### 2012-13 HR: Degree-granting Institutions and Related Administrative Offices that have 15 or more full-time staff



## Instructions for the 2012-13

Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS)

Human Resources (HR) Component Applicable to Degree-granting Institutions and Related Administrative Offices that have 15 or more full-time staff

UPDATED – 10/31/12: The previous titles of “ Non-postsecondary Teaching Occupations” and “Graduate Assistants - Library and Non-postsecondary Teaching” were changed to "Other Teaching and Instructional Support Occupations” and “Graduate Assistants – Library and Instructional Support,” respectively for clarity. Also, a "NOTE" about staff on sabbatical leave and staff who are on leave was added to the Salaries section of the IPEDS HR instructions for clarity; however, the same instruction was included in prior years of the IPEDS HR instructions. [The data entry screen that includes the screening question on salaries was revised for clarity to indicate the reporting of data for Part G, full-time non-instructional staff, will still be required even if the answers to the “instructional staff” screening questions are No.]

## Purpose of Component The primary purpose of the Human Resources (HR) component that is applicable to degree-granting institutions and related administrative offices that have 15 or more full-time staff is to collect the number of staff by employment status (full time and part time), occupational category, and for some staff by tenure status, contract length, and academic rank. Salary data on full-time staff are also collected in addition to data on newly hired full-time permanent staff. Data are also collected by medical school status for 4-year and above degree-granting institutions. In odd-numbered years (e.g., 2011-12) such as last year, the purpose was also to collect data by race/ethnicity and gender. The reporting of data by race/ethnicity and gender is optional in even-numbered years such as this year (2012-13).



## Changes in Reporting

• New occupational categories replaced the primary function/occupational activity categories previously used in the IPEDS HR component. The change was required to align the IPEDS HR categories with the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) System. Detailed information on the IPEDS HR component and how it relates to the 2010 SOC system is listed below in the section called, "Reporting Staff by Occupational Category ." Additional information on the IPEDS HR component and the SOC system can be found at the IPEDS Human Resources/SOC Information Center at http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/resource/soc.asp.

• The professional and non-professional terminology is no longer used.

• A screening question has been added that asks if an institution has graduate assistants.

• A screening question has been added that asks if an institution has a tenure system.

• The following categories were added to collect data on not on tenure track staff:

• Multi-year contract

• Annual contract

• Less-than-annual contract

• Data are now collected by the new category of "Postsecondary Teachers."

• The Postsecondary Teachers category by the "Instruction" (only) function is collected by the following categories:

• Exclusively credit

• Exclusively not-for-credit

• Combination credit/not-for-credit

• Graduate assistants are reported separately by the following categories: Teaching; Research; Management; Business and Financial Operations; Computer, Engineering, and Science; Community Service, Legal, Arts, and Media; Library and Instructional Support ; and Healthcare Practitioners and Technical. [NOTE: The previous graduate assistant category called, "Library and Non-postsecondary Teaching" was changed to the current graduate assistant category called "Library and Instructional Support" for clarity on 10/31/12.]

• A salary worksheet was added to collect the number of full-time, non-medical, instructional staff separately by gender and academic rank for the following contracts: 9-month contract, 10-month contract, 11-month contract, and 12-month contract. Salary outlays of full-time, non-medical, instructional staff are also collected by gender and academic rank. A column was added to the survey after the salary outlays column to collect the number of months covered by the salary outlays. (This number will be used to calculate a weighted monthly average salary.) 

### To assist data reporters in determining the number of hours covered, a worksheet is provided in the data collection system that collects the number of staff on 9-month contracts, 10-month contracts, 11-month contracts, and 12-month contracts, by gender and academic rank. For each gender and academic rank category, the system would then calculate: (1) the total number of staff reported (i.e., the sum of the values entered for each contract length), and (2) the total number of months covered (i.e., the sum of the staff reported for each contract length multiplied by the number of months in the contract). Salary outlays are also collected for full-time, non-medical, non-instructional staff by occupational category on a separate screen. (The number of full-time, non-medical, non-instructional staff by occupational category is carried forward from Part A.) These totals are not disaggregated by race/ethnicity and gender.Image description. Top of Page End of image description.

## Detailed Instructions

NOTE: You must enter data on each displayed screen. If a displayed screen is not applicable to your institution, you must enter at least one zero in a field on that screen.

Screening Questions Please read and answer the screening questions in the data collection system very carefully. (These questions must be answered before providing detailed data.) Responses to the screening questions will determine which parts must be completed.



### Reporting Persons by Racial/Ethnic Category Reporting Persons by Racial/Ethnic Category (1997 OMB) This information is being collected in compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and Sec. 421(a)(1) of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act. These instructions correspond with the Final Guidance on Maintaining, Collecting, and Reporting Racial and Ethnic Data to the U.S. Department of Education, published in the Federal Register on October 19, 2007.

Method of collection - Institutions must collect race and ethnicity information using a 2-question format. The first question is whether the respondent is Hispanic/Latino. The second question is whether the respondent is from one or more races from the following list: American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and White. Institutions should allow students and staff to self-identify their race and ethnicity. For further details on the guidance for collecting data, please see the full Federal Register notice. Method of reporting aggregate data - Institutions must report aggregate data to the U.S. Department of Education using the NINE categories below. Racial/ethnic designations are requested only for United States citizens, resident aliens, and other eligible non-citizens.

• Hispanic or Latino, regardless of race For Non-Hispanic/Latino individuals:

• American Indian or Alaska Native

• Asian

• Black or African American

• Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander

• White

• Two or more races In addition, the following categories may be used:

• Nonresident alien

• Race and ethnicity unknownImage description. Top of Page End of image description. 

### Racial/ethnic descriptions - Racial/ethnic designations as used in this survey do not denote scientific definitions of anthropological origins. The categories are:

• Hispanic or Latino- A person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.

• American Indian or Alaska Native- A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America) who maintains cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community attachment.

• Asian- A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian Subcontinent, including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam.

• Black or African American- A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa.

• Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander- A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands.

• White - A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. Other descriptive categories

• Nonresident alien - A person who is not a citizen or national of the United States and who is in this country on a visa or temporary basis and does not have the right to remain indefinitely. NOTE - Nonresident aliens are to be reported separately, in the boxes provided, rather than included in any ofthe seven racial/ethnic categories. Resident aliens and other eligible (for financial aid purposes) noncitizens who are not citizens or nationals of the United States and who have been admitted as legal immigrants for the purpose of obtaining permanent resident alien status (and who hold either an alienregistration card (Form I-551 or I-151), a Temporary Resident Card (Form I-688), or an ArrivalDeparture Record (Form I-94) with a notation that conveys legal immigrant status such as Section 207 Refugee, Section 208 Asylee, Conditional Entrant Parolee or Cuban-Haitian) are to be reported in the appropriate racial/ethnic categories along with United States citizens.

• Race and ethnicity unknown - This category is used only if the person did not select EITHER a racial or ethnic designation.



### Reporting Staff by Occupational Category The occupational categories in the IPEDS HR component were changed to become aligned with the occupational categories in the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) System. The SOC Classification Principles and Coding Guidelines were also revised in 2010. Listed below is an example of one change to the Classification Principles; however, please refer to the complete list of Classification Principles and Coding Guidelines below. Example of SOC Classification Principle: Old: Occupations are classified based on work performed and on required skills, education, training, and credentials. New: Occupations are classified based on work performed and, in some cases, on the skills, education, and/or training needed to perform the work at a competent level."



## 2010 SOC Classification Principles
The SOC Classification Principles form the basis on which the SOC system is structured.
1. The SOC covers all occupations in which work is performed for pay or profit, including work performed in family-operated enterprises by family members who are not directly compensated. It excludes occupations unique to volunteers. Each occupation is assigned to only one occupational category at the lowest level of the classification.

2. Occupations are classified based on work performed and, in some cases, on the skills, education, and/or training needed to perform the work at a competent level.

3. Workers primarily engaged in planning and directing are classified in management occupations in Major Group 11-0000. Duties of these workers may include supervision.

4. Supervisors of workers in Major Groups 13-0000 through 29-0000 usually have work experience and perform activities similar to those of the workers they supervise, and therefore are classified with the workers they supervise.

5. Workers in Major Group 31-0000 Healthcare Support Occupations assist and are usually supervised by workers in Major Group 29-0000 Healthcare Practitioners and Technical Occupations. Therefore, there are no first-line supervisor occupations in Major Group 31-0000.

6. Workers in Major Groups 33-0000 through 53-0000 whose primary duty is supervising are classified in the appropriate first-line supervisor category because their work activities are distinct from those of the workers they supervise.Image description. Top of Page End of image description.

Image description. Top of Page End of image description. 7. Apprentices and trainees are classified with the occupations for which they are being trained, while helpers and aides are classified separately because they are not in training for the occupation they are helping.

8. If an occupation is not included as a distinct detailed occupation in the structure, it is classified in an appropriate “All Other,” or residual, occupation. “All Other” occupations are placed in the structure when it is determined that the detailed occupations comprising a broad occupation group do not account for all of the workers in the group. These occupations appear as the last occupation in the group with a code ending in “9” and are identified in their title by having “All Other” appear at the end.

9. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau are charged with collecting and reporting data on total U.S. employment across the full spectrum of SOC major groups. Thus, for a detailed occupation to be included in the SOC, either the Bureau of Labor Statistics or the Census Bureau must be able to collect and report data on that occupation.



## 2010 SOC Coding Guidelines
The SOC Coding Guidelines are intended to assist users in consistently assigning SOC codes and titles to survey responses and in other coding activities.
1. A worker should be assigned to an SOC occupation code based on work performed.

2. When workers in a single job could be coded in more than one occupation, they should be coded in the occupation that requires the highest level of skill. If there is no measurable difference in skill requirements, workers should be coded in the occupation in which they spend the most time. Workers whose job is to teach at different levels (e.g., elementary, middle, or secondary) should be coded in the occupation corresponding to the highest educational level they teach.

3. Data collection and reporting agencies should assign workers to the most detailed occupation possible. Different agencies may use different levels of aggregation, depending on their ability to collect data. For more information on data produced using the SOC, see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section.

4. Workers who perform activities not described in any distinct detailed occupation in the SOC structure should be coded in an appropriate “All Other” or residual occupation. These residual occupational categories appear as the last occupation in a group with a code ending in “9” and are identified by having the words “All Other” appear at the end of the title.

5. Workers in Major Groups 33-0000 through 53-0000 who spend 80 percent or more of their time performing supervisory activities are coded in the appropriate first-line supervisor category in the SOC. In these same Major Groups (33-0000 through 53-0000), persons with supervisory duties who spend less than 80 percent of their time supervising are coded with the workers they supervise.

6. Licensed and non-licensed workers performing the same work should be coded together in the same detailed occupation, except where specified otherwise in the SOC definition.



## Additional Reporting Information

• IPEDS does not require institutions to manually code and report all occupations at the detailed SOC level. Most of the occupational data in IPEDS will be collected at a higher level (e.g., major level); however, there are a few instances where data will be collected at a lower level (e.g., detailed) such as Postsecondary Teachers. For IPEDS purposes, institutions should report their employees in the categories defined in the IPEDS HR survey. For example, a College President would most likely fall under the detailed SOC occupation of “Education Administrators, Postsecondary” ( 11 -9033) where the first two-digits ( 11 ) of the SOC code represent the SOC “major group” in this example. Based on the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey and the 2010 SOC crosswalk at http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/resource/download/IPEDS_HR_2012- 13_and_2010_SOC_Crosswalk.pdf , the SOC code of “ 11-0000 ” corresponds to the SOC major group of “Management Occupations,” which is cross walked to the IPEDS HR “Management Occupations” category. Consequently, for IPEDS purposes, the College President should be placed in the “Management Occupations” category in the HR survey. [IPEDS does not require institutions to manually code the College President at the detailed level.]

• The following categories were added to collect data on not on tenure track staff:Image description. Top of Page End of image description. • Multi-year contract - A contract or employment agreement that is in effect for more than one year (e.g., more than 365 days) where subsequent years of the contract may be contingent upon other factors such as the appropriation of funds. The renewal period of a multi-year contract is not on an annual basis (e.g., a 5-year multi-year contract is renewed every 5 years NOT annually).

• Annual contract - An annually-renewable contract or employment agreement that is in effect for a stated annual period within one year of execution, and may be equal to a period of 365 days, or a standard academic year, or the equivalent. Does not include contracts for partial year periods such as a single semester, quarter, term, block, or course.

• Less-than-annual-contract - A contract or employment agreement that is in effect for a partial year period of less than 365 days, or less than a standard academic year or the equivalent. Includes contracts for partial year periods such as a single semester, quarter, term, block, or course.

• Hospitals, medical centers, and other entities that offer postsecondary education programs as part of their mission should report only those staff who work full time or part time in the postsecondary education division or component of the institution . If a staff member works full time for the institution, but only part time in the postsecondary education division or component, for purposes of this survey, that person should be reported as part time in his or her occupational category in the postsecondary education division or component.



## Descriptions of Occupational Categories

Postsecondary Teachers (by function) Listed below are descriptions of the "Postsecondary Teachers" category by function.



## Instructional Staff [NOTE: This heading was changed from "Instruction" to "Instructional Staff" in the instructions for clarification on 8/7/12.] Consist of staff members in the following categories:

• Instruction (only) Persons whose specific assignments customarily are made for the purpose of providing instruction or teaching. Regardless of title, academic rank, or tenure status, these employees formally spend the majority of their time providing instruction or teaching.

• Instruction combined with research and/or public service Persons for whom it is not possible to differentiate between instruction or teaching, research, and public service because each of these functions is an integral component of his/her regular assignment. Regardless of title, academic rank, or tenure status, these employees formally spend the majority of their time providing instruction, research, and/or public service.



## Research Persons whose specific assignments customarily are made for the purpose of conducting research

. Regardless of title, academic rank, or tenure status, these employees formally spend the majority of their time conducting research.

Public Service Persons whose specific assignments customarily are made for the purpose of carrying out public service activities such as agricultural extension services, clinical services, or continuing education. Regardless of title, academic rank, or tenure status, these employees formally spend the majority of their time carrying out public service activities. (This category includes employees with a public service assignment regardless of the location of the assignment (e.g., in the field rather than on campus).

## New Hires Degree-granting institutions and related administrative offices that have 15 or MORE full-time staff AND responded "Yes" to the screening question about full-time permanent new hires will be required to complete Part H. Part H has slightly different reporting criteria from the other parts. In Part H, report the number of full-time permanent staff who were included on the payroll of the institution between July 1 and October 31, 2012 either for the first time (new to the institution) or after a break in service AND who were still on the payroll of the institution as of November 1, 2012 . Do not include as new hirespersons who have returned from sabbatical leave OR full-time Postsecondary Staff who are working less-than9-month contracts.



## Salaries A salary worksheet was added to collect the number of full-time, non-medical, instructional staff separately by gender and academic rank for the following contracts: 9-month contract, 10-month contract, 11-month contract, and 12-month contract. Salary outlays of full-time, non-medical, instructional staff are also collected by gender and academic rank. A column was added to the survey after the salary outlays column to collect the number of months covered by the salary outlays. (This number will be used to calculate a weighted monthly average salary.) To assist data reporters in determining the number of hours covered, a worksheet is provided in the data collection system that collects the number of staff on 9-month contracts, 10-month contracts, 11-month contracts, and 12-month contracts, by gender and academic rank. For each gender and academic rank category, the system would then calculate: (1) the total number of staff reported (i.e., the sum of the values entered for each contract length), and (2) the total number of months covered (i.e., the sum of the staff reported for each contract length multiplied by the number of months in the contract). Additional stipends for administrative, managerial or other responsibilities should NOT be included in the salary calculation. Salary outlays are also collected for full-time, non-medical, non-instructional staff by occupational category on a separate screen. (The number of full-time, non-medical, non-instructional staff by occupational category is carried forward from Part A.) These totals are not disaggregated by race/ethnicity and gender. NOTE: The following instruction about staff on sabbatical leave and staff who are on leave was added on 10/31/12 for clarity; however, the instruction has historically been included in the IPEDS HR instructions: When reporting staff on sabbatical leave and staff who are on leave, but remain on the payroll of the institution, report such persons at their regular salaries even though the staff may be receiving a reduced annuity while on leave.

### Answers:
General
1) For the IPEDS HR survey component that is applicable to degree-granting institutions, what happened to the references to the IPEDS HR sections called: Employees by Assigned Position (EAP), Salaries, and Fall Staff?

### Beginninng with the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey, the references to EAP, Salaries, and Fall Staff are no longer used; however, parts are still used. Please refer to the parts for the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey carefully since they may have changed from previous years. Back to top

2) Why has NCES changed the occupational categories in the IPEDS HR survey? 

### The IPEDS HR survey was changed to comply with the requirement to align IPEDS HR reporting with the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. Also, prior to 2012-13, most of the occupational categories and corresponding definitions in the IPEDS HR survey and its predecessor called the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) remained basically the same for over two decades. (The 2010 SOC reflects changes in the workforce over the last decade.) Back to top

3) My institution has staff for which gender is unknown. Since there is no place to report "gender unknown" on the IPEDS data collection screens, how should we report these individuals? 

### These individuals are still to be reported to IPEDS, even though their gender is unknown. It is up to the institution to decide how best to handle reporting individuals whose gender is unknown. However, a common method used is to allocate the individuals with gender unknown based on the known proportion of men to women for staff. Back to top

4) How do I know if I must complete the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) EEO-1 survey form? 

### Since the EEO-1 survey form is conducted by EEOC, you must contact EEOC directly to find out about their survey reporting requirements. For more information about EEO-1 reporting, please refer to the following EEOC website, which includes contact information: http://www.eeoc.gov/eeo1survey/index.html. Back to top

5) What is the relationship between the EEO-6 form and IPEDS? 

### The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) previously collected data on the EEO-6 form. In 1993, IPEDS took over the collection of the EEO-6 data. These data are made available to the EEOC and to the Office for Civil Rights. Back to top

6) How often are data for the IPEDS HR survey collected?

1. In even-numbered years such as Fall 2012, the reporting of race/ethnicity data in the IPEDS HR survey isoptional; however, the reporting of all other applicable data in the IPEDS survey is required. (During evennumbered years, IPEDS simply serves as a reporting mechanism for those institutions that are required to provide race/ethnicity data annually to their states or to other agencies.) 2. In odd-numbered years such as Fall 2011, the reporting of all applicable data (inlcuding race/ethnicity) in the IPEDS HR survey is required. 

### Back to top

Also, the staff must be on the payroll of the institution. Back to top

12) Do we include guest lecturers when we report to IPEDS? 

### If a guest lecturer is hired by the institution and placed on the institution’s payroll then the person should be included in the HR component. However, guest lecturers typically are given honoraria or lecture fees and thus are not paid through the institution’s payroll accounts. Back to top

13) Should I include full-time staff who are paid by another entity or who are paid indirectly by my institution? 

### No. Include only paid employees of your institution, recognizing that this may undercount the number of staff. Back to top

14) How do we handle individuals who are employees and also taking courses? 

### 1 - If they are student workers (e.g., College-Work study), exclude them from the HR component. 2 - If they are employed as graduate assistants to assist in the classroom or laboratory or to do research, include them as part-time employees in the graduate assistants category. 3 - If they are employed in regular jobs, either full time or part time, include them according to their primary function/occupational activity. Back to top

15) What do you mean by “medical school” staff? 

### Staff employed by or staff working in the medical school (M.D. and/or D.O.) component of a postsecondary institution or in a freestanding medical school. Does not include staff employed by or employees working strictly in a hospital associated with a medical school or those who work in health or allied health schools or departments such as dentistry, veterinary medicine, nursing, or dental hygiene unless the health or allied health schools or departments are affiliated with (housed in or under the authority of) the medical school. (The medical school pages are applicable to institutions with M.D. and/or D.O. programs only.) Back to top

16) How do I know if my data are consistent across certain parts? 

### There are internal edit checks in place to ensure consistency. Also, some cells will be pre-populated from data in other parts to help ensure consistent reporting. Back to top17) Can I change my data after completing a part? 

### Yes. Data may be changed after completing any part. Once edit checks are run, errors may be detected that will require users to revise data in one part to agree with what is reported in another part. Data cannot be locked until all errors are resolved. Back to top

18) Why do I keep receiving error messages about missing data when I have entered all necessary data for my institution? 

### If a displayed screen is not applicable to your institution, you must enter at least one zero in a field on that screen. If you are still unable to resolve the edit involving missing data, please contact the IPEDS Help Desk at 1-877-225-2568 for further assistance. Back to top

19) Who should I report as “Without faculty status”? 

### While institutions may use different designations of who is functioning as "faculty," there is generally some designation of whether or not an employee has faculty status. Report employees with faculty status in either the Tenured, On Tenure track, or Not on tenure track column by occupational category. Institutions may also employ individuals in the various occupational categories who do not have or who are not eligible to have faculty status. Report these individuals in the Without faculty status category. For example, an individual hired as a Computer Engineer without tenure eligibility should be reported in the IPEDS occupational category of "Computer, Engineering, and Science Occupations" in the Without Faculty Status category. Postdoctoral research associate, because they do not have faculty status, would be reported in the Without faculty status category. Back to top

20) If a person currently employed by an institution accepts a new full-time position within the institution, is that person considered a new hire? 

### NO. The currently employed person is not considered a new hire. New hires are full-time permanent staff on the payroll of the institution between July 1 and October 31, 2012 either for the first time (new to the institution) or after a break in service AND who are still on the payroll of the institution as November 1, 2012.

All Federal agencies that publish occupational data for statistical purposes are required to use the SOC in order to increase data comparability. Back to top

4) How are occupations classified in the SOC? 

### Occupations in the SOC are classified based on work performed and, in some cases, on the skills, education, and/or training needed to perform the work at a competent level. [The previous statement relates to the SOC Classification Principle #2. There are nine Classification Prnciples in total and they form the basis on which the SOC system is structured. The previous SOC manual, which was the 2000 SOC Manual , had a similar classification principle, which also included “licensing” and “credentials;” however, licensing and credentials are no longer included in the updated principle. For a complete list of the 2010 SOC Classification Principles, refer to the following link: http://www.bls.gov/soc/soc_2010_class_prin_cod_guide.pdf.] Back to top

5) How is the SOC structured? 

### The SOC is a tiered occupational classification system with four levels: major group, minor group, broad occupation, and detailed occupation. The 23 major groups are broken down into 97 minor groups, followed by 461 broad occupations, and finally 840 detailed occupations. Back to top

6) Is there additional information on classifying and coding supervisors and managers? 

### For additional information on classifying and coding supervisors and managers, refer to the "2010 SOC Classification Principles" and the "2010 SOC Coding Guidelines," which are listed in the 2012-13 IPEDS HR instructions. Back to top

7) Which staff comprise the new Postsecondary Teachers category? 

### Beginning with the 2012-13 IPEDS HR component, the new term Postsecondary Teachers was introduced. Non-degree-granting institutions report Postsecondary Teachers in the single category called " Postsecondary Teachers " while degree-granting institutions report Postsecondary Teachers separately by the following functions:

• Instruction

• Instruction combined with research and/or public service

• Research

• Public Service 

### Back to top

8) How is data on library-related occupations collected? 

### Beginning with the 2012-13 IPEDS HR component, non-degree-granting institutions report library-related occupations in the single category called " Librarians, Curators, and Archivists ." Degree-granting institutions that have 15 or more full-time staff members report library-related occupations separately as:

• Archivists, Curators, and Museum Technicians

• Librarians

• Library Technicians

9) The certified public accountant (CPA) in my office has spent the past 10 years working soley in that capacity; however, recently, the CPA was asked to split half his time peforming his regular, on-going duties as a CPA and the other half of his time preparing timecards and other duties generally performed py payroll clerks. What occupational category should I place this person in the IPEDS HR survey? 

### First, the scenario described in this case is similar to the SOC Coding Guideline #2, which states, when workers in a single job could be coded in more than one occupation, they should be coded in the occupation that requires the highest level of skill. If there is no measurable difference in skill requirements, workers should be coded in the occupation in which they spend the most time. There are six SOC Coding Guidelines and they are intended to assist users in consistently assigning SOC codes and titles to survey responses and in other coding activities. For a complete list of the 2010 SOC Coding Guidelines, refer to the following link: http://www.bls.gov/soc/soc_2010_class_prin_cod_guide.pdf. The answer to the above question would be the IPEDS HR occupational category of "Business and Financial Operations Occupations" for the following reasons.

• The occupation of CPA requires a higher level of skill than the occupation of payroll clerk; therefore, the person in question would fall under the SOC Detailed occupation of " Accountants and Auditors" (SOC code 13 -2011), which falls under the SOC Major group of " Business and Financial Operations Occupations" (SOC code 13- 0000).

• In determining the equivalent IPEDS HR occupational category, refer to the IPEDS/SOC crosswalk, where you will see that the SOC Major group of Business and Financial Operations Occupations” has been crosswalked to the 2012-13 IPEDS HR Major Occupational Category of “Business and Financial Operations Occupations.”

### [NOTE: For IPEDS purposes, there is no need to manually code CPA to "Accountants and Auditors" because the data are not collected in IPEDS at that level.] Back to top

10) My institution has a graduate assistant who assists with updating the website for the computer department. How should I code this person in IPEDS? 

### Since this person is a graduate assistant updating websites in the computer department, include this person as a graduate assistant in the IPEDS HR category called, "Computer, Engineering, and Science Occupations." Back to top

11) Where can I find definitions of the 2010 SOC occupations? 

### A pdf version of the 2010 SOC definitions can be found at the following website: http://www.bls.gov/soc/soc_2010_definitions.pdf. A link to the Excel version of the definitions can be found at the following SOC homepage under the category called “2010 SOC, Downloadable Materials:” http://www.bls.gov/soc. While the SOC system is a four-level tiered system, SOC definitions only exist at the lowest occupational level, which is known as the “detailed occupation” level. Back to top

12) Where can I find additional information about the SOC system? 

### Refer to the following SOC homepage at: http://www.bls.gov/soc.

• A hardcopy of the English version of the 2010 SOC Manual can also be purchased from the following website: 

## http://www.ntis.gov/products/soc.aspx.

• The Spanish version of the 2010 SOC Manual is only available online and can be found at: 

## http://www.bls.gov/soc/soc_2010_Spanish_Version.pdf.
Back to top

13) When will the next SOC revision take place? 

### The next major review and revision of the SOC is expected to begin in 2013 in order to produce a 2018 version of the SOC. Back to top

14) Is there a summary of resources that relate to the new IPEDS occupational categories and the 2010 SOC? 

### A newly developed IPEDS HR/SOC Information Center can be found at: http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/resource/soc.asp . Additional items will be added to this resource page as they become available. For example, a tool is expected to be added that will include the 2010 SOC codes, titles, definitions, illustrative examples along with the corresponding IPEDS occupational categories. Back to top

15) For IPEDS reporting, are institutions required to code and report all occupations at the lowest, detailed SOC level? 

### IPEDS does not require institutions to manually code and report all occupations at the detailed SOC level. Most of the occupational data in IPEDS will be collected at a higher level (e.g., major level); however, there are a few instances where data will be collected at a lower level (e.g., detailed) such as Postsecondary Teachers. For IPEDS purposes, institutions should report their employees in the categories defined in the IPEDS HR survey. For example, a College President would most likely fall under the detailed SOC occupation of “Education Administrators, Postsecondary” ( 11 -9033) where the first two-digits ( 11 ) of the SOC code represent the SOC “major group” in this example. Based on the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey and the 2010 SOC crosswalk at http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/resource/download/IPEDS_HR_2012- 13_and_2010_SOC_Crosswalk.pdf , the SOC code of “ 11-0000 ” corresponds to the SOC major group of “Management Occupations,” which is cross walked to the IPEDS HR “Management Occupations” category. Consequently, for IPEDS purposes, the College President should be placed in the “Management Occupations” category in the HR survey. [IPEDS does not require institutions to manually code the College President at the detailed level.] Back to top

16) Can the previous IPEDS primary function/occupational activity categories be mapped to the new IPEDS occupational categories?

### In most cases, no. Since the detailed occupations in the 2010 SOC with similar job duties, and in some cases skills, education, and/or training, are grouped together , it was necessary for IPEDS to conform to the same methodology. [Please keep in mind that the occupational data to be reported in the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey are reported at a higher level (e.g., major level) in most cases; however, the same general premise applies.] Consequently, many categories such as “technical and paraprofessional” and “other professionals (support/service)” can no longer be used. For example, for the 2011-12 IPEDS HR survey, “Dietitians and Nutritionists” were included in the “Other Professional (support/service) category while “Dietetic Technicians” were included in the Technical and Paraprofessionals" category. In the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey, “Dietitians and Nutritionists” and “Dietetic Technicians” are included in the SAME major occupational category called “Healthcare Practitioners and Technical Occupations.” Additionally, most of the occupational categories in the previous IPEDS HR survey included definitions at the “major” level; however, the 2012-13 IPEDS HR occupational categories do not include definitions at the “major” level. This change was necessary to conform to the SOC system, which only includes definitions at the detailed (e.g., lowest) level. Back to top

### 2012-13 HR: Degree-granting Institutions and Related Administrative Offices that have less than 15 full-time staff



## Instructions for the 2012-13

Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS)

Human Resources (HR) Component Applicable to Degree-granting Institutions and Related Administrative Offices that have less than 15 full-time staff UPDATED – 10/31/12: The previous titles of “ Non-postsecondary Teaching Occupations” and “Graduate Assistants - Library and Non-postsecondary Teaching” were changed to "Other Teaching and Instructional Support Occupations” and “Graduate Assistants – Library and Instructional Support,” respectively for clarity. Also, a "NOTE" about staff on sabbatical leave and staff who are on leave was added to the Salaries section of the IPEDS HR instructions for clarity; however, the same instruction was included in prior years of the IPEDS HR instructions. [The data entry screen that includes the screening question on salaries was revised for clarity to indicate the reporting of data for Part G, full-time non-instructional staff, will still be required even if the answers to the “instructional staff” screening questions are No.]

## Purpose of Component The primary purpose of the Human Resources (HR) component that is applicable to degree-granting institutions and related administrative offices that have less than 15 full-time staff is to collect the number of staff by employment status (full time and part time) and occupational category and also to collect salary data on full-time staff. In odd-numbered years (e.g., 2011-12) such as last year, the purpose was also to collect data by race/ethnicity and gender. The reporting of data by race/ethnicity and gender is optional in even-numbered years such as this year (2012-13).



## Changes in Reporting

• New occupational categories replaced the primary function/occupational activity categories previously used in the IPEDS HR component. The change was required to align the IPEDS HR categories with the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) System. Detailed information on the IPEDS HR component and how it relates to the 2010 SOC system is listed below in the section called, "Reporting Staff by Occupational Category ." Additional information on the IPEDS HR component and the SOC system can be found at the IPEDS Human Resources/SOC Information Center at http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/resource/soc.asp.

• The professional and non-professional terminology is no longer used.

• A screening question has been added that asks if an institution has graduate assistants.

• Data are now collected by the new category of "Postsecondary Teachers."

• Graduate assistants are reported separately by the following categories: Teaching; Research; Management; Business and Financial Operations; Computer, Engineering, and Science; Community Service, Legal, Arts, and Media; Library and Instructional Support ; and Healthcare Practitioners and Technical. [NOTE: The previous graduate assistant category called, "Library and Non-postsecondary Teaching" was changed to the current graduate assistant category called "Library and Instructional Support" for clarity on 10/31/12.]

• A salary worksheet was added to collect the number of full-time, non-medical, instructional staff separately by gender and academic rank for the following contracts: 9-month contract, 10-month contract, 11-month contract, and 12-month contract. Salary outlays of full-time, non-medical, instructional staff are also collected by gender and academic rank. A column was added to the survey after the salary outlays column to collect the number of months covered by the salary outlays. (This number will be used to calculate a weighted monthly average salary.) 

### To assist data reporters in determining the number of hours covered, a worksheet is provided in the data collection system that collects the number of staff on 9-month contracts, 10-month contracts, 11-month contracts, and 12-month contracts, by gender and academic rank. For each gender and academic rank category, the system would then calculate: (1) the total number of staff reported (i.e., the sum of the values entered for each contract length), and (2) the total number of months covered (i.e., the sum of the staff reported for each contract length multiplied by the number of months in the contract). Salary outlays are also collected for full-time, non-medical, non-instructional staff by occupational category on a separate screen. (The number of full-time, non-medical, non-instructional staff by occupational category is carried forward from Part A.) These totals are not disaggregated by race/ethnicity and gender.



## General Instructions

NOTE: You must enter data on each displayed screen. If a displayed screen is not applicable to your institution, you must enter at least one zero in a field on that screen.

Context Boxes Context boxes (previously known as caveat boxes) are provided on several screens to give institutions the opportunity to provide more information about survey items.

(These questions must be answered before providing detailed data.) Responses to the screening questions will determine which parts must be completed.



### Reporting Persons by Racial/Ethnic Category Reporting Persons by Racial/Ethnic Category (1997 OMB) This information is being collected in compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and Sec. 421(a)(1) of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act. These instructions correspond with the Final Guidance on Maintaining, Collecting, and Reporting Racial and Ethnic Data to the U.S. Department of Education, published in the Federal Register on October 19, 2007.

Method of collection - Institutions must collect race and ethnicity information using a 2-question format. The first question is whether the respondent is Hispanic/Latino. The second question is whether the respondent is from one or more races from the following list: American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and White. Institutions should allow students and staff to self-identify their race and ethnicity. For further details on the guidance for collecting data, please see the full Federal Register notice. Method of reporting aggregate data - Institutions must report aggregate data to the U.S. Department of Education using the NINE categories below. Racial/ethnic designations are requested only for United States citizens, resident aliens, and other eligible non-citizens.

• Hispanic or Latino, regardless of race For Non-Hispanic/Latino individuals:

• American Indian or Alaska Native

• Asian

• Black or African American

• Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander

• White

• Two or more races In addition, the following categories may be used:

• Nonresident alien

• Race and ethnicity unknown 

### Racial/ethnic descriptions - Racial/ethnic designations as used in this survey do not denote scientific definitions of anthropological origins. The categories are:

• Hispanic or Latino- A person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.

• American Indian or Alaska Native- A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America) who maintains cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community attachment.

• Asian- A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian Subcontinent, including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam.

• Black or African American- A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa.

• Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander- A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands.

• White - A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. Other descriptive categories

• Nonresident alien - A person who is not a citizen or national of the United States and who is in this country on a visa or temporary basis and does not have the right to remain indefinitely. NOTE - Nonresident aliens are to be reported separately, in the boxes provided, rather than included in any ofthe seven racial/ethnic categories. Resident aliens and other eligible (for financial aid purposes) noncitizens who are not citizens or nationals of the United States and who have been admitted as legal immigrants for the purpose of obtaining permanent resident alien status (and who hold either an alienregistration card (Form I-551 or I-151), a Temporary Resident Card (Form I-688), or an ArrivalDeparture Record (Form I-94) with a notation that conveys legal immigrant status such as Section 207 Refugee, Section 208 Asylee, Conditional Entrant Parolee or Cuban-Haitian) are to be reported in the appropriate racial/ethnic categories along with United States citizens.

• Race and ethnicity unknown - This category is used only if the person did not select EITHER a racial or ethnic designation.



### Reporting Staff by Occupational CategoryImage description. Top of Page End of image description. The occupational categories in the IPEDS HR component were changed to become aligned with the occupational categories in the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) System. The SOC Classification Principles and Coding Guidelines were also revised in 2010. Listed below is an example of one change to the Classification Principles; however, please refer to the complete list of Classification Principles and Coding Guidelines below. Example of SOC Classification Principle: Old: Occupations are classified based on work performed and on required skills, education, training, and credentials. New: Occupations are classified based on work performed and, in some cases, on the skills, education, and/or training needed to perform the work at a competent level."



## 2010 SOC Classification Principles
The SOC Classification Principles form the basis on which the SOC system is structured.
1. The SOC covers all occupations in which work is performed for pay or profit, including work performed in family-operated enterprises by family members who are not directly compensated. It excludes occupations unique to volunteers. Each occupation is assigned to only one occupational category at the lowest level of the classification.

2. Occupations are classified based on work performed and, in some cases, on the skills, education, and/or training needed to perform the work at a competent level.

3. Workers primarily engaged in planning and directing are classified in management occupations in Major Group 11-0000. Duties of these workers may include supervision.

4. Supervisors of workers in Major Groups 13-0000 through 29-0000 usually have work experience and perform activities similar to those of the workers they supervise, and therefore are classified with the workers they supervise.

5. Workers in Major Group 31-0000 Healthcare Support Occupations assist and are usually supervised by workers in Major Group 29-0000 Healthcare Practitioners and Technical Occupations. Therefore, there are no first-line supervisor occupations in Major Group 31-0000.

6. Workers in Major Groups 33-0000 through 53-0000 whose primary duty is supervising are classified in the appropriate first-line supervisor category because their work activities are distinct from those of the workers they supervise.

7. Apprentices and trainees are classified with the occupations for which they are being trained, while helpers and aides are classified separately because they are not in training for the occupation they are helping.

8. If an occupation is not included as a distinct detailed occupation in the structure, it is classified in an appropriate “All Other,” or residual, occupation. “All Other” occupations are placed in the structure when it is determined that the detailed occupations comprising a broad occupation group do not account for all of the workers in the group. These occupations appear as the last occupation in the group with a code ending in “9” and are identified in their title by having “All Other” appear at the end.

9. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau are charged with collecting and reporting data on total U.S. employment across the full spectrum of SOC major groups. Thus, for a detailed occupation to be included in the SOC, either the Bureau of Labor Statistics or the Census Bureau must be able to collect and report data on that occupation.



## 2010 SOC Coding Guidelines
The SOC Coding Guidelines are intended to assist users in consistently assigning SOC codes and titles to survey responses and in other coding activities.
1. A worker should be assigned to an SOC occupation code based on work performed.

2. When workers in a single job could be coded in more than one occupation, they should be coded in the occupation that requires the highest level of skill. If there is no measurable difference in skill requirements, workers should be coded in the occupation in which they spend the most time. Workers whose job is to teach at different levels (e.g., elementary, middle, or secondary) should be coded in the occupation corresponding to the highest educational level they teach.Image description. Top of Page End of image description.

Image description. Top of Page End of image description. 3. Data collection and reporting agencies should assign workers to the most detailed occupation possible. Different agencies may use different levels of aggregation, depending on their ability to collect data. For more information on data produced using the SOC, see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section.

4. Workers who perform activities not described in any distinct detailed occupation in the SOC structure should be coded in an appropriate “All Other” or residual occupation. These residual occupational categories appear as the last occupation in a group with a code ending in “9” and are identified by having the words “All Other” appear at the end of the title.

5. Workers in Major Groups 33-0000 through 53-0000 who spend 80 percent or more of their time performing supervisory activities are coded in the appropriate first-line supervisor category in the SOC. In these same Major Groups (33-0000 through 53-0000), persons with supervisory duties who spend less than 80 percent of their time supervising are coded with the workers they supervise.

6. Licensed and non-licensed workers performing the same work should be coded together in the same detailed occupation, except where specified otherwise in the SOC definition.



## Additional Reporting Information

• IPEDS does not require institutions to manually code and report all occupations at the detailed SOC level. Most of the occupational data in IPEDS will be collected at a higher level (e.g., major level); however, there are a few instances where data will be collected at a lower level (e.g., detailed) such as Postsecondary Teachers. For IPEDS purposes, institutions should report their employees in the categories defined in the IPEDS HR survey. For example, a College President would most likely fall under the detailed SOC occupation of “Education Administrators, Postsecondary” ( 11 -9033) where the first two-digits ( 11 ) of the SOC code represent the SOC “major group” in this example. Based on the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey and the 2010 SOC crosswalk at http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/resource/download/IPEDS_HR_2012- 13_and_2010_SOC_Crosswalk.pdf , the SOC code of “ 11-0000 ” corresponds to the SOC major group of “Management Occupations,” which is cross walked to the IPEDS HR “Management Occupations” category. Consequently, for IPEDS purposes, the College President should be placed in the “Management Occupations” category in the HR survey. [IPEDS does not require institutions to manually code the College President at the detailed level.]

• Hospitals, medical centers, and other entities that offer postsecondary education programs as part of their mission should report only those staff who work full time or part time in the postsecondary education division or component of the institution . If a staff member works full time for the institution, but only part time in the postsecondary education division or component, for purposes of this survey, that person should be reported as part time in his or her occupational category in the postsecondary education division or component.



## Descriptions of Occupational Categories

Postsecondary Teachers (by function) Listed below are descriptions of those staff members who should be reported in the "Postsecondary Teachers" category.



## Instructional Staff [NOTE: This heading was changed from "Instruction" to "Instructional Staff" in the instructions for clarification on 8/7/12.] Consist of staff members in the following categories:

• Instruction (only) Persons whose specific assignments customarily are made for the purpose of providing instruction or teaching. Regardless of title, academic rank, or tenure status, these employees formally spend the majority of their time providing instruction or teaching.

• Instruction combined with research and/or public service Persons for whom it is not possible to differentiate between instruction or teaching, research, and public service because each of these functions is an integral component of his/her regular assignment. Regardless of title, academic rank, or tenure status, these employees formally spend the majority of their time providing instruction, research, and/or public service.



## Research

## Persons whose specific assignments customarily are made for the purpose of conducting research

.

Regardless of title, academic rank, or tenure status, these employees formally spend the majority of their time conducting research.

## NOTE:  If your institution has graduate assistants in the following categories, they should be placed in the appropriate graduate assistant categories below. For example, a graduate assistant updating websites in the computer department should be considered a graduate assistant in the IPEDS HR category called, "Computer, Engineering, and Science Occupations."

• 

### Graduate Assistant - Management (refer to the "Management Occupations" category above for more information)

• 

### Graduate Assistant - Business and Financial Operations (refer to the "Business and Financial Operations Occupations" category above for more information)

## Salaries A salary worksheet was added to collect the number of full-time, non-medical, instructional staff separately by gender and academic rank for the following contracts: 9-month contract, 10-month contract, 11-month contract, and 12-month contract. Salary outlays of full-time, non-medical, instructional staff are also collected by gender and academic rank. A column was added to the survey after the salary outlays column to collect the number of months covered by the salary outlays. (This number will be used to calculate a weighted monthly average salary.) To assist data reporters in determining the number of hours covered, a worksheet is provided in the data collection system that collects the number of staff on 9-month contracts, 10-month contracts, 11-month contracts, and 12-month contracts, by gender and academic rank. For each gender and academic rank category, the system would then calculate: (1) the total number of staff reported (i.e., the sum of the values entered for each contract length), and (2) the total number of months covered (i.e., the sum of the staff reported for each contract length multiplied by the number of months in the contract). Additional stipends for administrative, managerial or other responsibilities should NOT be included in the salary calculation. Salary outlays are also collected for full-time, non-medical, non-instructional staff by occupational category on a separate screen. (The number of full-time, non-medical, non-instructional staff by occupational category is carried forward from Part A.) These totals are not disaggregated by race/ethnicity and gender. NOTE: The following instruction about staff on sabbatical leave and staff who are on leave was added on 10/31/12 for clarity; however, the instruction has historically been included in the IPEDS HR instructions: When reporting staff on sabbatical leave and staff who are on leave, but remain on the payroll of the institution, report such persons at their regular salaries even though the staff may be receiving a reduced annuity while on leave.

### Beginninng with the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey, the references to EAP, Salaries, and Fall Staff are no longer used; however, parts are still used. Please refer to the parts for the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey carefully since they may have changed from previous years. Back to top

2) Why has NCES changed the occupational categories in the IPEDS HR survey? 

### The IPEDS HR survey was changed to comply with the requirement to align IPEDS HR reporting with the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. Also, prior to 2012-13, most of the occupational categories and corresponding definitions in the IPEDS HR survey and its predecessor called the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) remained basically the same for over two decades. (The 2010 SOC reflects changes in the workforce over the last decade.) Back to top

3) My institution has staff for which gender is unknown. Since there is no place to report "gender unknown" on the IPEDS data collection screens, how should we report these individuals? 

### These individuals are still to be reported to IPEDS, even though their gender is unknown. It is up to the institution to decide how best to handle reporting individuals whose gender is unknown. However, a common method used is to allocate the individuals with gender unknown based on the known proportion of men to women for staff. Back to top

4) How do I know if I must complete the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) EEO-1 survey form? 

### Since the EEO-1 survey form is conducted by EEOC, you must contact EEOC directly to find out about their survey reporting requirements. For more information about EEO-1 reporting, please refer to the following EEOC website, which includes contact information: http://www.eeoc.gov/eeo1survey/index.html. Back to top

5) What is the relationship between the EEO-6 form and IPEDS? 

### The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) previously collected data on the EEO-6 form. In 1993, IPEDS took over the collection of the EEO-6 data. These data are made available to the EEOC and to the Office for Civil Rights. Back to top

6) How often are data for the IPEDS HR survey collected?

1. In even-numbered years such as Fall 2012, the reporting of race/ethnicity data in the IPEDS HR survey isoptional; however, the reporting of all other applicable data in the IPEDS survey is required. (During evennumbered years, IPEDS simply serves as a reporting mechanism for those institutions that are required to provide race/ethnicity data annually to their states or to other agencies.) 2. In odd-numbered years such as Fall 2011, the reporting of all applicable data (inlcuding race/ethnicity) in the IPEDS HR survey is required. 

### Back to top

7) What is the period of reporting for the HR component? 

### The period of reporting is intended to provide a snapshot of your human resources/payroll data at one point in the fall.

• With the exception of the part that is collected on full-time permanent new hires from degree-granting institutions that have 15 or more full-time staff, institutions should report persons on the payroll of the institution as of November 1, 2012 in the 2012-13 IPEDS HR component. (For more details on who to include and exclude from the HR component, refer to the next two FAQs or refer to the sections of the complete instructions called "Who to include in this report" and "Who NOT to include in this report.")

• The part that is collected on new hires from degree-granting institutions that have 15 or more full-time staff has the following reporting requirement: includes full-time permanent new hires on the payroll of the institution between July 1 and October 31, 2012 either for the first time (new to the institution) or after a break in service AND who are still on the payroll of the institution as November 1, 2012. For additional details about new hires, refer to the complete set of instructions. 

### Back to top

8) What type of staff should be included in the IPEDS HR component? 

### The following types of staff should be included in the HR component:

• Staff who are on sabbatical leave and staff who are on leave, but remain on the payroll.

• Postsecondary Teachers who are hired to temporarily replace Postsecondary Teachers who are on sabbatical leave or on leave without pay.

• “Visiting” Postsecondary Teachers who are paid by your institution.

• Adjunct Postsecondary Teachers who are employed on a full-time or on a part-time basis in the occupational category for which they were hired.• Staff at off-campus centers associated with the campus covered by this report. (Do not include staff who work at

branch campuses located in a foreign country.) 

### Back to top

9) What type of staff should NOT be included in the IPEDS HR component? 

### The following types of employees should NOT be included in the HR component:

• Staff on leave without pay.

• Staff in the military or religious orders who are not paid by your institution.

• Staff whose services are contracted by or donated to the institution.

• Casual employees (hired on an ad-hoc or occasional basis to meet short-term needs).

• Undergraduate students.

• Students in the College Work-Study Program.

• Staff who work strictly in hospitals associated with medical schools. 

### Back to top

10) Should instructional staff who provide instruction in credit and/or non-credit courses be included in the HR component? 

### Yes. Instructional staff who provide instruction in credit and/or non-credit courses/activities should be included in the HR component. Back to top

11) Should I include in the IPEDS survey a professor who teaches courses via distance education and who is not based out of the college? 

### Staff at off-campus centers/sites associated with the campus covered by this report should be included in the HR component; however, staff who work at branch campuses located in a foreign country should NOT be included in the HR component. Also, the staff must be on the payroll of the institution. Back to top

12) Do we include guest lecturers when we report to IPEDS? 

### If a guest lecturer is hired by the institution and placed on the institution’s payroll then the person should be included in the HR component. However, guest lecturers typically are given honoraria or lecture fees and thus are not paid through the institution’s payroll accounts. Back to top

13) Should I include full-time staff who are paid by another entity or who are paid indirectly by my institution? 

### No. Include only paid employees of your institution, recognizing that this may undercount the number of staff. Back to top

14) How do we handle individuals who are employees and also taking courses? 

### 1 - If they are student workers (e.g., College-Work study), exclude them from the HR component. 2 - If they are employed as graduate assistants to assist in the classroom or laboratory or to do research, include them as part-time employees in the graduate assistants category. 3 - If they are employed in regular jobs, either full time or part time, include them according to their primary function/occupational activity. Back to top

15) What do you mean by “medical school” staff? 

### Staff employed by or staff working in the medical school (M.D. and/or D.O.) component of a postsecondary institution or in a freestanding medical school. Does not include staff employed by or employees working strictly in a hospital associated with a medical school or those who work in health or allied health schools or departments such as dentistry, veterinary medicine, nursing, or dental hygiene unless the health or allied health schools or departments are affiliated with (housed in or under the authority of) the medical school. (The medical school pages are applicable to institutions with M.D. and/or D.O. programs only.) Back to top

16) How do I know if my data are consistent across certain parts? 

### There are internal edit checks in place to ensure consistency. Also, some cells will be pre-populated from data in other parts to help ensure consistent reporting. Back to top17) Can I change my data after completing a part? 

### Yes. Data may be changed after completing any part. Once edit checks are run, errors may be detected that will require users to revise data in one part to agree with what is reported in another part. Data cannot be locked until all errors are resolved. Back to top

18) Why do I keep receiving error messages about missing data when I have entered all necessary data for my institution? 

### If a displayed screen is not applicable to your institution, you must enter at least one zero in a field on that screen. If you are still unable to resolve the edit involving missing data, please contact the IPEDS Help Desk at 1-877-225-2568 for further assistance. Back to top

19) Who should I report as “Without faculty status”? 

### While institutions may use different designations of who is functioning as "faculty," there is generally some designation of whether or not an employee has faculty status. Report employees with faculty status in either the Tenured, On Tenure track, or Not on tenure track column by occupational category. Institutions may also employ individuals in the various occupational categories who do not have or who are not eligible to have faculty status. Report these individuals in the Without faculty status category. For example, an individual hired as a Computer Engineer without tenure eligibility should be reported in the IPEDS occupational category of "Computer, Engineering, and Science Occupations" in the Without Faculty Status category. Postdoctoral research associate, because they do not have faculty status, would be reported in the Without faculty status category. Back to top

20) If a person currently employed by an institution accepts a new full-time position within the institution, is that person considered a new hire? 

### NO. The currently employed person is not considered a new hire. New hires are full-time permanent staff on the payroll of the institution between July 1 and October 31, 2012 either for the first time (new to the institution) or after a break in service AND who are still on the payroll of the institution as November 1, 2012. Also, new hires do not include persons who have returned from sabbatical leave or full-time Postsecondary Staff who are working less-than-9-month contracts. Back to top

21) How should full-time instructional staff on a “confidential payroll” (where salary is unavailable) be handled? 

### Make the best estimate of the salary of the full-time instructional staff. Back to top

22) Are salary data collected from all institutions? 

### No. Salary data are collected from degree-granting institutions only, unless one or more of the following are true:

• All instructional staff are employed on a part time basis.

• All instructional staff are military personnel.

• All instructional staff contribute their services (e.g., are members of a religious order).

• All instructional staff teach pre-clinical or clinical medicine. 

### All applicable institutions are required to complete the Salaries section annually. Back to top

. IPEDS and SOC
1) Why has NCES changed the occupational categories in the IPEDS HR survey? 

### The IPEDS HR survey was changed to comply with the requirement to align IPEDS HR reporting with the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. Also, prior to 2012-13, most of the occupational categories and corresponding definitions in the IPEDS HR survey and its predecessor called the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) remained basically the same for over two decades. (The 2010 SOC reflects changes in the workforce over the last decade.) Back to top

2) What is the SOC? 

### The Standard Occupational Classification system, or SOC, is designed to reflect the current occupational structure of the United States. Back to top

3) What is the purpose of the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system?

### The SOC system is used by Federal statistical agencies to classify workers and jobs into occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, analyzing, or disseminating data. All Federal agencies that publish occupational data for statistical purposes are required to use the SOC in order to increase data comparability. Back to top

4) How are occupations classified in the SOC? 

### Occupations in the SOC are classified based on work performed and, in some cases, on the skills, education, and/or training needed to perform the work at a competent level. [The previous statement relates to the SOC Classification Principle #2. There are nine Classification Prnciples in total and they form the basis on which the SOC system is structured. The previous SOC manual, which was the 2000 SOC Manual , had a similar classification principle, which also included “licensing” and “credentials;” however, licensing and credentials are no longer included in the updated principle. For a complete list of the 2010 SOC Classification Principles, refer to the following link: http://www.bls.gov/soc/soc_2010_class_prin_cod_guide.pdf.] Back to top

5) How is the SOC structured? 

### The SOC is a tiered occupational classification system with four levels: major group, minor group, broad occupation, and detailed occupation. The 23 major groups are broken down into 97 minor groups, followed by 461 broad occupations, and finally 840 detailed occupations. Back to top

6) Is there additional information on classifying and coding supervisors and managers? 

### For additional information on classifying and coding supervisors and managers, refer to the "2010 SOC Classification Principles" and the "2010 SOC Coding Guidelines," which are listed in the 2012-13 IPEDS HR instructions. Back to top

7) Which staff comprise the new Postsecondary Teachers category? 

### Beginning with the 2012-13 IPEDS HR component, the new term Postsecondary Teachers was introduced. Non-degree-granting institutions report Postsecondary Teachers in the single category called " Postsecondary Teachers " while degree-granting institutions report Postsecondary Teachers separately by the following functions:

• Instruction

• Instruction combined with research and/or public service

• Research

• Public Service 

### Back to top

8) How is data on library-related occupations collected? 

### Beginning with the 2012-13 IPEDS HR component, non-degree-granting institutions report library-related occupations in the single category called " Librarians, Curators, and Archivists ." Degree-granting institutions that have 15 or more full-time staff members report library-related occupations separately as:

• Archivists, Curators, and Museum Technicians

• Librarians

• Library Technicians 

### Back to top

9) The certified public accountant (CPA) in my office has spent the past 10 years working soley in that capacity; however, recently, the CPA was asked to split half his time peforming his regular, on-going duties as a CPA and the other half of his time preparing timecards and other duties generally performed py payroll clerks. What occupational category should I place this person in the IPEDS HR survey? 

### First, the scenario described in this case is similar to the SOC Coding Guideline #2, which states, when workers in a single job could be coded in more than one occupation, they should be coded in the occupation that requires the highest level of skill. If there is no measurable difference in skill requirements, workers should be coded in the occupation in which they spend the most time. There are six SOC Coding Guidelines and they are intended to assist users in consistently assigning SOC codes and titles to survey responses and in other coding activities. For a complete list of the 2010 SOC Coding Guidelines, refer to the following link: http://www.bls.gov/soc/soc_2010_class_prin_cod_guide.pdf. The answer to the above question would be the IPEDS HR occupational category of "Business and Financial Operations Occupations" for the following reasons.

• The occupation of CPA requires a higher level of skill than the occupation of payroll clerk; therefore, the person in question would fall under the SOC Detailed occupation of " Accountants and Auditors" (SOC code 13 -2011), which falls under the SOC Major group of " Business and Financial Operations Occupations" (SOC code 13- 0000).

• In determining the equivalent IPEDS HR occupational category, refer to the IPEDS/SOC crosswalk, where you will see that the SOC Major group of Business and Financial Operations Occupations” has been crosswalked to the 2012-13 IPEDS HR Major Occupational Category of “Business and Financial Operations Occupations.”

### [NOTE: For IPEDS purposes, there is no need to manually code CPA to "Accountants and Auditors" because the data are not collected in IPEDS at that level.] Back to top

10) My institution has a graduate assistant who assists with updating the website for the computer department. How should I code this person in IPEDS? 

### Since this person is a graduate assistant updating websites in the computer department, include this person as a graduate assistant in the IPEDS HR category called, "Computer, Engineering, and Science Occupations." Back to top

11) Where can I find definitions of the 2010 SOC occupations? 

### A pdf version of the 2010 SOC definitions can be found at the following website: http://www.bls.gov/soc/soc_2010_definitions.pdf. A link to the Excel version of the definitions can be found at the following SOC homepage under the category called “2010 SOC, Downloadable Materials:” http://www.bls.gov/soc. While the SOC system is a four-level tiered system, SOC definitions only exist at the lowest occupational level, which is known as the “detailed occupation” level. Back to top

12) Where can I find additional information about the SOC system? 

### Refer to the following SOC homepage at: http://www.bls.gov/soc.

• A hardcopy of the English version of the 2010 SOC Manual can also be purchased from the following website: 

## http://www.ntis.gov/products/soc.aspx.

• The Spanish version of the 2010 SOC Manual is only available online and can be found at: 

## http://www.bls.gov/soc/soc_2010_Spanish_Version.pdf.
Back to top

13) When will the next SOC revision take place? 

### The next major review and revision of the SOC is expected to begin in 2013 in order to produce a 2018 version of the SOC. Back to top

14) Is there a summary of resources that relate to the new IPEDS occupational categories and the 2010 SOC? 

### A newly developed IPEDS HR/SOC Information Center can be found at: http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/resource/soc.asp . Additional items will be added to this resource page as they become available. For example, a tool is expected to be added that will include the 2010 SOC codes, titles, definitions, illustrative examples along with the corresponding IPEDS occupational categories. Back to top

15) For IPEDS reporting, are institutions required to code and report all occupations at the lowest, detailed SOC level? 

### IPEDS does not require institutions to manually code and report all occupations at the detailed SOC level. Most of the occupational data in IPEDS will be collected at a higher level (e.g., major level); however, there are a few instances where data will be collected at a lower level (e.g., detailed) such as Postsecondary Teachers. For IPEDS purposes, institutions should report their employees in the categories defined in the IPEDS HR survey. For example, a College President would most likely fall under the detailed SOC occupation of “Education Administrators, Postsecondary” ( 11 -9033) where the first two-digits ( 11 ) of the SOC code represent the SOC “major group” in this example. Based on the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey and the 2010 SOC crosswalk at http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/resource/download/IPEDS_HR_2012- 13_and_2010_SOC_Crosswalk.pdf , the SOC code of “ 11-0000 ” corresponds to the SOC major group of “Management Occupations,” which is cross walked to the IPEDS HR “Management Occupations” category. Consequently, for IPEDS purposes, the College President should be placed in the “Management Occupations” category in the HR survey. [IPEDS does not require institutions to manually code the College President at the detailed level.] Back to top

16) Can the previous IPEDS primary function/occupational activity categories be mapped to the new IPEDS occupational categories?

### In most cases, no. Since the detailed occupations in the 2010 SOC with similar job duties, and in some cases skills, education, and/or training, are grouped together , it was necessary for IPEDS to conform to the same methodology. [Please keep in mind that the occupational data to be reported in the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey are reported at a higher level (e.g., major level) in most cases; however, the same general premise applies.] Consequently, many categories such as “technical and paraprofessional” and “other professionals (support/service)” can no longer be used. For example, for the 2011-12 IPEDS HR survey, “Dietitians and Nutritionists” were included in the “Other Professional (support/service) category while “Dietetic Technicians” were included in the Technical and Paraprofessionals" category. In the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey, “Dietitians and Nutritionists” and “Dietetic Technicians” are included in the SAME major occupational category called “Healthcare Practitioners and Technical Occupations.” Additionally, most of the occupational categories in the previous IPEDS HR survey included definitions at the “major” level; however, the 2012-13 IPEDS HR occupational categories do not include definitions at the “major” level. This change was necessary to conform to the SOC system, which only includes definitions at the detailed (e.g., lowest) level. Back to top

Image description. Top of Page End of image description.

Image description. Top of Page End of image description. The primary purpose of the Human Resources (HR) component that is applicable to non-degree-granting institutions and related administrative offices is to collect the number of staff by employment status (full time and part time) and occupational category. In odd-numbered years (e.g., 2011-12) such as last year, the purpose was also to collect data by race/ethnicity and gender. The reporting of data by race/ethnicity and gender is optional in even-numbered years such as this year (2012-13).



## Changes in Reporting

• New occupational categories replaced the primary function/occupational activity categories previously used in the IPEDS HR component.

## Detailed Instructions

NOTE: You must enter data on each displayed screen. If a displayed screen is not applicable to your institution, you must enter at least one zero in a field on that screen.

Screening Questions Please read and answer the screening questions in the data collection system very carefully. (These questions must be answered before providing detailed data.) Responses to the screening questions will determine which parts must be completed.



### Reporting Persons by Racial/Ethnic Category Reporting Persons by Racial/Ethnic Category (1997 OMB) This information is being collected in compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and Sec. 421(a)(1) of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational Education Act. These instructions correspond with the Final Guidance on Maintaining, Collecting, and Reporting Racial and Ethnic Data to the U.S. Department of Education, published in the Federal Register on October 19, 2007.

Method of collection - Institutions must collect race and ethnicity information using a 2-question format. The first question is whether the respondent is Hispanic/Latino. The second question is whether the respondent is from one or more races from the following list: American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and White. Institutions should allow students and staff to self-identify their race and ethnicity. For further details on the guidance for collecting data, please see the full Federal Register notice. Method of reporting aggregate data - Institutions must report aggregate data to the U.S. Department of Education using the NINE categories below. Racial/ethnic designations are requested only for United States citizens, resident aliens, and other eligible non-citizens.

• Hispanic or Latino, regardless of race For Non-Hispanic/Latino individuals:

• American Indian or Alaska Native

• Asian

• Black or African American

• Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander

• White

• Two or more races In addition, the following categories may be used:Image description. Top of Page End of image description. • Nonresident alien

• Race and ethnicity unknown 

### Racial/ethnic descriptions - Racial/ethnic designations as used in this survey do not denote scientific definitions of anthropological origins. The categories are:

• Hispanic or Latino- A person of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless of race.

• American Indian or Alaska Native- A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America) who maintains cultural identification through tribal affiliation or community attachment.

• Asian- A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian Subcontinent, including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam.

• Black or African American- A person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa.

• Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander- A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands.

• White - A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. Other descriptive categories

• Nonresident alien - A person who is not a citizen or national of the United States and who is in this country on a visa or temporary basis and does not have the right to remain indefinitely. NOTE - Nonresident aliens are to be reported separately, in the boxes provided, rather than included in any ofthe seven racial/ethnic categories. Resident aliens and other eligible (for financial aid purposes) noncitizens who are not citizens or nationals of the United States and who have been admitted as legal immigrants for the purpose of obtaining permanent resident alien status (and who hold either an alienregistration card (Form I-551 or I-151), a Temporary Resident Card (Form I-688), or an ArrivalDeparture Record (Form I-94) with a notation that conveys legal immigrant status such as Section 207 Refugee, Section 208 Asylee, Conditional Entrant Parolee or Cuban-Haitian) are to be reported in the appropriate racial/ethnic categories along with United States citizens.

• Race and ethnicity unknown - This category is used only if the person did not select EITHER a racial or ethnic designation.



### Reporting Staff by Occupational Category The occupational categories in the IPEDS HR component were changed to become aligned with the occupational categories in the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) System. The SOC Classification Principles and Coding Guidelines were also revised in 2010. Listed below is an example of one change to the Classification Principles; however, please refer to the complete list of Classification Principles and Coding Guidelines below. Example of SOC Classification Principle: Old: Occupations are classified based on work performed and on required skills, education, training, and credentials. New: Occupations are classified based on work performed and, in some cases, on the skills, education, and/or training needed to perform the work at a competent level."



## 2010 SOC Classification Principles
The SOC Classification Principles form the basis on which the SOC system is structured.
1. The SOC covers all occupations in which work is performed for pay or profit, including work performed in family-operated enterprises by family members who are not directly compensated. It excludes occupations unique to volunteers. Each occupation is assigned to only one occupational category at the lowest level of the classification.

2. Occupations are classified based on work performed and, in some cases, on the skills, education, and/or training needed to perform the work at a competent level.

3. Workers primarily engaged in planning and directing are classified in management occupations in Major Group 11-0000. Duties of these workers may include supervision.

4. Supervisors of workers in Major Groups 13-0000 through 29-0000 usually have work experience and perform activities similar to those of the workers they supervise, and therefore are classified with the workers they supervise.

5. Workers in Major Group 31-0000 Healthcare Support Occupations assist and are usually supervised by workers in Major Group 29-0000 Healthcare Practitioners and Technical Occupations. Therefore, there are no first-line supervisor occupations in Major Group 31-0000.Image description. Top of Page End of image description.

Image description. Top of Page End of image description. 6. Workers in Major Groups 33-0000 through 53-0000 whose primary duty is supervising are classified in the appropriate first-line supervisor category because their work activities are distinct from those of the workers they supervise.

7. Apprentices and trainees are classified with the occupations for which they are being trained, while helpers and aides are classified separately because they are not in training for the occupation they are helping.

8. If an occupation is not included as a distinct detailed occupation in the structure, it is classified in an appropriate “All Other,” or residual, occupation. “All Other” occupations are placed in the structure when it is determined that the detailed occupations comprising a broad occupation group do not account for all of the workers in the group. These occupations appear as the last occupation in the group with a code ending in “9” and are identified in their title by having “All Other” appear at the end.

9. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Census Bureau are charged with collecting and reporting data on total U.S. employment across the full spectrum of SOC major groups. Thus, for a detailed occupation to be included in the SOC, either the Bureau of Labor Statistics or the Census Bureau must be able to collect and report data on that occupation.



## 2010 SOC Coding Guidelines
The SOC Coding Guidelines are intended to assist users in consistently assigning SOC codes and titles to survey responses and in other coding activities.
1. A worker should be assigned to an SOC occupation code based on work performed.

2. When workers in a single job could be coded in more than one occupation, they should be coded in the occupation that requires the highest level of skill. If there is no measurable difference in skill requirements, workers should be coded in the occupation in which they spend the most time. Workers whose job is to teach at different levels (e.g., elementary, middle, or secondary) should be coded in the occupation corresponding to the highest educational level they teach.

3. Data collection and reporting agencies should assign workers to the most detailed occupation possible. Different agencies may use different levels of aggregation, depending on their ability to collect data. For more information on data produced using the SOC, see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section.

4. Workers who perform activities not described in any distinct detailed occupation in the SOC structure should be coded in an appropriate “All Other” or residual occupation. These residual occupational categories appear as the last occupation in a group with a code ending in “9” and are identified by having the words “All Other” appear at the end of the title.

5. Workers in Major Groups 33-0000 through 53-0000 who spend 80 percent or more of their time performing supervisory activities are coded in the appropriate first-line supervisor category in the SOC. In these same Major Groups (33-0000 through 53-0000), persons with supervisory duties who spend less than 80 percent of their time supervising are coded with the workers they supervise.

6. Licensed and non-licensed workers performing the same work should be coded together in the same detailed occupation, except where specified otherwise in the SOC definition.



## Additional Reporting InformationImage description. Top of Page End of image description. • IPEDS does not require institutions to manually code and report all occupations at the detailed SOC level. Most of the occupational data in IPEDS will be collected at a higher level (e.g., major level); however, there are a few instances where data will be collected at a lower level (e.g., detailed) such as Postsecondary Teachers. For IPEDS purposes, institutions should report their employees in the categories defined in the IPEDS HR survey. For example, a College President would most likely fall under the detailed SOC occupation of “Education Administrators, Postsecondary” ( 11 -9033) where the first two-digits ( 11 ) of the SOC code represent the SOC “major group” in this example. Based on the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey and the 2010 SOC crosswalk at http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/resource/download/IPEDS_HR_2012- 13_and_2010_SOC_Crosswalk.pdf , the SOC code of “ 11-0000 ” corresponds to the SOC major group of “Management Occupations,” which is cross walked to the IPEDS HR “Management Occupations” category. Consequently, for IPEDS purposes, the College President should be placed in the “Management Occupations” category in the HR survey. [IPEDS does not require institutions to manually code the College President at the detailed level.]

• Hospitals, medical centers, and other entities that offer postsecondary education programs as part of their mission should report only those staff who work full time or part time in the postsecondary education division or component of the institution . If a staff member works full time for the institution, but only part time in the postsecondary education division or component, for purposes of this survey, that person should be reported as part time in his or her occupational category in the postsecondary education division or component.



## Descriptions of Occupational Categories

Postsecondary Teachers (by function) Listed below are descriptions of those staff members who should be reported in the "Postsecondary Teachers" category.



## Instructional Staff [NOTE: This heading was changed from "Instruction" to "Instructional Staff" in these instructions for clarification on 8/7/12.] Consist of staff members in the following categories:

• Instruction (only) Persons whose specific assignments customarily are made for the purpose of providing instruction or teaching. Regardless of title, academic rank, or tenure status, these employees formally spend the majority of their time providing instruction or teaching.

• Instruction combined with research and/or public service Persons for whom it is not possible to differentiate between instruction or teaching, research, and public service because each of these functions is an integral component of his/her regular assignment. Regardless of title, academic rank, or tenure status, these employees formally spend the majority of their time providing instruction, research, and/or public service.



## Research Persons whose specific assignments customarily are made for the purpose of conducting research

. Regardless of title, academic rank, or tenure status, these employees formally spend the majority of their time conducting research.

Public Service Persons whose specific assignments customarily are made for the purpose of carrying out public service activities such as agricultural extension services, clinical services, or continuing education. Regardless of title, academic rank, or tenure status, these employees formally spend the majority of their time carrying out public service activities. (This category includes employees with a public service assignment regardless of the location of the assignment (e.g., in the field rather than on campus).

### Answers:
General
1) For the IPEDS HR survey component that is applicable to degree-granting institutions, what happened to the references to the IPEDS HR sections called: Employees by Assigned Position (EAP), Salaries, and Fall Staff?

### Beginninng with the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey, the references to EAP, Salaries, and Fall Staff are no longer used; however, parts are still used. Please refer to the parts for the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey carefully since they may have changed from previous years. Back to top

2) Why has NCES changed the occupational categories in the IPEDS HR survey? 

### The IPEDS HR survey was changed to comply with the requirement to align IPEDS HR reporting with the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. Also, prior to 2012-13, most of the occupational categories and corresponding definitions in the IPEDS HR survey and its predecessor called the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) remained basically the same for over two decades. (The 2010 SOC reflects changes in the workforce over the last decade.) Back to top

3) My institution has staff for which gender is unknown. Since there is no place to report "gender unknown" on the IPEDS data collection screens, how should we report these individuals? 

### These individuals are still to be reported to IPEDS, even though their gender is unknown. It is up to the institution to decide how best to handle reporting individuals whose gender is unknown. However, a common method used is to allocate the individuals with gender unknown based on the known proportion of men to women for staff. Back to top

4) How do I know if I must complete the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) EEO-1 survey form? 

### Since the EEO-1 survey form is conducted by EEOC, you must contact EEOC directly to find out about their survey reporting requirements. For more information about EEO-1 reporting, please refer to the following EEOC website, which includes contact information: http://www.eeoc.gov/eeo1survey/index.html. Back to top

5) What is the relationship between the EEO-6 form and IPEDS? 

### The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) previously collected data on the EEO-6 form. In 1993, IPEDS took over the collection of the EEO-6 data. These data are made available to the EEOC and to the Office for Civil Rights. Back to top

6) How often are data for the IPEDS HR survey collected?

1. In even-numbered years such as Fall 2012, the reporting of race/ethnicity data in the IPEDS HR survey isoptional; however, the reporting of all other applicable data in the IPEDS survey is required. (During evennumbered years, IPEDS simply serves as a reporting mechanism for those institutions that are required to provide race/ethnicity data annually to their states or to other agencies.) 2. In odd-numbered years such as Fall 2011, the reporting of all applicable data (inlcuding race/ethnicity) in the IPEDS HR survey is required. 

### Back to top

7) What is the period of reporting for the HR component? 

### The period of reporting is intended to provide a snapshot of your human resources/payroll data at one point in the fall.

• With the exception of the part that is collected on full-time permanent new hires from degree-granting institutions that have 15 or more full-time staff, institutions should report persons on the payroll of the institution as of November 1, 2012 in the 2012-13 IPEDS HR component. (For more details on who to include and exclude from the HR component, refer to the next two FAQs or refer to the sections of the complete instructions called "Who to include in this report" and "Who NOT to include in this report.")

• The part that is collected on new hires from degree-granting institutions that have 15 or more full-time staff has the following reporting requirement: includes full-time permanent new hires on the payroll of the institution between July 1 and October 31, 2012 either for the first time (new to the institution) or after a break in service AND who are still on the payroll of the institution as November 1, 2012. For additional details about new hires, refer to the complete set of instructions.

### Back to top

10) Should instructional staff who provide instruction in credit and/or non-credit courses be included in the HR component? 

### Yes. Instructional staff who provide instruction in credit and/or non-credit courses/activities should be included in the HR component. Back to top

11) Should I include in the IPEDS survey a professor who teaches courses via distance education and who is not based out of the college? 

### Staff at off-campus centers/sites associated with the campus covered by this report should be included in the HR component; however, staff who work at branch campuses located in a foreign country should NOT be included in the HR component. Also, the staff must be on the payroll of the institution. Back to top

12) Do we include guest lecturers when we report to IPEDS? 

### If a guest lecturer is hired by the institution and placed on the institution’s payroll then the person should be included in the HR component. However, guest lecturers typically are given honoraria or lecture fees and thus are not paid through the institution’s payroll accounts. Back to top

13) Should I include full-time staff who are paid by another entity or who are paid indirectly by my institution? 

### No. Include only paid employees of your institution, recognizing that this may undercount the number of staff. Back to top

14) How do we handle individuals who are employees and also taking courses? 

### 1 - If they are student workers (e.g., College-Work study), exclude them from the HR component. 2 - If they are employed as graduate assistants to assist in the classroom or laboratory or to do research, include them as part-time employees in the graduate assistants category. 3 - If they are employed in regular jobs, either full time or part time, include them according to their primary function/occupational activity. Back to top

15) What do you mean by “medical school” staff? 

### Staff employed by or staff working in the medical school (M.D. and/or D.O.) component of a postsecondary institution or in a freestanding medical school. Does not include staff employed by or employees working strictly in a hospital associated with a medical school or those who work in health or allied health schools or departments such as dentistry, veterinary medicine, nursing, or dental hygiene unless the health or allied health schools or departments are affiliated with (housed in or under the authority of) the medical school. (The medical school pages are applicable to institutions with M.D. and/or D.O. programs only.) Back to top

16) How do I know if my data are consistent across certain parts? 

### There are internal edit checks in place to ensure consistency. Also, some cells will be pre-populated from data in other parts to help ensure consistent reporting. Back to top17) Can I change my data after completing a part? 

### Yes. Data may be changed after completing any part. Once edit checks are run, errors may be detected that will require users to revise data in one part to agree with what is reported in another part. Data cannot be locked until all errors are resolved. Back to top

18) Why do I keep receiving error messages about missing data when I have entered all necessary data for my institution? 

### If a displayed screen is not applicable to your institution, you must enter at least one zero in a field on that screen. If you are still unable to resolve the edit involving missing data, please contact the IPEDS Help Desk at 1-877-225-2568 for further assistance. Back to top

19) Who should I report as “Without faculty status”? 

### While institutions may use different designations of who is functioning as "faculty," there is generally some designation of whether or not an employee has faculty status. Report employees with faculty status in either the Tenured, On Tenure track, or Not on tenure track column by occupational category. Institutions may also employ individuals in the various occupational categories who do not have or who are not eligible to have faculty status. Report these individuals in the Without faculty status category. For example, an individual hired as a Computer Engineer without tenure eligibility should be reported in the IPEDS occupational category of "Computer, Engineering, and Science Occupations" in the Without Faculty Status category. Postdoctoral research associate, because they do not have faculty status, would be reported in the Without faculty status category. Back to top

20) If a person currently employed by an institution accepts a new full-time position within the institution, is that person considered a new hire? 

### NO. The currently employed person is not considered a new hire. New hires are full-time permanent staff on the payroll of the institution between July 1 and October 31, 2012 either for the first time (new to the institution) or after a break in service AND who are still on the payroll of the institution as November 1, 2012. Also, new hires do not include persons who have returned from sabbatical leave or full-time Postsecondary Staff who are working less-than-9-month contracts. Back to top

• All instructional staff are employed on a part time basis.

• All instructional staff are military personnel.

• All instructional staff contribute their services (e.g., are members of a religious order).

• All instructional staff teach pre-clinical or clinical medicine. 

### All applicable institutions are required to complete the Salaries section annually. Back to top

. IPEDS and SOC
1) Why has NCES changed the occupational categories in the IPEDS HR survey? 

### The IPEDS HR survey was changed to comply with the requirement to align IPEDS HR reporting with the 2010 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. Also, prior to 2012-13, most of the occupational categories and corresponding definitions in the IPEDS HR survey and its predecessor called the Higher Education General Information Survey (HEGIS) remained basically the same for over two decades. (The 2010 SOC reflects changes in the workforce over the last decade.) Back to top

2) What is the SOC? 

### The Standard Occupational Classification system, or SOC, is designed to reflect the current occupational structure of the United States. Back to top

3) What is the purpose of the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system?

### The SOC system is used by Federal statistical agencies to classify workers and jobs into occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, analyzing, or disseminating data. All Federal agencies that publish occupational data for statistical purposes are required to use the SOC in order to increase data comparability. Back to top

4) How are occupations classified in the SOC? 

### Occupations in the SOC are classified based on work performed and, in some cases, on the skills, education, and/or training needed to perform the work at a competent level. [The previous statement relates to the SOC Classification Principle #2. There are nine Classification Prnciples in total and they form the basis on which the SOC system is structured. The previous SOC manual, which was the 2000 SOC Manual , had a similar classification principle, which also included “licensing” and “credentials;” however, licensing and credentials are no longer included in the updated principle. For a complete list of the 2010 SOC Classification Principles, refer to the following link: http://www.bls.gov/soc/soc_2010_class_prin_cod_guide.pdf.] Back to top

5) How is the SOC structured? 

### The SOC is a tiered occupational classification system with four levels: major group, minor group, broad occupation, and detailed occupation. The 23 major groups are broken down into 97 minor groups, followed by 461 broad occupations, and finally 840 detailed occupations. Back to top

6) Is there additional information on classifying and coding supervisors and managers? 

### For additional information on classifying and coding supervisors and managers, refer to the "2010 SOC Classification Principles" and the "2010 SOC Coding Guidelines," which are listed in the 2012-13 IPEDS HR instructions. Back to top

7) Which staff comprise the new Postsecondary Teachers category? 

### Beginning with the 2012-13 IPEDS HR component, the new term Postsecondary Teachers was introduced. Non-degree-granting institutions report Postsecondary Teachers in the single category called " Postsecondary Teachers " while degree-granting institutions report Postsecondary Teachers separately by the following functions:

• Instruction

• Instruction combined with research and/or public service

• Research

• Public Service 

### Back to top

8) How is data on library-related occupations collected? 

### Beginning with the 2012-13 IPEDS HR component, non-degree-granting institutions report library-related occupations in the single category called " Librarians, Curators, and Archivists ." Degree-granting institutions that have 15 or more full-time staff members report library-related occupations separately as:

• Archivists, Curators, and Museum Technicians

• Librarians

• Library Technicians 

### Back to top

9) The certified public accountant (CPA) in my office has spent the past 10 years working soley in that capacity; however, recently, the CPA was asked to split half his time peforming his regular, on-going duties as a CPA and the other half of his time preparing timecards and other duties generally performed py payroll clerks. What occupational category should I place this person in the IPEDS HR survey? 

### First, the scenario described in this case is similar to the SOC Coding Guideline #2, which states, when workers in a single job could be coded in more than one occupation, they should be coded in the occupation that requires the highest level of skill. If there is no measurable difference in skill requirements, workers should be coded in the occupation in which they spend the most time. There are six SOC Coding Guidelines and they are intended to assist users in consistently assigning SOC codes and titles to survey responses and in other coding activities. For a complete list of the 2010 SOC Coding Guidelines, refer to the following link: http://www.bls.gov/soc/soc_2010_class_prin_cod_guide.pdf. The answer to the above question would be the IPEDS HR occupational category of "Business and Financial Operations Occupations" for the following reasons.

• The occupation of CPA requires a higher level of skill than the occupation of payroll clerk; therefore, the person in question would fall under the SOC Detailed occupation of " Accountants and Auditors" (SOC code 13 -2011), which falls under the SOC Major group of " Business and Financial Operations Occupations" (SOC code 13- 0000).

• In determining the equivalent IPEDS HR occupational category, refer to the IPEDS/SOC crosswalk, where you will see that the SOC Major group of Business and Financial Operations Occupations” has been crosswalked to the 2012-13 IPEDS HR Major Occupational Category of “Business and Financial Operations Occupations.”

### [NOTE: For IPEDS purposes, there is no need to manually code CPA to "Accountants and Auditors" because the data are not collected in IPEDS at that level.] Back to top

10) My institution has a graduate assistant who assists with updating the website for the computer department. How should I code this person in IPEDS? 

### Since this person is a graduate assistant updating websites in the computer department, include this person as a graduate assistant in the IPEDS HR category called, "Computer, Engineering, and Science Occupations." Back to top

11) Where can I find definitions of the 2010 SOC occupations? 

### A pdf version of the 2010 SOC definitions can be found at the following website: http://www.bls.gov/soc/soc_2010_definitions.pdf. A link to the Excel version of the definitions can be found at the following SOC homepage under the category called “2010 SOC, Downloadable Materials:” http://www.bls.gov/soc. While the SOC system is a four-level tiered system, SOC definitions only exist at the lowest occupational level, which is known as the “detailed occupation” level. Back to top

12) Where can I find additional information about the SOC system? 

### Refer to the following SOC homepage at: http://www.bls.gov/soc.

• A hardcopy of the English version of the 2010 SOC Manual can also be purchased from the following website:

13) When will the next SOC revision take place? 

### The next major review and revision of the SOC is expected to begin in 2013 in order to produce a 2018 version of the SOC. Back to top

14) Is there a summary of resources that relate to the new IPEDS occupational categories and the 2010 SOC? 

### A newly developed IPEDS HR/SOC Information Center can be found at: http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/resource/soc.asp . Additional items will be added to this resource page as they become available. For example, a tool is expected to be added that will include the 2010 SOC codes, titles, definitions, illustrative examples along with the corresponding IPEDS occupational categories. Back to top

15) For IPEDS reporting, are institutions required to code and report all occupations at the lowest, detailed SOC level? 

### IPEDS does not require institutions to manually code and report all occupations at the detailed SOC level. Most of the occupational data in IPEDS will be collected at a higher level (e.g., major level); however, there are a few instances where data will be collected at a lower level (e.g., detailed) such as Postsecondary Teachers. For IPEDS purposes, institutions should report their employees in the categories defined in the IPEDS HR survey. For example, a College President would most likely fall under the detailed SOC occupation of “Education Administrators, Postsecondary” ( 11 -9033) where the first two-digits ( 11 ) of the SOC code represent the SOC “major group” in this example. Based on the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey and the 2010 SOC crosswalk at http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/resource/download/IPEDS_HR_2012- 13_and_2010_SOC_Crosswalk.pdf , the SOC code of “ 11-0000 ” corresponds to the SOC major group of “Management Occupations,” which is cross walked to the IPEDS HR “Management Occupations” category. Consequently, for IPEDS purposes, the College President should be placed in the “Management Occupations” category in the HR survey. [IPEDS does not require institutions to manually code the College President at the detailed level.] Back to top

16) Can the previous IPEDS primary function/occupational activity categories be mapped to the new IPEDS occupational categories?

### In most cases, no. Since the detailed occupations in the 2010 SOC with similar job duties, and in some cases skills, education, and/or training, are grouped together , it was necessary for IPEDS to conform to the same methodology. [Please keep in mind that the occupational data to be reported in the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey are reported at a higher level (e.g., major level) in most cases; however, the same general premise applies.] Consequently, many categories such as “technical and paraprofessional” and “other professionals (support/service)” can no longer be used. For example, for the 2011-12 IPEDS HR survey, “Dietitians and Nutritionists” were included in the “Other Professional (support/service) category while “Dietetic Technicians” were included in the Technical and Paraprofessionals" category. In the 2012-13 IPEDS HR survey, “Dietitians and Nutritionists” and “Dietetic Technicians” are included in the SAME major occupational category called “Healthcare Practitioners and Technical Occupations.” Additionally, most of the occupational categories in the previous IPEDS HR survey included definitions at the “major” level; however, the 2012-13 IPEDS HR occupational categories do not include definitions at the “major” level. This change was necessary to conform to the SOC system, which only includes definitions at the detailed (e.g., lowest) level. Back to top
