rFr3t. This data is in between the Winter and Spring collections for IPEDS. I know that there are many demands on all of the IR staff?s time, but I greatly appreciate your assistance in this process. If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email (eaclune at smcm.edu) or give me a call (240-895-4274). Thank you for your patience as we negotiate all of these changes. If you have ideas or suggestions going forward, please feel free to send them my way. Thanks and have a great day. Elizabeth Elizabeth A. Clune-Kneuer, M.Ed.
