PREFACE
Institutional data collection, analysis, and communication are critical for the well being of all institutions of higher education. With this concept in mind, Fort Valley State University’s Office of Institutional Research views this publication as a valuable resource for all areas of the institution and the larger community of which it is a part. The primary sources of data in this guide are the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, the Common Data Set, University of Georgia Board of Regent’s statistical reports and reports produced for federal and state governments. When such data was not available, other institutional records were used.
“ No student ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him: it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required, that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction .” Charles Kendall Adams
