When it comes to getting the facts straight, IRSA—formally the Office of Planning, Institutional Research, and Assessment (PIRA)—is the go-to resource for the University community. As the central source for student data, University statistics, and strategic reporting, IRSA remains at the forefront of providing internal and external reporting to faculty, staff, and students.
In addition to producing the University’s annual Fact Book, IRSA supports data requests from across the University and provides official University statistics to support decision-making and policy developments and improvements.
As part of a recent reorganization their team has also improved the ways in which the University community can request data. All data requests can now be submitted through the IRSA data request form. For any other inquiries you can contact them via email at umdata@miami.edu.
