The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (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 the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to report on key
dimensions of postsecondary education such as student enrollment, degrees and other awards earned,
tuition and fees, average net price, student financial aid, graduation rates, revenues and expenditures,
faculty salaries, staff employed, and information on academic libraries. The IPEDS web-based data
collection system was implemented in 2000-01 and collects basic data from approximately 7,300
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 (HEA, P.L. 102-325)). IPEDS allows other
(non-title IV) institutions to participate on a voluntary basis. Approximately 200 institutions elect to
respond. IPEDS data are available to the public through the IPEDS website. IPEDS 2017-18 through
2019-20 annual data collection was approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in
February 2017 with a change request approved in August 2017 (OMB# 1850-0582 v.20-21). This
request is to replace the previous, voluntary question about the time it takes data providers to complete
the IPEDS data collection, which has been used since the 2012-13 IPEDS data collection, with a set of
voluntary questions revised based on cognitive interviews conducted in early 2017. The goal of this
revision is to allow NCES to more reliably estimate IPEDS response burden to participating institutions.
