The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is a web-based data collection system designed to collect basic data
from all postsecondary institutions in the United States and the other jurisdictions. IPEDS enables the National Center for Education
Statistics (NCES) to report on key dimensions of postsecondary education such as student enrollment, degrees and other awards
earned, tuition and fees, average net price, student financial aid, graduation rates, revenues and expenditures, faculty salaries, staff
employed, and information on academic libraries. The IPEDS web-based data collection system was implemented in 2000-01 and
collects basic data from approximately 6,600 postsecondary institutions in the United States and the other jurisdictions that are eligible
to participate in Title IV Federal financial aid programs. All Title IV institutions are required to respond to IPEDS (Section 490 of the
Higher Education Amendments of 1992 (HEA, P.L. 102-325)). IPEDS allows other (non-title IV) institutions to participate on a voluntary
basis. Approximately 200 institutions elect to respond. IPEDS data are available to the public through the IPEDS website.
IPEDS 2022-23 through 2024-25 annual data collection was approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in August 2022
(OMB# 1850-0582 v.30). Changes were approved in August 2023 for the 2023-24 data collection (OMB# 1850-0582 v.31).
This request is to revise IPEDS data collection materials to revert some of the changes made to the directions for the 2023-24 data
collection in OMB# 1850-0582 v.31. NCES regularly receives feedback from the IPEDS reporting community on areas that require
clarification. The Summer 2023 Change request made changes to the following IPEDS survey components: Completions, 12-month
Enrollment, Admissions, Outcome Measures, Fall Enrollment, Finance, Human Resources, Graduation Rates, Institutional
Characteristics, and Student Financial Aid. While most clarifications provided greater detail to help institutions better understand what
needed to be reported, some changes based on the FAFSA Simplification Act to the instructions for the Institutional Characteristics
survey component, as well as some changes made to the Student Financial Aid survey component related to cross-over periods and
award years, created confusion for data providers. NCES would like to roll back those changes to the directions to those two survey
components, and to notify the reporting community of these changes through an additional communication, now added to Appendix B.
This request does not introduce any changes to respondent burden or the cost to the federal government.
