Abstract: The National Center for
Education Statistics (NCES) seeks
authorization from OMB to make a
change to the Integrated Postsecondary
Education Data System (IPEDS) data
collection. Current authorization expires
08/31/2019 (OMB #1850–0582). NCES is
requesting a new clearance for the
2017–18, 2018–19, and 2019–20 data
collections to enable us to make a
change to two of the IPEDS data
collection components and to continue
the IPEDS collection of postsecondary
data over the next 3 years. 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 NCES to report on key
dimensions of postsecondary education
such as enrollments, degrees and other
awards earned, tuition and fees, average
net price, student financial aid,
graduation rates, student outcomes,
revenues and expenditures, faculty
salaries, and staff employed. The IPEDS
web-based data collection system was
implemented in 2000–01, and it collects
basic data from approximately 7,500
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 [Pub. L.
102–325]). IPEDS allows other (non-title
IV) institutions to participate on a
voluntary basis. About 200 elect to
respond. IPEDS data are available to the
public through the College Navigator
and IPEDS Data Center Web sites. This
clearance package includes a number of
proposed changes to the data collection.
