Integrated Planning and Accountability
Integrated Planning and Accountability (formerly Institutional Research) gathers and analyzes data for use in institution and system-wide policy formation, strategic planning, decision making, assessment, and accountability activities. We provide business intelligence analytics, data, and research to support the Langara community in a wide variety of areas, including executive decision making, enrolment management, academic planning and review, and student success and engagement.
This office assists in the maintenance of clean and usable data for the internal community and is responsible for the quality of data shared with the Ministry of Post Secondary Education and Future Skills and other external agencies through the British Columbia Central Data Warehouse. We work with external and governmental agencies on research and data-sharing projects that track student success through the B.C. educational system and beyond.
Major Projects
Accountability Plan and Report
The Langara College Accountability Plan and Report provides a medium for Langara to communicate our current and future goals and to report on our progress toward internal targets and Ministry of Post Secondary Education and Future Skills performance measures. The Accountability Plan and Report is produced annually.
Environmental Scan
The Environmental Scan 2019 considers the demographic and economic context, government priorities, and trends in post-secondary education that might relate to Langara’s mission as Canada’s pathways college. There are three parts in the Environmental Scan 2019: the first discusses broader trends in the Vancouver area and British Columbia as a whole; the second discusses trends specific to Langara and other post-secondary institutions in the province; and the third discusses Langara’s internal enrolment trends and ongoing initiatives.
