Office of Institutional Effectiveness & Strategic Planning
The primary purpose of the Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Strategic Planning is to conduct a comprehensive program of data collecting, analysis and reporting and university-wide assessment to support strategic planning and institutional effectiveness. These processes enhance the University’s mission of providing quality academic and non-academic programs, services and activities for its students.
If you are not a UWA student or employee and need to request specific data, please email badkison@uwa.edu.
The University of West Alabama (UWA) identifies, evaluates, and publishes goals and outcomes for student achievement appropriate to its mission, the nature of the students it serves, and the kinds of programs offered.
Graduation rates represent the number of students that complete a degree program in a specific timeframe. They are reported by cohorts for 6 year completions, 5 year completions, and 4 year completions.
