Abstract: The National Center for Education Statistic (NCES) is requesting an amendment to its three-year clearance for the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) to run for the 2008-09,2009-10, and 2010-2011 web-based collections. Current authorization for IPEDS expires July 31, 2011 (OMB No.1850-0582). The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA), which became law on August 14, 2008, after OMB had already granted IPEDS a three-year clearance, has several implications for the IPEDS annual web-based data collection. The law requires the immediate implementation of several new institutional reporting requirements so that the data may be made avaialbale on the College Navigator website by August 2009. A change memo was sent to OMB on August 19, 2008, that included a small number of non-substantive changes to the 2008-09 data collection based on the new requirements; OMB provided clearance for those changes in a notice on August 26, 2008. NCES now request in this document a limited number of additional substantive changes to spring cycle of the 2008-09 IPEDS web-based data collection, which opens on March 4, 2009, in order to implement HEOA requirements. These changes are to:(1) make previously approved changes to financial aid reporting required, rather than optional, in spring 2009; (2)collect additional financial aid data; (3)collect data on students with disabilities; and (4)collect additional graduation rate data.
