DataNet was developed by the Office of Institutional Analysis and Planning to extend its capacity to provide management information to UNLV administrators and faculty. With support from the leadership of such campus areas as Administration, Student Enrollment & Financial Services, Student Life, and Information Technology, this project was initially sponsored as part of the 2002-03 UNLV Planning Initiative Awards.

Building DataNet entailed the creation of a data warehouse populated with student census information and the development of applications that make the data directly accessible to campus users via a secure, user-friendly website. The Student Information System (SIS) remains the official data repository for UNLV student information.

To learn more about DataNet, read the Questions and Answers handout and/or the 2002-03 Planning Initiative Award Final Report.

How to Request Access

To request access to DataNet, send an email to iapunlv.edu with the following information:

• Your name, title and department
• Your email address and phone
• The name and email address of your supervising dean or director
• A brief explanation of how you intend to use DataNet

After we receive your information, we will initiate the electronic approval process* at which time we will email you a form with further instructions. Once you complete the form, it will be automatically routed to OIAP, to your supervising dean/director, and then to the registrar for approval. After approval, you will participate in a mandatory training session that covers user responsibilities and hands-on training with the application. The training costs $25, payable via an IDR to Institutional Analysis and Planning.

*The electronic approval process requires that both you and your supervising dean/director have Lotus Notes accounts that you access with the Notes client software. If either of you does not use Lotus Notes, paper forms will be made available.
