IPEDS Changes for 2022-2023

There are changes for IPEDS reporting in 2022-2023:

Your School Must Edit an IPEDS Ethnic / Race Value Definition

For your reports in 2022-2023, edit the Nonresident Alien definition to make "U.S. Nonresident". Here's how:

  1. Access the IPEDS Ethnic/Race Value Definitions window.

  2. Find the row with Nonresident Alien (J1 IPEDS Report Value 1, DOE IPEDS Value 1).

  3. In the Description field, change the text to this: U.S. Nonresident

  4. Click the Save icon on the main menu toolbar. The correct value is now available for IPEDS reports.

A student is counted as U.S. Nonresident in IPEDS reports if

  • Nonresident Alien is selected in the Citizenship Status field (biograph_master.citizenship_sts) on the Student Information (or Name Entity) window, Biograph tab, Master subtab, and

  • Eligible Non-Citizen is not selected on the Student Information (or Name Entity) window, Biograph tab, Ethnic/Race subtab

 

New Eligible Non-Citizen Checkbox

Eligible Non-Citizen is a new checkbox on the Biograph tab, Race/Ethnicity subtab of the Name Entity window and Student Information window.

This checkbox helps determine what race/ethnicity information goes in the IPEDS field on the Ethnic/Race subtab. That field is what is reported to IPEDS for aggregate ethnic/race counts.

When to Select the Eligible Non-Citizen Checkbox

Select the checkbox for students who

If rows already exist, add a new row, make race/ethnicity selections, and then select Eligible Non-Citizen and save.

What Gets Reported

When the checkbox is selected (and Citizenship Status is Nonresident Alien), the student's ethnic/race IPEDS value is whatever ethnic and race values are selected in the Ethnic/Race tab.

 When the checkbox is unselected (and Citizenship Status is Nonresident Alien), the student's ethnic/race IPEDS value is U.S. Nonresident.

New Gender Settings

There's a new Gender Settings group on the IPEDS Configuration window. Its new fields pertain to reporting genders other than M or F. Although in IPEDS reporting the aggregate counts are still M and F, there are now additional counts in a separate part of the report for Other and Unknown. If your school tracks Other and/or Unknown, you can report those in addition to your M or F counts. The M and F counts add up to 100%. The Other counts are separate.

The new fields let you tell IPEDS that you track other gender values and, therefore, have the ability to report Other and/or Unknown.

 If Biograph Gender is not M or F,  the system assigns values in aggregate, not individually) with the percentage of male and female at your school. (It calculates the percentage from ir_student_data.biograph_gender which is populated from biograph_master.gender.) For example, if the school is 60% female (i.e., of the students who have either M or F in ir_student_data.biograph_gender, 60% have F), then 60% of the blanks (or any values besides M or F) get F, and 40% get M.

​​​Set up the new gender settings before you start collecting data to run your next report.

​If you select Can Report Other Gender, the counts of Other and Unknown are taken from the Sex at Birth field and the student's division (student_master.cur_stud_div) and placed in a separate part of the report.

If you don't select Can Report Other Gender, the system enters -2 in the appropriate report fields.

Where the New Gender Fields Go

The new gender fields go in new sections in these reports:

​​​12-Month Enrollment Report Part A Tracks Part Time, Full Time, and Total​​

​Part A (Graduate Students) of the 12-Month report now has columns for part-time students, full-time students, and total students. You don't have to change any setup to populate these columns.
