Terms of Clearance:
Approved consistent with ED's memo to OMB of 6/23/98 and 7/7/98. In addition, ED agrees to the following terms: 1) In the next submission of this paperwork (or by academic year 2001 - 2002), ED will require respondent to report based on the new race/ethnicity categories (as they appear in the 10/30/97 federal register); 2) In that some respondents will have the capability to report on the new categories prior to academic year 2001 - 2002, ED will provide respondents with sufficient guidance (e.g., written instructions or alternative reporting formats), so that respondents will have the option to report on the new categories prior to academic year 2001 - 2002; 3) In order to both maximize utility of the forms and reduce burden on respondents and because such information is accessible from alternative sources, ED will, in time for the academic year 1999 - 2000, remove all questions from IPEDS forms that ask for information on Congressional Districts.

Abstract:
IPEDS constitutes the core of NCES' postsecondary education data collection program and helps NCES meet its mandate to report full and complete statistics on the condition of postsecondary education in the U.S. IPEDS provides data on a broad range of topics including postsecondary enrollments, faculty and staff, programs, degrees awarded, number and types of institutions, finances, and information on time to degree/graduation rates. Because IPEDS is a system of surveys, it makes it possible to develop a more comprehensive perspective of postsecondary education than any single component could provide.
