Abstract: Integrated Postsecondary 

Education Data System (IPEDS) is a 

system of surveys designed to collect 

basic data from approximately 7,000 

Title IV postsecondary institutions in 

the United States and other 

jurisdictions. The IPEDS provides 

information on numbers of students 

enrolled, degrees completed, other 

awards earned, dollars expended, staff 

employed at postsecondary institutions, 

and cost and pricing information. The 

amendments to the Higher Education 

Act of 1998, Part C, Sec. 131, specify the 

need for the ‘‘redesign of relevant data 

systems to improve the usefulness and 

timeliness of the data collected by such 

systems.’’ As a consequence, in 2000 

IPEDS began to collect data through a 

Web-based data collection system. The 

data collection is now entirely Webbased, and is required for those 

institutions participating in Title IV 

Federal student aid programs; other 

institutions participate on a voluntary 

basis. IPEDS data are available to the 

public through the College Navigator 

and IPEDS Data Center Web sites. This 

clearance package seeks authorization 

from OMB to continue IPEDS data 

collection through 2014, describes 

revisions to the currently approved 

(2010–11) IPEDS burden estimates, and 

includes a number of proposed changes 

to the data collection.
