Overview
Institutional Characteristics Overview
 Welcome to the Institutional Characteristics (IC) survey. This survey collects important information about your institution's mission, admissions, students services, and student charges.

Much of the data reported on the IC survey appear on the NCES College Navigator, a college search service for students. It is important to report data correctly, as College Navigator is only updated one time after IC data have been reviewed, so errors may stay on the website for a full year.

Additionally, the pricing data are used to calculate the net price of attendance in the Student Financial Aid survey. This has important implications for what students see about your institution, and also for the net price watchlists.

Remember, it is the responsibility of the keyholder to provide NCES with accurate data about the institution. Please never hesitate to call the IPEDS Help Desk and ask for help to make sure that you are reporting correctly!
 
 Changes to Institutional Characteristics:
  • Doctor's-Professional Practice tuition will be collected for 9 selected programs.
  • This survey component has been reordered, due to moving some of the items to the IC Header.
 
  
 Reviews of the IC survey indicate a number of places where many people make errors. Please review the common errors listed below to ensure your institution does not make any reporting errors which may affect your institution's appearance to students and others. 
 
  • Do not try to outsmart fatal errors. In some cases, this provides false information to students or may cause an institution to appear on a watch list. Fatal errors are there for a reason - contact the Help Desk at 877.225.2568 and they will happily help you to figure out what you are doing incorrectly, or provide an override if necessary.      
  • Admissions data are for first-time students only.      
  • Many institutions are open admission but indicate that they are not. If your institution only requires a GED or other high school equivalent and/or an ability to benefit test, your institution is open admission.
 
 
  • If your institution makes numerous exceptions to an on-campus housing requirement, you should not indicate that you require students to live on campus. This leads to inconsistent and problematic reporting on the Student Financial Aid survey.      
  • Program reporters need to report tuition, fees, and living expenses for the entire length of the program for which they are reporting. This has major implications for the calculation of net price.
