  10. Reporting Status Summary

  11. Migration Migrated to date: EF = ~76% F = ~65% GRS = ~62% SFA = ~62%

  12. Preliminary Response Rates Early estimates, prior to cleaning up parents/children, partials: EF = ~97.5% F = ~95.2% GRS = ~96.7% SFA = ~96.7%

  13. How did we do???

  14. Server problem • Spring collection was extended 4 days due to server time-outs • At times in the last 2 days, there were 700+ concurrent IPEDS users • A small amount of traffic from other NCES surveys • We would really prefer NOT to implement staggered due dates, but…

  15. System problems • A few global edits did not run, so institutions were able to lock with errors • Finance – caught during collection • Fall Staff – discovered after migration • A few edits did not work properly when the collection opened, but were fixed • Special queries were done to identify cases affected

  16. Survey/system design problems • Completions – some institutions with no preloaded CIP codes had problems getting started with data entry • IC – Student Charges Pt D was not edited enough, causing inconsistencies among item inter-relationships, e.g., room/board

  17. Survey/system design problems • EAP/SA/S – problems surfaced with almost all SQs for these 3 surveys • Winter, Spring – problems arose with SQs that had been answered in the Fall collection and needed to be changed

  18. Report from the Help Desk

  39. Tips for Coordinators

  40. Coordination Tree Updates • The Coordination Tree is the term we use to describe • who has • what kind of access to • which institutions.

  41. Coordination Tree Updates • Coordinators should review their institution group and access to institutional data. • State coordinators have access to State List of Institutions not Coordinated by Your Office, under the Reports menu. • Updates can be made at any time during the collection periods, but this is a good time to make changes that will be reflected in your coordination plan for all 3 collections next year.

  42. Coordination Tree Updates • You will soon receive an email asking for updates. • Please email ipedshelp@rti.org with any updates that you wish to be made.

  43. Keyholder Changes • Keyholder changes can be made by the Help Desk or NCES until June 1 so that UserIDs and passwords can be emailed to newly appointed keyholders in July.

  44. File Upload • Uploading a data file is an alternative method of reporting besides manually inputting your data into the data collection system

  45. File Upload • There are predetermined layouts for each survey • fixed-length text file • comma-delimited file • Both types are offered for all surveys

  46. File Upload • The record layouts are available in the data collection system, as well as on the IPEDS web site • http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/web2000/importsp.asp • The layouts may change based on revisions to the survey forms.

  47. File Upload • 2003-04 schedule • Import specifications for all three data collections will be available by July 30, 2003

  48. File Upload Help us test File Upload • send us your files and we will test them for you • helps make sure that you are using the right format, as well ensure that our programs are working correctly
