Agenda Data Collection Reminders 2012-13 Data Collection Looking Beyond 2012-13 DFR and Data Tools Update IPEDS R&D Update: CMSS; TRP; NPEC; and Data Integration IPEDS Staff and Contact Info
IPEDS Reporting Compliance • Mandatory IPEDS reporting for Title IV institutions • Timely and accurate • ED relies on institutions to report accurately, and nearly all do • Institutions sometimes identify misreporting and work with ED to correct data through Prior Year Revision (PYR) System • Revised data now in the Data Center (more later…) • ED is concerned about instances of intentional and significant misreporting • FSA may take administrative action
Report Mapping – Registration/Fall Period • Why? IPEDS data integration project with FSA databases • What? To describe IPEDS reporting in terms of locations appearing on institution’s Title IV Program Participation Agreement (PPA) • IPEDS Reporting Maps • Last year, keyholders submitted reporting maps for their institution(s) • This year, keyholders are doing reporting maps again • PLAN: Starting next year, keyholders will verify mapping each year and only have to account for new locations on PPAs
Report Mapping Lessons Learned • Not all PPAs are up-to-date • Keyholders may not be aware of current PPA data • Keyholders may need to work with campus financial aid office • Interest exists for both less, and more, consolidation in reporting relationships
AIR/IPEDS Web Tutorials • SHORT data submission tutorials based on key concepts needed for data reporting, rather than step-by-step. Available from: • Survey screens • Data Collection System Helpmenu • Data Provider Center • IPEDS website, Training & Outreach • AIR website
Listserv • IPEDS listserv • >1,800 KHs and other interested individuals • Lively discussions • Thanks to those who chime in with answers • Sign up available from Data Provider Center
Prior Year Revision System • Components will be open for revision during their regular data collection period • Example: Revisions to the Student Financial Aid (SFA) component will need to be made during the winter collection period. • Data for the College Affordability and Transparency Center are pulled from the Prior Year Revision System
Origins of 2012-13 Changes • Technical Review Panel (TRP) • Collecting Data on Distance Ed, 4/08 • Institutional Characteristics, Completions, Fall Enrollment • Improvements to Completions, 12/09 • Improvements to Human Resources, 6/10 • 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) • NCES • Institutional Characteristics, Student Financial Aid
IC/SFA • IC in Fall • Collect cost data for 2012-13 only • Display cost data for 2011-12, 2010-11, 2009-10 • Use PYR to revise 2011-12, 2010-11, 2009-10, 2008-09 • SFA in Winter • Collect fin aid data for 2011-12 only • Display fin aid data for 2010-11, 2009-10 • Use PYR to revise 2010-11, 2009-10, 2008-09 • CATC 2013 Net Price • All data from 2011-12 PYR: 2010-11, 2009-10, 2008-09
Fall Enrollment • Distance Education • Add new screens to collect data on the # of students enrolled in any distance ed courses and the # enrolled exclusively in distance ed courses • Break out by level (undergraduate, graduate) Distance education course: A course in in which the instructional content is delivered exclusively via distance education. Note: Requirements for coming to campus for orientation, testing, or academic support services do not exclude a course from being classified as distance education.
Fall Enrollment • For students enrolled exclusively in distance edcourses: • Break out by student location • In same state/jurisdictionas institution • In US but not in same state/jurisdiction • In US but state/jurisdiction unknown • Outside US
HR and 2010 SOC • Changes to occupational categories on IPEDS Human Resources component to align with 2010 Standard Occupational Classification System • Institutions need to be ready to report in 2012-13 using the new categories • Each job at institution needs to be categorized according to 2010 SOC

HR Concerns • Issues commonly being raised with the Help Desk: • Unfamiliar with the survey– uncertain how to proceed. • Suggestion: Review the survey form, and read the instructions thoroughly. • Uncertain how to categorize staff and/or uncertain how to use the SOC codes, e.g., Institutional Researcher. • Suggestion: Become familiar with 2010 SOC codes and how they relate to IPEDS categories. • Suggestion: Use the SOC Browse tool to locate SOC codes. Use the CUPA descriptions and other resources available under the HR/SOC Information Center.
