Common Data Set

Every year, Institutional Research receives dozens of requests for data to be used in college surveys and guides. This includes U.S. News rankings, Princeton Review, College Board guides, Wintergreen Orchard House, and many more. All these requests take time and resources to complete and so the Common Data Set (CDS) was created in an effort to alleviate pressure and provide increased consistency in reporting.

The result has been a very broad and expansive set of data that has uses beyond college surveys and guides. Many questions about institutional data can be answered through this document. As such, Institutional Research is committed to making this document readily available to all constituents.

The CDS is comprised of 10 sections, each covering a different topic (see below). Additionally, the CDS contains a list of definitions used to complete the survey. These are critical as they may differ slightly from definitions used by the University System of Georgia, the federal government, and our own institutional preferences. Still, the CDS is full of valuable information.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
