Compliance Notice: Mandatory Reporting Requirements for Institutions with Program Participation Agreements.
Section 490 of the Higher Education Amendments of 1992 (P.L. 102-325) requires that “institutions will complete surveys conducted as part of the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS)…in a timely manner and to the satisfaction of the Secretary”. Thus, reporting to IPEDS is mandatory for 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)).
