This window allows you to view IPEDS reports and to generate a key value pair text file for import on the NCES website.
The Regulatory Reporting window displays reports of the IPEDS counts for Completions, 12-Month Enrollment, Fall Enrollment, GRS, and Outcome Measures. The Institutional Research Student Data collection process collects data for these reports. The EF Report to Use setting in the IPEDS Configuration window determines the reports that are displayed.
The Regulatory Reporting window has a header and two tabs: Report and Web Import File. Values saved in the USER_PREFERENCES table are used in the header when the window is initially opened: form, snapshot, and the report displayed in the Regulatory Forms drop-down list. Both tabs are available, but the Report tab is displayed by default.

This window collects Legal Name. If a user doesn't have permission to view Legal Name, then options that use Legal Name are hidden. |
The Regulatory Forms drop-down list is populated with the last used form saved in the USER_PREFERENCES table, but it can be edited. The drop-down list displays IPEDS Purpose Codes to which you have permissions.
The Reporting Date/Snapshot Date drop-down list is populated depending on the value selected in the Regulatory Forms drop-down list. The Report Year, Snapshot Date, Purpose Description, and Snapshot ID are displayed for each option in the list.
When you select a Part for the Form and Snapshot selected in the header, the data is retrieved and displayed on the Report tab. In some cases, the report allows you to drill down to the ID Numbers and names. You can also customize the report and/or print the report. A Print All Parts button allows you to print all of the parts for the IPEDS report selected in the Regulatory Forms drop-down list.
Because of the way the Fall Enrollment Part A report is designed, it does not print when you click the Print All Parts button. Expand the report to the level of detail you wish to print and click the Print button.

NCES requires all reporting to be done through the Web (paper documents are not accepted). As noted on the report, you may manually enter the data; however, this tab allows you to create and/or select the .txt file to import data into the NCES reporting website. The layout of the .txt file meets the Import Specification on the NCES website.
