This workshop is comprised of two modules:

1)      Reporting Student Financial Aid Data to IPEDS- This year, there were changes to the Student Financial Aid component of IPEDS resulting from a new statutory requirement in the Higher Education Opportunity Act to display institutional net price data on the U.S. Department of Education's College Navigator website. This session will summarize the changes in the reporting requirements and provide an overview of major concepts and instructions for reporting student financial aid data to IPEDS.

1)      IPEDS Finance Survey training for IR Professionals- provides Finance Survey training with a focus on IR professionals. This module presents eight objectives including an introduction to higher education finance, GASB vs. FASB, key accounting concepts, a review of the general purpose financial statements and how they relate to the finance survey, common errors, reporting comparison challenges, and finally where and how the data is used. An exercise is included that gives participants a hands-on experience in filling out the IPEDS Finance Survey using data from a fictional university. This module is designed specifically for those persons who are not financial experts and have no training in the field of finance or accounting. Since the Institutional Researcher is typically not the person filling out the IPEDS survey, this section focuses more on a general understanding of higher education finance and how and why the IPEDS Finance data are used.
