Summary 

Introduction

This report presents findings from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) 

spring 2002 data collection, which included enrollment data for fall 2001, financial statistics for 

fiscal year 2001, and student financial aid data for the 2000–01 academic year. These data were 

collected through the IPEDS web-based data collection system. 

IPEDS began collecting data in 1985 from all postsecondary institutions in the United States (the 

50 states and the District of Columbia) and its outlying areas.1 For IPEDS, a postsecondary 

institution is defined as an organization that is open to the public and has as its primary mission 

the provision of postsecondary education. IPEDS defines postsecondary education as formal 

instructional programs with a curriculum designed primarily for students who are beyond the 

compulsory age for high school. This includes academic, vocational, and continuing professional 

education programs and excludes institutions that offer only avocational (leisure) and adult basic 

education programs.

Participation in IPEDS is a requirement for the 6,615 institutions that participated in Title IV 

federal student financial aid programs such as Pell Grants or Stafford Loans during the 2001–02 

academic year.2 In addition, some of the 81 central and system offices included in IPEDS are 

required to respond to the Finance component of the survey if they have their own operating 

budgets (separate from the budgets of the individual campuses). Institutions that do not 

participate in Title IV programs may participate in the IPEDS data collection on a voluntary 

basis. 

Tabulations in this report present data collected from the 6,615 Title IV institutions in spring 

2002. Institutions provided enrollment, finance, student financial aid, and graduation rate data. 

Graduation rate data are not included in this report because the Title IV 4-year institutions were 

not required to provide these data in spring 2002.3

Characteristics of Enrolled Students

In fall 2001, Title IV institutions in the United States and its outlying areas enrolled 16.6 million 

students (table A). Of these, 86.5 percent were enrolled in undergraduate programs, 11.6 percent 

1

The outlying areas are American Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, the Marshall Islands, the 

Northern Marianas, Palau, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

2

Institutions participating in Title IV programs are accredited by an agency or organization recognized by the U.S. 

Department of Education, have a program of over 300 clock hours or 8 credit hours, have been in business for at 

least 2 years, and have a signed Program Participation Agreement (PPA) with the Office of Postsecondary Education 

(OPE), U.S. Department of Education.

3According to the regulations implementing the Student Right-to-Know Act, institutions offering athletically related 

student aid are required to report graduation rates beginning with the group of students who entered the institution 

between September 1, 1996, and August 31, 1997. Four-year institutions must start providing these data in the 

IPEDS spring 2003 data collection. All other institutions are required to respond as part of their Program 

Participation Agreement.

were enrolled in graduate programs, and 1.9 percent were enrolled in first-professional programs. 

The majority of students, 60.0 percent, were enrolled full time, while 40.0 percent were enrolled 

part-time.

Women accounted for 56.6 percent of all postsecondary students enrolled in Title IV institutions 

in fall 2001. White, non-Hispanic students constituted 62.2 percent, and students in groups other 

than white constituted 28.5 percent of fall 2001 enrollment in Title IV institutions. The 

remaining enrollment in Title IV institutions was made up of students whose race/ethnicity was 

unknown and nonresident aliens (5.8 percent and 3.4 percent, respectively).

Characteristics of Students at Degree-Granting and Non-Degree-Granting Institutions 4

During fall 2001, 16.3 million students attended Title IV institutions located within the United 

States (table B). Almost all of these students (15.9 million) attended degree-granting institutions, 

while about 406,000 students attended non-degree-granting institutions.

A majority of students attended school full time in both degree-granting and non-degree-granting 

institutions (59.3 percent and 73.4 percent, respectively); likewise, a majority of the students 

were women in both types of institutions (56.3 percent and 64.7 percent, respectively). However, 

the proportion of students attending degree-granting or non-degree-granting institutions differed 

by race/ethnicity. Table B shows that 63.5 percent of the students attending degree-granting 

institutions were White, non-Hispanic, compared to 48.9 percent of those attending non-degree 

granting institutions. Looking at members of groups other than White, they accounted for 27.0 

percent of all students at degree-granting institutions and 43.5 percent of the students at nondegree-granting institutions. The remainder were either students whose race/ethnicity was 

unknown or nonresident aliens. 

Undergraduate Enrollment by Age

During fall 2001, 13.7 million undergraduates attended Title IV degree-granting institutions 

located within the United States (table C). Of these, 62.6 percent were between 18 and 24 years 

old, the traditional age for college attendees. Only 3.5 percent were under 18 years old, while 

10.2 percent were 25 to 29 years old, 18.3 percent were 30 to 49 years old, and 3.3 percent were 

50 or older. Age was unknown for 2.0 percent of undergraduates. 

Full-time students were more likely to be traditionally aged undergraduates than their part-time 

counterparts. Over 80 percent of full-time undergraduates, but only 34.7 percent of part-time 

undergraduates, were 18 to 24 years old. Considering institution control, undergraduates at 

private not-for-profit institutions were more likely to be of traditional age. Almost three-fourths 

4Degree-granting institutions are those that grant associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, doctor’s, or first-professional 

degrees. Non-degree-granting institutions award only certificates of completion; these institutions are primarily 

occupational/vocational schools awarding certificates in such programs as cosmetology, nursing, mechanics, 

aviation systems, computer and information sciences, dental assistant, and law enforcement.

years old.

Full-Time, First-Time Undergraduate Financial Aid Recipients5

IPEDS collects information on full-time, first-time degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates 

who receive financial aid. In fall 2000, there were nearly 2.0 million of these undergraduates in 

Title IV degree-granting institutions located in the United States (table D). About 70.3 percent of 

these students received financial aid during the 2000–01 academic year. The proportion of fulltime, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates who received financial aid varied by 

institution level and control. About 56.5 percent of this cohort of undergraduates at public 2-year 

institutions and 71.3 percent at public 4-year institutions received financial aid, while larger 

proportions received aid at private institutions. At private not-for-profit institutions, 82.6 percent 

received aid – 82.9 percent at 4-year institutions and 77.5 percent at 2-year institutions. At 

private for-profit institutions, 76.2 percent received aid – 63.8 percent of full-time, first-time 

degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates in 4-year institutions received aid compared to 84.3 

percent in 2-year institutions.

Overall, the proportions of these undergraduates receiving financial aid did not change 

dramatically between 1999–2000 and 2000–01.6 The percentage of full-time, first-time 

degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates receiving financial aid rose from 69.0 percent in 1999–

2000 to 70.3 percent in 2000–01. The largest difference was in private not-for-profit 2-year 

institutions, where the percentage of students receiving aid increased from 66.4 percent in 1999-

2000 to 77.5 percent in 2000-01. 

In addition to aggregate numbers of financial aid recipients, data were collected on four specific 

types of financial aid: federal grants, state and local government grants, institutional grants, and 

student loans. On average, 45.0 percent of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking 

undergraduate financial aid recipients received one or more federal grants during the 2000–01 

academic year (table E). This percentage varied somewhat by institutional control. Nearly 65 

percent of these undergraduate aid recipients attending private for-profit institutions received 

federal grants, compared to 45.9 percent at public institutions and 34.4 percent at private not-forprofit institutions. 

The proportions of full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates receiving each 

type of aid varied by institutional control. These aid recipients at public institutions were more 

likely to receive state and local grants than those attending private not-for-profit or private forprofit institutions (51.2 percent compared to 38.5 percent and 19.9 percent, respectively). 

Whereas students at 4-year private not-for-profit institutions were more likely (84.6 percent) to 

receive institutional grants than students at other types of institutions; 13.1 percent and 5.7

percent of students at 4-year and 2-year private for-profit institutions, respectively, received 

institutional grants. Full-time, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students at 

private for-profit institutions were more likely than those attending public or private not-forprofit institutions to borrow money to attend college; 83.4 percent of these aid recipients at 

private for-profit institutions had student loans, compared to 46.9 percent at public institutions 

and 69.9 percent at private not-for-profit institutions.

Revenues of Degree-Granting Institutions

The Finance component of the spring 2002 IPEDS collected information on the revenues and 

expenditures of Title IV institutions during fiscal year (FY) 2001. Revenue data were collected 

by source of revenue, such as tuition and fees and government appropriations, while expenditure 

data were collected by purpose of expenditure, including instruction, research, and public 

service.

As shown in table F, the largest source of revenues differed by level and control of institution. 

Public 4-year institutions received close to one-third (31.9 percent) of their revenues from 

government appropriations, while public 2-year institutions received over half (54.9 percent) of 

their revenues from government appropriations. Both public 4-year and public 2-year institutions 

received nearly one-fifth of their revenues from tuition and fees (17.8 percent and 19.5 percent, 

respectively).

Private not-for-profit 4-year institutions received 38.0 percent of their revenues from tuition and 

fees. Due to a poor investment market, the 4-year private not-for-profit institutions realized 

negative investment returns in fiscal year 2001. In previous years, investment return provided an 

important source of funds for these institutions; whereas, for FY 2001, they depended more on 

private gifts, grants and contracts and government grants and contracts (18.4 percent and 13.1 

percent, respectively). In addition to revenues from tuition and fees (53.1 percent), the 2-year 

private not-for-profit institutions relied on government grants and contracts for 12.1 percent of 

their revenues and on private gifts, grants, and contracts for another 9.7 percent.

Private for-profit institutions, regardless of level, received the largest proportion of their 

revenues from tuition and fees. Four-year private for-profit institutions received 87.5 percent of 

their revenues from tuition and fees, and 2-year private for-profit institutions received 87.2 

percent of their revenues from tuition and fees.

2A change in the definition of "other revenue" resulted in a decrease in the proportion of revenues classified as "other revenue," 

relative to earlier E.D. Tab reports.

NOTE: Public and private institutions use different accounting standards; thus the categories differ. When reporting standards for 

private not-for-profit institutions changed under statements 116 and 117 of the FASB, accounting for scholarships changed, 

requiring that most scholarships be netted against tuition revenue. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.

Survey Methodology

Overview

IPEDS defines a postsecondary institution as an organization that is open to the public and has a 

primary mission of providing education or training beyond the high school level. The primary 

focus of the IPEDS spring 2002 data collection was to collect data from Title IV institutions. 

These institutions have Program Participation Agreements (PPAs) with the Office of 

Postsecondary Education (OPE) within the U.S. Department of Education and thus are eligible to 

participate in Title IV student financial aid programs. The re were 6,696 Title IV institutions 7 and 

offices located in the United States and the outlying areas of the United States, such as Puerto 

Rico, in the 2001–02 academic year. Among them, 6,688 met the requirements for inclusion in 

the spring 2002 IPEDS collection. (See page 70 for more detail on the content of the spring 

collection and the institutions surveyed.)

The spring 2002 data collection was entirely web-based. Institutions in the universe were asked 

to enter their survey responses using the IPEDS data collection web site. The spring 2002 IPEDS 

data were collected between March 11 and May 22, 2002. The collection had four components: 

Enrollment, Graduation Rates, Finance, and Student Financial Aid.

Terminology Used in the IPEDS Web Collection

Please refer to the Glossary provided at the end of this document for definitions of various terms.

Universe, Institutions Surveyed, and Response Rates

The IPEDS universe is established during the fall collection period. For the 2001–02 cycle, 154 

institutions included in prior IPEDS data collections were declared to be outside the scope of 

IPEDS. This happened because (1) they were duplicates of other institutions on the file, (2) they 

closed or were merged with another institution, and thus were no longer a legitimate institution 

or branch, or (3) they no longer offered a full program of study at the postsecondary level. In 

addition, 156 institutions were added to the universe. These schools were identified from several 

sources, including a universe review by state coordinators, a review of the data file maintained 

by the OPE, and information provided by the institutions themselves.

The full set of 6,696 institutions was validated by matching the IPEDS universe file with OPE’s 

Postsecondary Education Participation System (PEPS) file. Because most of the studies that use 

IPEDS data concentrate on the Title IV institutions, this group is the main focus of IPEDS. Also, 

according to Section 490 of the Higher Education Amendments of 1992 (P.L. 102-325), IPEDS 

is mandatory for any institutions that participate in or are applicants for participation in any 

federal financial assistance program authorized by Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, 

as amended (20 USC 1094(a)(17)). Non–Title IV institutions are not required to respond but are 

encouraged to provide data. 

7

Includes 6,615 institutions and 81 central or system offices. The central and system offices are required to 

complete the Institutional Characteristics component in the fall, the Staff component in the winter (if they have more 

than 15 full-time staff), and the Finance component in the spring (if they have their own separate budget).
52

The IPEDS database includes institutions that do not participate in Title IV financial aid 

programs. These institutions are invited to participate in the IPEDS program, and if they 

voluntarily respond to the surveys, the institutions are included in College Opportunities On-Line 

(IPEDS COOL). IPEDS COOL is a web site developed to help parents and students make 

informed decisions about postsecondary education. 

Not all 6,696 Title IV postsecondary institutions were required to participate in the spring data 

collection. For example, the Finance component applies to all institutions and central/system 

offices; however, 8 of the system/central offices were not required to respond because they do 

not have separate budgets to report. Also, the Student Financial Aid (SFA) component is 

applicable only to those institutions that have full-time first-time degree/certificate-seeking 

undergraduate level students. See the discussion on survey components on page 70 for further 

details on which institutions were required to complete each component. Among the 6,696 active 

Title IV institutions, 6,688 were eligible for the final universe of the spring 2002 data collection.

Table M1 provides the number of Title IV institutions and the survey response rates by degreegranting status and by level and control of institution for the United States and outlying areas. 

Because Title IV institutions are the primary focus of IPEDS and they are required to respond, 

response rates for Title IV institutions in the spring 2002 IPEDS collection were quite high. The 

overall data collection response rate was based on the combined response to the Enrollment 

component, the Finance component, and the Student Financial Aid component. An institution or 

office was counted as a respondent if it responded to any one of these components. The 

Graduation Rate component was not included in the calculation of the overall response rate 

because it is not yet required for 4-year institutions. The overall spring data collection response 

rate among all Title IV institutions was 96.5 percent. The response rate for the Enrollment 

component was 94.9 percent, the response rate for the Finance component was 90.8 percent, and 

the response rate for the Student Financial Aid component was 93.2 percent. For the overall 

spring data collection, less-than-2-year institutions had lower response rates than other 

institutions. Public institutions had the highest response rates for the overall spring data 

collection, while private for-profit institutions had the lowest response rates. Overall, 98.6 

percent of degree-granting and 92.6 percent of non-degree-granting Title IV institutions 

responded. 

Table M1a provides the number of Title IV institutions and the survey response rates by degreegranting status and by level and control of institution for those institutions located in the United 

States (excluding the outlying areas). 

The potential for nonresponse bias for all institutions (including those in the outlying areas) was 

analyzed for domains for which the response rate was less than 90 percent. As shown in table 

M1, for fall enrollment data the following seven domains have response rates below 90 percent: 

private not-for-profit 2-year institutions; private not-for-profit and private for-profit 4-year nondegree-granting institutions; private not-for-profit 2-year non-degree-granting institutions; and 

public, private not-for-profit, and private for-profit less-than-2-year non-degree-granting 

institutions. For finance data six additional domains have a response rate below 90 percent:

private for-profit 2-year institutions; private not-for-profit and private for-profit 2-year degreegranting institutions; public 4-year non-degree-granting institutions; and public and private forprofit 2-year non-degree-granting institutions. Besides the seven domains for fall enrollment 

data, student financial aid data have one additional domain with a response rate below 90 

percent: private for-profit 2-year non-degree-granting institutions. 

Nonresponse bias analysis was conducted by comparing responding and nonresponding 

institutions. Estimating nonresponse bias is necessarily based on data that are available for the 

current year’s nonrespondents. Hence, data from prior years are used for IPEDS estimates of 

nonresponse bias. Because institutions that are nonrespondents in the current year often were 

nonrespondents last year, the data used in the nonresponse bias analysis for each institution are 

last year’s data, if they are available, and otherwise the data are from 1 year earlier. Therefore, 

the nonresponse bias analysis for each component uses the prior 2 years’ respondents who were 

also eligible for the current survey component. 

If the imputed data are not used, the bias of the estimate of the current year’s mean, μ, based on 

the current year’s respondents, can be estimated as 

( ) ˆ( ) ,

ˆ

R R NR B y = h y − y

where hˆ is the nonresponse rate and Ry and NR y are the respondent and nonrespondent sample 

means, respectively. Likewise, the percentage of relative bias can be estimated as

where the denominator estimates the true population mean.

These formulae were used to estimate nonresponse bias (absolute and relative) for the domains 

with a response rate below 90 percent for each survey component. The current year’s data were

used to estimate the nonresponse rate, hˆ , and the 2 prior years’ respondents were used to 

estimate the current-year respondent and nonrespondent means, Ry and NR y , respectively. No 

significance tests were performed because the IPEDS is a census, not a sample survey.

The resulting estimates are provided in tables M2 (fall enrollment), M3 (finance), and M4 

(student financial aid) for those groups of institutions where response rates were less than 90 

percent. These tables are included to help users of the IPEDS data understand potential data 

quality issues. For fall enrollment, the estimated relative bias is less than 5 percent for 53 percent 

of the estimates and exceeds 10 percent for 34 percent of the estimates. For finance, the 

estimated relative bias is less than 5 percent for 20 percent of the estimates and exceeds 10 

percent for 58 percent of the estimates. The estimated relative bias for student financial aid data 

is less than 5 percent for 59 percent of the estimates and exceeds 10 percent for 24 percent of the 

estimates. In each case, most of the instances of the estimated relative bias exceeding 10 percent 

are based on rather small sample sizes (less than 20 prior year nonrespondents). Because relative 

bias is not always negligible (less than 5 percent), the imputed data should be used to reduce bias 

when making inferences from the survey components.

Survey Procedures

The spring 2002 IPEDS data collection was a full-scale web-based IPEDS data collection. Each 

institution appointed a keyholder who was responsible for ensuring that survey data submitted by 

the institution were correct. The keyholder could generate UserIDs and passwords for up to six 

additional survey respondents who could also enter or review data. For many institutions, 

keyholders were also required to edit and “lock” the data; locking substitutes for mailing the 

survey data to NCES. Additionally, many states or systems had one or more coordinators. 

Coordinators were responsible for a specified group of institutions to ensure that all data were 

entered correctly. Some coordinators were responsible for a system of institutions (e.g., SUNY—

the State University of New York); others may have coordinated all institutions in a state (e.g., 

Virginia). Also, coordinators could elect to provide different levels of review. For example, some 

may only have viewed data provided by their institutions, while others may have uploaded, 

reviewed, and locked data for their institutions. 

For the 2001–02 IPEDS collections, keyholders only had to register one time and were asked to 

do so prior to the fall 2001 collection. In past collections keyholders had been required to register 

for each collection period (i.e., both for fall and for spring). In mid-July, letters were sent to chief 

executive officers (CEOs) at institutions without preregistered keyholders requesting that they 

appoint a keyholder for the 2001–02 collection year. The package included a letter for the 

keyholder and a registration certificate with the institution’s UserID and password for the entire 

2001–02 collection. As part of the spring collection, in mid-February 2002, e-mail messages 

were sent to keyholders and coordinators who had registered for the 2001–02 collection 

requesting that they update or confirm their registration contact information beginning March 11, 

when the spring collection opened. Schools were allowed to designate a new keyholder at this 

time if needed. As with previous IPEDS studies, follow-up for nonresponse was conducted via 

mail, e-mail, and telephone throughout the collection period with CEOs, coordinators, and 

keyholders.

The web-based survey instruments offered many features to improve the quality and timeliness 

of the data. Survey respondents were required to register before entering data to provide a point 

of contact between NCES/IPEDS and the institution. Online data entry forms were tailored to 

each institution based on characteristics such as institutional control (public, private not-forprofit, private for-profit), level of institution, and calendar system (standard academic terms vs. 

enrollment by program/continuous enrollment). Additional tailoring occurred on the Graduation 

Rate component based on initial screening questions.

When data from previous years were available for an institution, they were preloaded on the 

customized forms in red for easy reference and comparison purposes. Once the 2002 data were 

entered, either manually or through file upload, the keyholders were required to run edit checks 

and resolve all errors before locking their data. Once data were locked, they were considered 

“submitted,” regardless of whether or not the coordinator had reviewed the submission.

Once the data were complete and all locks were set, IPEDS help desk staff conducted a final 

review. If any additional problems were detected, the help desk staff contacted the institutions to 

resolve any remaining questions. Once problems were resolved, the data were migrated to the 
70

Peer Analysis Tool, where they were available to other responding institutions for comparison 

purposes.

Survey Components

Enrollment—This component of the web-based survey has five separate parts. Part A collects 

summary data on the number of students enrolled in the fall, including the number of first-time, 

first-year degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate (freshmen) students; the total number of 

degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates; total undergraduates; total graduate students; and total 

first-professional students—all by race/ethnicity, gender, and enrollment status (full or parttime). Part B collects summary data on the number of students enrolled in the fall, by student 

level, gender, and age category for full-time and part-time students. Part C collects summary data 

on the home state of residence for first-time freshmen, including the number of first-time, firstyear degree/certificate-seeking students and the number who completed high school in the last 12 

months. Parts A, B, and C data are reported as of the institution’s official fall reporting date (or 

October 15, 2001) for the spring 2002 data collection. Part D collects data on the total 

unduplicated number of students enrolled, by race/ethnicity, gender, and student level during a 

12-month period in the previous year. Institutions must indicate the 12-month period for which 

they are reporting—either July 1, 2000, through June 30, 2001, or September 1, 2000, through 

August 31, 2001. Data are also requested on total instructional activity (total credit and/or 

contact hours attempted) for all students enrolled during the same 12-month reporting period. 

Part E collects data on the total number of undergraduate students that entered the institution for 

the first time in the fall term. Note that Part C data were optional for the spring 2002 collection.

Graduation Rates—This component collects the number of students entering the institution as 

first-time, full-time, degree/certificate-seeking in a particular year (cohort), by race/ethnicity and 

gender; number completing within 150% of normal time to program completion; number 

transferred to other institutions; number of students in the cohort receiving athletically related 

student aid; and number of athletes completing within 150% of normal time. This survey was 

developed to help institutions comply with requirements of the Student Right-to-Know Act. For 

4-year institutions the cohort entered in the 1995–96 academic year, and for 2-year and less-than2-year institutions the cohort entered in the 1998–99 academic year. Under the requirements of 

Student Right-to-Know, institutions must begin tracking a 1996 cohort, thus 4-year institutions 

were not required to respond.

Finance—This component of the web-based survey collects summary data on each institution’s 

financial status in fiscal year 2001. The Finance component has different versions of the form 

based on control of the institution: public, private not-for-profit, and private for-profit. This year 

public institutions were allowed to choose between GASB (Government Accounting Standards 

Board) reporting standards and FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) reporting 

standards, depending on which standards were used for their internal accounting. For public 

institutions that use GASB standards to prepare their financial statements, data are collected on 

current funds revenues by source (Part A), current funds expenditures by function (Part B), 

scholarship and fellowship expenditures (Part E), indebtedness on physical plant (Part G), details 

of endowment assets (Part H), hospital revenues (Part J), and physical plant assets (Part K). 

Additionally, certain data are collected for the U.S. Bureau of the Census, including fiscal year 
71

interest earnings and cash and security (Part L), fiscal year tax receipts and capital outlay 

expenditures (Part M, for local public institutions only), and fiscal year revenue, expenditure, 

and indebtedness (Part N, for state public institutions only). Private not-for-profit institutions and 

public institutions that use FASB standards to prepare their financial statements, report data on 

their statement of financial position (Part A), summary of changes in net assets (Part B), student 

grants (Part C), revenues and investment return (Part D), and expenses by functional and natural 

classification (Part E). A shortened version of the not-for-profit form was developed for private 

for-profit institutions, and data are collected on balance sheet information (Part A), summary of 

changes in equity (Part B), student grants (Part C), revenues and investment return (Part D), and 

expenses by function (Part E).

Student Financial Aid—This component of the web-based survey has two parts, a section on 

student counts and one on financial aid, and collects information on the 2000–01 academic year. 

Student counts are collected based on fall 2000 enrollment, and public institutions are asked to 

provide additional counts by in-district, in-state, and out-of-state students. The number of fulltime, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students who received any financial aid 

during the academic year is collected. Further, for each of four types of aid, the number of fulltime, first-time degree/certificate-seeking undergraduates receiving the aid and the average 

amount of aid received are collected. The four types of aid are: federal grants 

(grants/educational assistance funds), state/local grants (grants/scholarships/waivers), 

institutional grants (scholarships/fellowships), and loans to students. 

The survey forms are available at http://www.nces.ed.gov/ipeds/survey2001.asp.

Edit Procedures

Edit checks were built into the web-based instrument to detect major reporting errors. The 

system automatically generated percentages and totals on each collection component (i.e., 

Enrollment, Graduation Rates, Finance, and Student Financial Aid), and edit checks compared 

current responses to previously reported data. The edit checks could be run at any time during 

the collection, but as a final check, all edits were re-run automatically as the keyholder locked 

the data. As edit checks were executed, survey respondents were allowed to correct any errors 

detected by the system. If data were entered correctly but failed the edit checks, the survey 

respondents were asked either to confirm the data were correct as entered or to explain why the 

data were out of the expected data range. For the graduation rate cohort, institutions were 

permitted to change previously reported numbers if the data were entered incorrectly. Survey 

respondents were also provided with a caveats box on each survey component and were 

encouraged to use this area to explain any special circumstances that might not be evident in 

their reported data. In addition, the data were manually reviewed for additional errors by 

coordinators and the IPEDS help desk staff. When necessary, keyholders were contacted to 

verify the accuracy of the data.

For example, in the Enrollment component of the survey, the number of full-time, first-time, 

first-year degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students had to be less than or equal to the 

total number of students. Current year data were compared to data from previous years, and large 

discrepancies had to be justified in the caveats. Student counts were compared to instructional 
72

activity hours to ensure hours were reported if students were reported at the undergraduate and 

graduate levels. Total students in Part A (reported by race/ethnicity) had to equal total students in 

Part B (reported by age). For this collection cycle, Part C data were optional; however, if 

provided, total first-time, first-year degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students in Part A 

(reported by race/ethnicity) had to equal the number reported in Part C (reported by state of 

residence, U.S. territory, or foreign country). If the system detected discrepancies in the numbers 

reported in Parts A, B, and C, it forced a balance and put the numbers into “unknown” fields. 

This resulted in some negative numbers in the “unknown” fields, which were subsequently 

corrected prior to further data cleaning and imputation. 

For the Finance component, current year data were compared to the previous year’s data and 

large discrepancies had to be justified in the caveats. Total net assets had to equal total 

unrestricted net assets plus total restricted net assets. Total net assets also had to equal total 

assets minus total liabilities. Some fields, such as other sources of revenue, other expenses, and 

long-term debt outstanding at the end of the fiscal year, were generated by the computer using 

predetermined formulas. Institutions were instructed to compare the generated totals to the 

information in their financ ial statement and resolve any data entry errors or inconsistencies. 

Edits also were applied to the Student Financial Aid component of the survey. For example, the 

number of full-time, first-time students had to be less than or equal to the total number of 

students. The number of full-time, first-time students who received any financial aid during the 

full academic year had to be less than or equal to the number of full-time, first-time students. For 

public institutions only, the sum of in-district, in-state, and out-of-state full-time, first-time 

undergraduate students could not exceed the number of full-time, first-time undergraduate 

students. The number of full-time, first-time undergraduate students receiving federal grants 

could not exceed the number of full-time, first-time students who received any financial aid 

during the full academic year. The same criteria applied to state/local grants, institutional grants, 

and loans to students. 

Imputation Procedures

The enrollment data and finance data were subject to imputation for nonresponse—both total 

(institutional) nonresponse and partial (item) nonresponse. In addition, the imputation base was 

restricted to institutions satisfying the following conditions:

• The institution must participate in Title IV student financial aid programs;

• The institution must be currently active 8 in IPEDS; 

• The institution must not be an administrative unit;

• The institution must not be a child9 institution (a child institution’s data are reported by 

another institution, referred to as the parent); and

• For the Finance component, the institution must not be new to the IPEDS universe.

8

Institutions that did not respond were verified as currently active (open for business) prior to imputation through 

telephone calls and/or e-mail. 

9A child has all of its data reported by the parent institution.
73

For Part A of the Enrollment component, 38 imputation groups were formed primarily based on 

institutional sector, undergraduate, graduate, and first-professional offerings.

For the Finance component, Parts A, B, E, G, H, J, and K of the public GASB form and Parts A 

through E for both private not-for-profit (or public FASB) and private for-profit forms were 

subject to imputation. The imputation groups were created separately for public GASB, private 

not-for-profit (or public FASB), and private for-profit institutions. Twenty-seven imputation 

groups were formed based primarily on institutional sector, graduate or first-professional 

offering, medical degree offering, FIPS code (for public only), and religious affiliation (for 

private not-for-profit only).

Enrollment 

The following imputation methods were used to impute missing data in enrollment Part A:

• Carry Forward—Reported 2000 (or 1999) enrollment data were carried forward to the 

current year. The number of students reported in 2000 (or 1999) was used as the base 

value for the imputation. This base value was then multiplied by either the ratio of current 

year to past year median part-time students or the ratio of current year to past year 

median full-time students (whichever was applicable) within the imputation group to 

adjust for year-to-year change. Medians were determined within imputation groups.

• Nearest Neighbor—The completions data for the academic year of 2000–01 (or 1999–

2000) were used in defining the distance measure for this method. In particular, the 

distance between two institutions was defined as the maximum relative difference in 

award count among the levels of study (undergraduate, graduate, first-professional). The 

nearest neighbor of the imputee was selected from the responding institutions in the same 

imputation group as the donor. The donor’s enrollment counts were multiplied by the 

ratio of the imputee’s award count to the donor’s award count to adjust for the difference 

between the two institutions. These adjusted values were used as the imputed values. 

• Group Median—For each imputation group, the median enrollment count of all 

responding institutions was calculated. The responding institution that had the closest 

enrollment count to this median was designated as the “median” institution. Enrollment 

counts were imputed using the values from the median institution. For public institutions, 

if there were at least three donors from the imputee’s state, the median institution was 

chosen from the institutions within the same state as the imputee. Otherwise the median 

institution was chosen from the entire imputation group.

For total nonrespondents, if there were past enrollment data then the Carry Forward method was 

used. Alternately, if there were past completions data, the Nearest Neighbor method was used. 

Otherwise the Group Median method was used. Partial nonresponse was determined by 

comparison with the existing past data. The following three types of partial nonrespondents were 

imputed by Carry Forward:
74

• Missing a whole level—institutions missing all the lines for undergraduate, graduate, or 

first-professional offering.

• Missing a half level—full-time data were present but part-time data were missing, or 

part-time data were present and full-time data were missing. 

• Missing data within undergraduate level—first-time, first-year was present, but all 

undergraduates was missing, or total undergraduates was present, but first-time, first-year 

was missing.

Finance 

The following imputation methods were used to impute missing data in the Finance component 

of the survey:

• Carry Forward—Reported 2000 (or 1999) finance data were carried forward to the 

current year. The values were then multiplied by a median inflation adjustment from 

within the imputation group and, for some variables deemed proportional to enrollment 

such as total tuition and fees or total student grants, by full-time equivalent (FTE) 

enrollment ratios to adjust for year-to-year change.

• Nearest Neighbor—Consolidated Finance10 (CNF) survey—A nearest neighbor of the 

imputee was based on three 1999–2000 (or 1998–99) CNF variables: total current funds 

revenue, scholarships and fellowships expenditures, and total current fund expenditures. 

The relative difference between the imputee’s value and each institution’s value for each 

of the three variables was calculated. The distance between two institutions was defined 

as the maximum of the three differences. The nearest neighbor was the institution with 

the smallest distance from the imputee. An imputee/donor FTE adjustment for variables 

closely related to FTE, such as total tuition and fees or total student grants, was made to 

the imputed values. 

• Nearest Neighbor—Full-time-equivalent (FTE) Enrollment—Data from a nearest 

neighbor of the imputee based on FTE 2000 (or 1999) values within the imputation group 

were used as the imputed values. An imputee/donor FTE adjustment for variables closely 

related to FTE was made to the imputed values.

• Group Median—Within each imputation group, institutions were ranked by each 

variable. The total rank is the sum of the ranks across all variables. The institution with 

the median of the total rank is designated as the “median” institution. The data of the 

median institution were used as the imputed values. For public institutions, if there were 

at least three donors from the imputee’s state, the median institution was chosen from the

institutions.
75

institutions within the same state as the imputee. Otherwise the median institution was 

chosen from the entire imputation group.

For total nonrespondents, if there were past finance data, then the Carry Forward method was 

used. Alternately, if there were past Consolidated Finance data, the Nearest Neighbor—CNF 

method was used. If there were past FTE data, the Nearest Neighbor—FTE method was used. 

Otherwise, the Group Median method was used. Partial nonresponse was determined by 

comparison with the existing past data. Partial nonrespondents were imputed by Carry Forward 

imputation only.

Since no information is available on whether they actually adopt GASB or FASB to prepare their 

financial statements, public imputees are imputed using data from public GASB donors. Private 

not-for-profit imputees are imputed using data from private not-for-profit donors, not from 

public FASB donors.

submission using the web-based system. 

Level of institution: A means to classify institutions based on the level/length of programs 

offered: 4 years or higher (bachelor’s degrees or higher), at least 2 but less than 4 years’ 

duration, or less than 2 years’ duration.

Non-degree-granting institution: An institution offering only postbaccalaureate, post-master’s, or

and continuing professional education, and excludes avocational and adult basic education 

programs. For IPEDS, these institutions must be open to the public. 

PPA: Program Participation Agreement (used by OPE for Title IV federal student financial aid 

programs).

Race/ethnicity: Categories used to describe groups to which individuals belong, identify with, or 

belong in the eyes of the community. The categories do not denote scientific definitions of 

anthropological origins. A person may be counted in only one group. The groups used to 

categorize U.S. citizens, resident aliens, and other eligible non-citizens are as follows: 

ß Black, non-Hispanic

ß American Indian/Alaska Native 

ß Asian/Pacific Islander 
82

ß Hispanic 

ß White, non-Hispanic

Race/ethnicity unknown: Category used to classify students or employees whose race/ethnicity is

categories.

Revenues: The inflow of resources or other enhancement of net assets (or fund balance) of an 

institution or settlements of its liabilities (or a combination of both) from delivering or producing 

goods, rendering services, or other activities that constitute the institution's ongoing major or 

central operations. Included are revenues from fees and charges, appropriations, auxiliary

4-year institutions.

State/local grants: State and local monies awarded to the institution under state and local student 

aid programs, such as Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnerships (LEAP) (formerly 

SSIGs). Also includes merit scholarships provided by the state and fee waivers for which the
