Academic Data Reference Book

The Academic Data Reference Book (ADRB), AU's fact book, is published annually by the Office of Institutional Research & Assessment. Its goal is to provide the university community with reliable and useful information and is comprised of six sections: student enrollment, incoming degree students, retention and graduation, degrees conferred, course enrollment, and faculty and staff. Select fall tables are prepared and published in November-December, and then the full edition is published every spring in March-April.
