Overview

Institutional Characteristics
Overview

Welcome to the Institutional Characteristics
(IC) component. This component collects important
information about your institution's mission, student
services, and student charges.

Much of the data
reported on IC appear on College Navigator, which is
updated once after IC data has been finally reviewed.
Thus, errors may stay on College Navigator for a full year.

Additionally, the cost of attendance data are
used to calculate the net price of attendance in the
Student Financial Aid component. This has important
implications for what students see about your
institution, and also for the College Affordability and
Transparency Center's lists.
Revisions or changes to costs can ONLY be made in the Student
Financial Aid component and not in the prior year revision
system.

Remember, it is the responsibility
of the keyholder to submit accurate data about the
institution. Please contact the IPEDS Help Desk for
clarifications to make sure that you are reporting
correctly.

Changes to This Year's IC Component:

All of the Part B Admissions questions have been moved to the
new Admissions (ADM) component. A screening question
on IC-Header will determine if your institution is
required to complete ADM in the Winter
Collection.

Estimated enrollment numbers were part of the admissions
questions in IC, but was not moved to the new ADM
component. Starting this year, IPEDS will no longer
collect estimated enrollment numbers.

A new question on the services and programs for military
servicemembers and veterans has been added and placed in
Part B of IC, which used to have the admissions
questions.

Common Errors
Quality control reviews
of past IC data indicate frequently made errors. Please
review the common errors below to ensure accurate
reporting. Additional common errors or tips can be found
in the New Keyholder Handbook under Resources.

Question 2 should
only be marked 'YES' if your institution is
EXCLUSIVELY distance education. Do not mark
'YES' if your courses/programs are also available in
person.

Do not try to
outsmart fatal errors; this is falsifying data. Contact
the Help Desk to override, or fix, the data.

Make sure you
understand ALL definitions before responding to
questions. For example, make sure that you are
reporting for an 'ACADEMIC YEAR' or 'PROGRAM' as
defined by IPEDS.

If you make any exceptions to this rule, and
have even one first-time, full-time student living
