It is the business of Institutional Studies to keep track of the academic, financial, staff and space profiles at the UW and to make this information available to academic planners. They periodically publish the UW Factbook as well as maintain the databases. For instance, student information is taken on the 10 th day of the academic quarter, space information is obtained once a year. The classes are one tool we use. Training is required to gain entrance into the OIS database.
Classes run for eight hours and are offered on a space-available basis.
There is no charge, but registration is necessary.
