New IPEDS Data Center
AIR Office (air@airweb.org)
NCES announces the release of the new
IPEDS Data Center, a “one-stop-shop” for retrieving IPEDS data.
It replaces the Peer Analysis System (PAS) and Dataset Cutting Tool
(DCT), but maintains all of the functionality of those tools. It also
has new features to improve users’ experiences and serves as an entry
point to the Executive Peer Tool (ExPT) and IPEDS Data Analysis System
(DAS). For a detailed announcement about the Data Center, go to http://www.nces.ed.gov/ipeds/news_room/ana_4_6_2009.asp.
To start using the new Data Center,
go to http://www.nces.ed.gov/ipeds/datacenter. There are three levels
of access, but only two are available through the IPEDS Data Center;
the “Collection level” is accessible only through the Data Collection
System—under the Tools menu, select “Go to Collection Level Data
Center.”
IPEDS Website has a new look – check
it out at http://www.nces.ed.gov/ipeds. The site was redesigned in conjunction
with the launch of the Data Center. Keyholders and coordinators should
visit the “Data Provider Center” at http://www.nces.ed.gov/ipeds/keyholder.
Here you can access the Data Collection System, Prior Year Revision
System, and materials focused specifically on reporting data to IPEDS.
If you’ve been to the new NCES Data
Center and you are ready to begin using this IPEDS tool, AIR has developed
an overview and instructions to help you learn. Go to http://www.airweb.org/ipeds
and click on the Tools and Resources tab. Here you’ll also find videos
on using the Executive Peer Tool, College Navigator, help for new keyholders,
and a list of IPEDS training workshops.
