  • Select option #5 if the participant was not a first-year graduate student in this reporting period.

  • If you selected option 1, 2, or 3, you must always update this field in subsequent reporting periods. Graduate education is defined as “studies beyond the bachelor's degree leading to a postbaccalaureate degree.”

NOTE on fields 40 – 47 only: These fields reference students’ status during the academic year being reported (2018-19).

Current Year of Graduate Study

(during academic year reported)

YRGradStudy

Participant’s current year of graduate study is:

1 = 1st yr. graduate/professional including those who received program services as an undergraduate during the reporting year

2 = 2nd yr. graduate/professional

3 = 3rd yr. graduate/professional

4 = Beyond 3rd yr. graduate/professional program

5 = Other

98 = Participant was previously recorded as a 1st yr. graduate/professional student incorrectly

99 = Not enrolled in a graduate degree program during the academic year being reported including all undergraduate students who are not enrolled in graduate school in this reporting period

0 = Unknown


NOTES:

  • Select option 1 if the participant is a “1st year graduate/professional” in this reporting period.

  • If you select option 1, please ensure that the date in field 36 (Date of First Graduate School Enrollment) is within the 2018-19 academic year.

  • For the purposes of reporting the date of first graduate school enrollment, the academic year is generally between August 1 and July 31 of the next academic year.

  • If the participant is a new entrant in a doctorate program, do not select option 1; rather, count the years in graduate school including the years in a master’s program and select the appropriate option.

  • For the purposes of APR reporting, a participant can only be a “1st year graduate/professional” once; therefore, you should update this field annually. For example, if the participant was a first-year graduate in 2017-18, then you must update this field to something other than “1st year graduate/professional.”

  • A participant cannot revert to an earlier graduate level. A participant’s year of graduate study should increase by one if they enrolled in the reporting period.

  • Select option 98 if in a previous APR the participant was incorrectly listed as having already entered a graduate program. A participant cannot be reported as a 1st yr. graduate/professional student in more than one APR reporting period. For example, if the student was reported as a first-year graduate student in 2017-18, but it has since been determined that he/she is a first-year graduate student in 2018-19, then select option 98.

41

Graduate Student’s Main Field of Study (at time of entry)

GradStudField

Graduate student’s main field of study at time of entry into graduate school is:




001 = Not applicable, participant did not (has not) enroll in graduate school

000 = Unknown


NOTE: Using the Main Field of Study List provided in the instructions, enter the three-digit code for the main field of study at the time the participant entered graduate school. Enter “001” for participants who have not earned a bachelor’s degree or earned a bachelor’s degree but did not enroll in graduate school. Enter “989” for participants who enrolled in medical school. Enter “250” for participants who enrolled in veterinary school. For students who are no longer enrolled in graduate school or for students who completed their graduate studies, the project should provide, to the extent possible, the main field of study at the time the participant first entered graduate school. However, if you do not know the participant’s main field of study at time of entry into graduate school, enter “000.” Once you report the main field of study, you should not update it in subsequent reporting periods.

42

99 = Not applicable, completed doctoral degree program

0 = Unknown


NOTE: Select option 10 if the participant left graduate school because they needed to complete program requirements such as a requirement for doctorate program admission, gain work experience, etc. Once you report a reason the participant left graduate school, only update the field if in a subsequent reporting period the participant re-enrolls in graduate school; otherwise, do not update this field in subsequent reporting periods.

44

Highest Graduate Degree Earned

(by the end of the academic year)

HiGradDegreeCD

Participant’s highest graduate degree earned to date, by the end of the academic year is:

1 = Master’s Degree

2 = Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)

For a list of research doctoral degrees recognized by the National Science Foundation, please go to: https://ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsf19301/assets/technical-notes/tables/sed17-sr-taba001.pdf. If you are not certain about whether the doctorate is research-based, please contact the institution where the doctorate was granted (e.g., Dean of Graduate Studies).


Select option 99 if the participant has not earned a graduate degree, including participants who have earned a bachelor’s degree only. Also, select option 99 if the participant has not earned any degree.


If a participant for whom you are required to provide information earned a professional degree and subsequently earned a research-intensive doctorate degree, select the type of research doctorate earned. Once the research-intensive doctorate degree has been provided (i.e., option 2, 3, or 4), do not change the response in subsequent reporting periods.

99/99/9999 = No graduate degree earned

00/00/0000 = Unknown


NOTE: Repeat the same date until a more advanced degree is earned. If you do not know the exact date, use 15 for the day and use your best estimate for the month. If no graduate degree has been earned including those who have earned a bachelor’s degree only, enter 99/99/9999. Once the research-intensive doctorate degree date has been provided (i.e., option 2, 3, or 4); do not change the date in subsequent reporting periods.

You can obtain the NCES IPEDS ID from the following web site: http://nces.ed.gov/globallocator/. If you selected option 1 or 6 in field 44, enter “999999.” If the student earned a doctorate and you do not know the institution where the doctorate was earned or the participant earned a doctorate from an institution not listed in IPEDS (includes international institution), enter “000000.” Once you report the NCES IPEDS ID, you should not have to update it in subsequent reporting periods.
