Mission

The mission of the Office of Institutional Effectiveness (IE) is to support planning, decision-making, and assurance of student learning at University of North Florida by providing information that is timely and of the highest quality. The scope of the unit's responsibility is campus-wide. The unit provides official reporting to external agencies, such as the Florida Board of Governors, the entire University community including the Board of Trustees, and other units, both internal and external. In doing this, the IE Office collects, analyzes, and interprets data to provide information that is appropriate for use in planning and decision-making; organizes and maintains institutional data, and serves as a catalyst for institutional self-analysis and improvement.
