Research at Cabrillo

The Research area of Planning & Research (PRO) provides data tools, reports, and analyses that support data-informed decision-making, equity-focused planning, and student success.

Research Requests and Prioritization Guidelines

Institutional Analysis and Reporting

Request analysis, interpretation, dashboards, or reports based on existing institutional data to support planning, compliance, equity efforts, and data-informed decision-making.

Research, Design, and Evaluation

Request support for research design, surveys, evaluation, or grant-related analysis that involves new data collection, outcomes measurement, or project-specific reporting.

Please note: You will be prompted to sign in to Okta to submit a Research Request.

Requests are reviewed using Prioritization Guidelines to ensure they align with the college’s mission and goals as well as required planning and reporting timelines.

If you are requesting student contact lists such as mailing addresses or similar information, please submit a Marketing request instead.

Dashboards and Data Tools

PRO maintains interactive dashboards that provide access to college-wide and program-level metrics related to enrollment, persistence, completion, equity and disproportionate impact, and program outcomes. Dashboards are designed to help campus practitioners independently explore and interpret data for planning and improvement.
