The Office of Institutional Research and Analysis (IRA) prepares the McMaster Postsecondary Financial Information System (PFIS) – University Statistical Enrolment Report (USER), enrolment audit reports, and other government compliance reports. McMaster is required to report student-level enrolment/statistical and graduation data to the Ministry of Colleges and Universities (MCU) as a condition of its receipt of operating grant funding. IRA provides the enrolment, graduation, and other data to MCU, and it prepares tuition compliance, tuition set-aside, and credit transfer reports among other reports.
