Welcome to the Student Affairs Planning, Assessment, Research & Retention (SAPARR) web site. This site has been designed to provide information to NC State University Student Affairs faculty and staff. You will find information on all the areas for which SAPARR is responsible. This includes assessment, planning, program evaluation, and research. In addition, you will find data and decisions made for various units and at the Division level in the Division Data section.

SAPARR has gone through a number of changes over the last four years. One significant change was the addition of planning and retention for the Division to the SAPARR agenda. In addition, the office represents the Division on a number of special initiatives and committess such as the GER Taskforce, University Assessment Committee, Retention Taskforce, and the LITRE Assessment Committee that are related in some way to assessment and planning. Please go to the "Special Intiatives" section of the web site for more information.
