Institutional Research

The Office of Institutional Research (IR) at Iowa Valley Community College District (IVCCD) collects and analyzes data to advance our college’s mission. The office provides information to guide decisions, improve student outcomes, and strengthen programs, supporting IVCCD’s mission to deliver quality learning in a diverse environment.

IR collaborates to address federal and state reporting, tracks student success metrics like graduation and employment, and supports accreditation with the Higher Learning Commission. We work with faculty, staff, and leadership to ensure data informs planning and meets Iowa and federal requirements.

IVCCD Institutional Review Board

The IVCCD Institutional Review Board (IRB) oversees all research projects involving our students, staff, or data. The IRB ensures research is ethical, protects participants, and aligns with IVCCD’s values. Faculty, students, or external researchers must submit proposals to the IRB for review before starting any project.
