The Integ€ted Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) ;s a weFbased data colleciion syslern
designed to collect basic data from all postsecondary institutions in the United States and the other
iurisdictions. IPEDS enables NCES to report on key dimensions of poslsecondafy education such as
enrcllmenls, degrees anct other awards eamed, tuition and fees, average net price, student financial
aid, gradualion rates, revenues and expenditures, faculty salades, and staff employed The IPEDS
web-based data colleclion system was implemented in 2000-01 and collects basic data from
apprcximately 7,000 postsecondary institutions in the Uniied Slates and the otheriurisdiclions thal are
eligible to participate in Title lV Federalfinancial aid programs. All Title lV institutions €fe requifed to
respond 10 IPEDS (Section 490 of ihe Highef Education Amendments of 1992 (P.L. '102-325) JPEDS
al'ows other (non-title lV) institutions to participate on a voluntary basis. About 200 elect to respond.
IPEDS data are available io the public through the College Navigator and IPEDS Data Center
websiies. This request is to make modiflcations for the 2013-14 IPEDS collection cycle in an effoft to
increase the timeliness of the rclease of gladuation rates data and increase the acoufacy of the
calculation of average institutional net pdce. Speclfically, this requesi is to move graduation rates and
200olo graduation rates components frcm spdng collection to winter collection, and move the
opportunity to aevise pfior year of cost of attendance data to the student financial aid component in the
winter collection. The proposed revisions do not change the approved estimated burden for the 2013I4 data collection (OtulB# 1850-0582 v.11)
