Title of Collection: Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System
(IPEDS) 2024-25 through 2026-27.
OMB Control Number: 1850-0582.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved ICR.
Respondents/Affected Public: Private Sector.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 65,536.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 636,660.
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. 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. The IPEDS data collection enables the National Center
for Education Statistics (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. In 2022-23, IPEDS collected data from 5,983 Title IV postsecondary
institutions in the United States and the other jurisdictions. 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; approximately 200 non-Title IV institutions elect to respond
each year. Institution closures and mergers have led to a decrease in
the number of institutions in the IPEDS universe over the past few
years. Due to these fluctuations, combined with the addition of new
institutions, NCES uses rounded estimates for the number of
institutions in the respondent burden calculations for the upcoming
years (estimated 6,000 Title IV institutions plus 200 non-title IV
institutions for a total of 6,200 institutions estimated to submit
IPEDS data during the 2024-25 through 2026-27 IPEDS data collections).
IPEDS data are available to the public through the College Navigator
and IPEDS Use the Data websites.
The current clearance covers the 2022-23 through 2024-25
collections and is due to expire on August 31, 2025. We are requesting
to make changes to multiple survey components and other updates to the
identification, cross-cutting terminology, and the glossary. The
largest changes in this package are (1) the addition of a new Cost
(CST) survey component, which combines components taken from the
Student Financial Aid (SFA) and Institutional Characteristics (IC)
components and combines them with added questions to determine how and
make publicly available more information about how postsecondary
institutions ask for information above and beyond the FAFSA; and (2)
the planned elimination of the Academic Libraries (AL) survey beginning
in the 2025-26 administration.
As part of the 30D public comment period review, NCES has added an
Appendix E, containing NCES responses to 60D public comments. Further,
NCES requests that IPEDS data submitters and other stakeholders respond
to the directed questions found in Appendix D of this submission.
