Data at Chico State

Data has taken center stage as a strategic university business asset. Our campus is actively taking steps to streamline services to campus data consumers, and to create the data governance structures necessary to deliver high quality data that are appropriately secured and well positioned to support campus-wide data-driven decision-making.

Chico State has a combination of public/open reports (which do not require login), and internal reporting systems (which require a Chico State login account). Please see instructions below for each.

Public/Open Data & Reports

These reports are publicly available and do not require a Chico State account.
