STUDIES & REPORTS

The Board generates numerous studies and reports derived from data collected throughout the year from the community colleges, adult education providers, and other service providers. These reports and studies are used by the Board to support policy decisions, to illuminate critical issues of importance to the system, and to meet statutory requirements.

Reports and studies may be generated on a regular cycle or on an ad hoc basis at the request of the ICCB Board, the Board of Higher Education, the Governor's Office, or the Illinois Legislature. Studies or reports that pertain to budget and fiscal matters or grant programs may be found in the appropriate section elsewhere on this website.

The majority of the documents are in the PDF format which requires the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
