Data Reports

Common Data Set

The Common Data Set (CDS) initiative is a collaborative effort among data providers in the higher education community and publishers as represented by the College Board, Peterson’s, and U.S. News & World Report.

The combined goal of this collaboration is to improve the quality and accuracy of information provided to all involved in a student’s transition into higher education, as well as to reduce the reporting burden on data providers.The CDS is a set of standards and definitions of data items rather than a survey instrument or set of data represented in a database.

Each of the higher education surveys conducted by the participating publishers incorporates items from the CDS as well as unique items proprietary to each publisher. Consequently, the publishers’ surveys differ in that they utilize varying numbers of items from the CDS.

IPEDS

IPEDS is the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. It is a system of interrelated surveys conducted annually by the U.S. Department’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). IPEDS gathers information from every college, university, and technical and vocational institution that participates in the federal student financial aid programs.

The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, requires that institutions that participate in federal student aid programs report data on enrollments, program completions, graduation rates, faculty and staff, finances, institutional prices, and student financial aid.

These data are made available to students and parents through the College Navigator college search Web site and to researchers and others through the IPEDS Data Center.

Current IPEDS Reports

Due to the possibility of personally identifying certain students, faculty, or staff, some surveys are currently not available for distribution.

You can look up our Institution’s profile and characteristics by year on the IPEDS website.

State Reporting

The Census Student Enrollment Report PSR-1 collects unduplicated enrollment data and credit counts for the fall and spring census dates (October 15th, March 15th).

The Annual Student Enrollment Report PSR-1 Annual collects unduplicated enrollment data for one academic year leading with the summer term as of the end of each term.

The PSR-1.5 Yearly Credit Hour Report collects credit hours for the total academic year by two-digit CIP codes and represents the yearly academic credit house production of an institution.

These reports shall be used by the State Board Office to evaluate enrollment trends and may be used for other maters as requested or approved by the State Board of Education.

These are current Reports and Publications made available by the State Board of Education.

Student Achievement Measure

The Student Achievement Measure (SAM) provides a comprehensive picture of student progress on their path to earning a college degree or certificate. As compared to the limitations of typical graduation rate measures, SAM reports more outcomes for more students. SAM (Student Achievement Measure)
