The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is the national data collection system for higher education and the Office of Research and Accountability acts as the coordinator for New Jersey. Participants in our Student Unit Record (SURE) system have significant portions of their federal IPEDS surveys completed for them. In addition to completing surveys during the three IPEDS web-based collections, New Jersey institutions are required to complete additional state-specific forms via email submission of Excel spreadsheets. The schedule for this year’s IPEDS reporting cycle follows.
