FAU Procedures for Reporting to the BOG

The Office of Institutional Effectiveness and Analysis (IEA) at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) follows the Board of Governor’s (BOG) processes and procedures for data submission. Programmers and other administrative staff across campus upload the data files into the application portal and run edits using the BOG software. A designated employee in IEA completes the final submission after correction or explanation of the error warnings. Following are the procedural steps taken before submitting the files to BOG:

  • BOG/IRM provides public access to both Data Request Reports (downloadable request documentation and forms) and Due Dates Master Calendar on their website .
  • Data requests are distributed electronically via email by the Florida Board of Governors (BOG) IRM office to the FAU Data Administrator (Institutional Effectiveness & Analysis). Routine (recurring) data requests may only be posted on the BOG Data Requests System (DRS) and Information Requests System (IRS).
  • IEA is responsible for reviewing the BOG DRS/IRS, identifying FAU reporting responsibilities, ensuring that the appropriate Report Respondent has received notification of the data request and providing if needed, any BOG transmitted data and/or spreadsheets.
  • IEA maintains a spreadsheet referred to as the IEA BOG Data Request List & SUDS Data Request Calendar. Each BOG/SUDS data request is assigned a Report Respondent. The spreadsheet is updated on an ongoing basis and is available on the IEA website .
  • The Report Respondent is responsible for the timely and accurate completion of the report. IEA will provide assistance as necessary.
