IPEDS Schedule for 2003-04
6/18/2003
All institutions participating in the Title IV student aid programs are required under the Higher Education Amendments of 1992 to complete surveys conducted by the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) in a timely manner. The Department of Education has released the schedule for Web collections in 2003-04, and institutions should pay close attention to the opening and closing dates. Except in rare circumstances, the National Center for Education Statistics does not permit an extension of time for institutions to submit reports.

All institutions are required to register for the 2003-04 data collection cycle. Beginning on July 23, IDs and passwords will be distributed to all institutions. July 30 marks the official opening date for registration, and August 27 ends the registration period.
