Changes for 2007-08


Enrollment

• 12-month Unduplicated Count and Instructional Activity (old Parts E & F) • Reported in Fall 2007 on E12

• Part G, Retention Rates• Rather than collect only the rates for full-

time and part-time students, collect the numerator and denominator and have the system calculate the rates

• Mandatory in 2007-08


Graduation Rates

• Sections V and VI, athletically related student aid• Eliminate these sections from IPEDS

GRS• Institutions will no longer be required

to report these data to IPEDS, but will still be required to disclose these data, per SRK

• Add item to report URL used for disclosure


Proposed Changes for 2008-09 and beyond


Proposed changes

• Proposed changes submitted to OMB

• Posted on IPEDS website in Newsroom http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/

• Federal register notice 1/30• Comments to OMB by 3/31/08• 2nd comment period will follow


Proposed changes

1. Collect more detailed student financial aid data

2. Eliminate first-professional degree category

3. Revise Finance data collected for both GASB and FASB institutions

4. Introduce phased implementation of new R/E reporting categories


Collect more SFA data


SFA

• Changes would:• Distinguish between Pell and

other fed grants• Distinguish between Federal

loans and other loans• Data would be displayed on

College Navigator


Why collect these?

• So OPE can see how students at different institutions are using particular fed grant programs

• Substantial expansion of private loans

• To address recommendations made by Secty’s Commission on Future of Higher Ed • financial transparency • more information on college costs to

consumers

First-professional degree classification


First-professional

• Due to changes in graduate education, first-professional category is outmoded

• Increasingly important to distinguish research-focused doctor’s degrees from professionally focused doctor’s degrees


First-professional

• Based on suggestions from the IPEDS TRP and comments from additional members of the higher education community

• First-professional and Doctor’s degree categories to be revised


Current Award Categories

Proposed New Award Categories

First-professional degree

Eliminated

Doctor’s degree 1. Doctor’s degree –research/scholarship

2. Doctor’s degree –professional practice

3. Doctor’s degree - other

Post-master’s certificate;

First-professional certificate (post-degree)

Post-master’s certificate

(combines current post-master’s and first-professional certificates into one category)


Doctor’s degree –research/scholarship

• A PhD or other Doctor’s degree • Requires advanced work beyond

the master’s level including a dissertation or an original project

• Some examples: EdD, DMA, DBA, DSc, DA, or DM, or others, as designated by the awarding institution

practice

• 2008-09 optional• 2009-10 mandatory

• C, E12• 2009-10 optional• 2010-11 mandatory


Revise IPEDS Finance


Proposed Finance changes

• Purpose: To increase commonality and comparability of finance data collected

• TRP held Jan 17-18, 2007• Suggested forms be modified &

some data elements be redefined• Resulting data would have greater

usefulness and improve financial transparency of the institutional finance data being reported


Proposed Finance changes

• Full details of proposed changes for FASB and GASB forms are available at IPEDS website, click on Newsroom

• http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/• No changes to IPEDS Finance

form for for-profit institutions at this time


Race/ethnicity!!!


• Final guidance on Maintaining, Collecting, and Reporting Racial and Ethnic Data to the U.S. Department of Education

• Published in Federal Register 10/19/07• For implementing 1997 OMB standards• http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/24

22/01jan20071800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2007/pdf/E7-20613.pdf

Race/ethnicity


Guidance

• Notice posted on website• http://nces.ed.gov/IPEDS/news_room/• Newsroom, Announcements & Alerts

• Additional guidance from Dept of ED in 4-6 wks• Samples of 2-format question• Nonresponses• Record retention


Final guidance

• Calls for implementation by Fall 2010, in order to report data for the 2010-11 academic year

• Encourages institutions already collecting R/E in new format to begin reporting immediately• For IPEDS, immediately means 2008-

09 collection


Final guidance

• Covers 2 separate issues:• Collection of R/E data by

institutions• Reporting of aggregate data

to US Dept of ED


Collection by institutions

• Two-question format REQUIRED:1. Is respondent Hispanic/Latino? Y/N2. Respondent selects one or more races:

• American Indian or Alaska Native• Asian• Black or African American• Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific

Islander• White


2-question format

• One example is available at http://nces.ed.gov/statprog/2002/std1_5.asp

• Ethnicity question must come first

• Race selection question must read “one or more” instead of “all that apply”


Additionally…

• Standards call for self-identification of race/ethnicity

• Dept of ED encourages institutions to allow current students and staff to re-identify their race and ethnicity


Reporting aggregate data – 9 categories

1. Nonresident aliens2. Race/ethnicity unknown

3. Hispanics of any race

For non-Hispanics only:4. American Indian or Alaska Native5. Asian6. Black or African American7. Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander8. White9. 2 or more races


R/E Technical Review Panel

• IPEDS R/E TRP in fall 2006 to discuss implementation issues, such as:• If students are no longer at the

institution, how to report? (C, E12, GRS)

• If data are collected in 2 formats for several years, how to release?


Proposed implementation

• 2008-09 and 2009-10• Optional years

• 2010-11• Mandatory year for EF, HR• 3rd optional year for C, E12, GRS

• 2011-12• Mandatory for all components


5+7+2 format

• Will be used in data collection system in optional years

5 = current categories 7 = new categories2 = Nonresident alien, R/E unknown

• Institutions have option to report • All individuals using current categories• All individuals using new categories• Mixed reporting

• Anticipate that few institutions will choose this method = most complex


Proposed timeline

Followup

• Unfortunately, it takes a lot of work to make these low numbers happen

• We are doing a lot of followup, during and after collections

• Institutions have only one opportunity for special post-collection help


However,

• We now send email/letter thanking CEO of institutions that lock ALL surveys by 4 wks before close of each collection

• Letters refer to KH by name so CEO knows who was responsible for this good thing
