Paperwork Burden Statement

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 1840-0850. Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 40 hours per response, including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Under the PRA, participants are required to respond to this collection to obtain or retain a benefit. If you have any comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate, suggestions for improving this individual collection, or if you have comments or concerns regarding the status of your individual form, please contact Brian Fu, US. Department of Education, 400 Maryland Avenue, SW, Washington, DC 20202.

1 Institutions that expended all of their HEERF funds in calendar year 2021 may need to finalize their calendar year 2021 reporting in early 2023 if they choose to delay reporting on the questions labeled with an asterisk until the early 2023 reporting timeframe.

2 See https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2021-10196.

3 Include active landing/portal page(s) for quarterly reporting webpage(s). In addition, report any active quarterly reporting webpage(s) not referenced or linked from landing or portal pages including those that were published prior to quarterly reporting guidance (https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ope/heerfquarterlyreport2022.pdf)

4 Net price refers to costs covered by students and their families and is calculated by adding tuition, fees, books, supplies, and living costs and subtracting grant and/or scholarship aid (e.g., Pell grants, school-based grants, merit scholarships).

5 When IPEDS definitions apply (categories labeled with “(IPEDS categories)” in the form), use the same category for each student that is used to report to IPEDS. For the second and third annual HEERF reports (reporting on calendar years 2021 and 2022 in early 2022 and early 2023 respectively), if a student is not reported to IPEDS, for example because they are not enrolled for credit in courses that could lead to an award, then report that student under “Students not categorized in IPEDS.” In the fourth, and fifth annual HEERF reports “Students not categorized in IPEDS” will no longer be an option in the form and institutions will need to track all of their students (regardless of if they would be included in IPEDS enrollment counts) and categorize them using the IPEDS classification methodology.

6 For students in both undergraduate and graduate categories, classify as a graduate student.

7 Students that are not considered undergraduate or graduate students, for example, non-credit students.

15 Based on the Department’s Final Regulations issued on May 14, 2021 (86 FR 26608, available at https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2021-10190), students are not required to be eligible for Title IV student financial aid in order to receive HEERF emergency financial aid grants. Title IV eligibility for this question is based on the number of students for whom the institution has received an Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) plus the number of students who completed any alternative form developed by the institution. In reporting these data, students should be classified as Title IV eligible if they were determined to be Title IV eligible at any point during the reporting period.

16 Institutions should follow IPEDS Fall enrollment guidelines (https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/use-the-data/survey-components/8/fall-enrollment) for when to capture a student’s age. For example, institutions operating on a traditional academic year calendar (semester, trimester, quarter, or 4-1-4) report Fall enrollment as of the institution's official fall reporting date or October 15. Institutions operating on a calendar that differs by program or that enrolls students on a continuous basis (referred to as program reporters) report Fall enrollment as students enrolled any time during the period August 1 and October 31.

Specifically, IHEs that received HEERF (a)(2) grant funds now may expend them on the acquisition of real property, renovations, or construction related to preventing, preparing for, and responding to the coronavirus. Before commencing any renovations, construction, or real property projects supported by HEERF (a)(2) grant funds, grantees must receive approval for the project from the Department.
