    Abstract: The 2012/17 Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal 
Study (BPS:12/17) is conducted by the National Center for Education 
Statistics (NCES), within the U.S. Department of Education (ED). BPS is

data on students' persistence in and completion of postsecondary 
education programs; their transition to employment; demographic

leave school. This request is to conduct the BPS:12/17 full-scale data 
collection, including a student interview, file matching to various 
administrative data sources, and collection of corresponding 
postsecondary education transcripts and student records.
