Prior Year Data Revision System

  • The data collection system is available to allow institutions to correct errors in their prior year data submissions. All surveys are available for revision from one week after the current year fall collection opens through the closing of the current year spring collection, including the time periods between the collections.
  • Institutional characteristics data are NOT subject to change. You may correct prior year "Price of Attendance" data on the current survey if necessary.
  • If you failed to respond to one or more of the prior year surveys, you may supply your missing data using this system.

Revise Data:

Survey is Locked:

  1. First determine who administered the final (last) lock. To identify that person, go to the "Reports" menu, and select "Review Plan." The person who made the final lock has the highest number in the "Lock" column.
  2. If you made the final lock, contact the Help desk to unlock the survey. Otherwise you must contact the person who made the final lock about revising the data. Help desk: 1-877-225-2568, ipedshelp@rti.org.
  3. The Help desk will unlock the final (last) lock only.
  4. After entering and saving any revised data, click the link to Perform Edits on the Surveys screen, and resolve any edit problems that may appear.
  5. You must then re-lock the survey. You will receive a confirmation email that your survey data have been locked.

Note: Login using your current year's UserID and password. This will start with P7 if you are a keyholder.

Survey is Not Locked

  1. Data may be entered by the keyholder, or by a coordinator who has "Update"access to the institution's data. To identify those with access to the data, go to the "Reports" menu, and select "Review Plan." Each person with access to the data is identified, as is the lock order for submitting data. The first locker is the person with the lowest number in the Lock column
  2. Enter and save your data.
  3. Click the link "Perform Edits" on the Surveys screen, resolve any edit problems that appear, and lock your data. You will receive a confirmation email that your survey has been locked.

WARNING:

The availability of this system DOES NOT IMPLY that institutions are no longer required to report data according to the 2007-08 IPEDS collection schedule. This is NOT an extension of your due date and the office of Federal Student Aid will continue to take appropriate action against schools that do not meet their IPEDS reporting requirements.
