AIR is gathering feedback from institutions on the upcoming Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System changes. The AIR IPEDS survey focuses on the new data collection component, the Admissions and Consumer Transparency Supplement, beginning in the 2025-2026 collection cycle. This proposed ACTS supplement would mandate the reporting of detailed data on both undergraduate and graduate student admissions, raising important considerations regarding institutional burden, data quality, and implementation feasibility.

Why This Matters
The Department of Education is pursuing significant accountability and transparency initiatives through FVT/GE reporting and other IPEDS changes. The efforts have broader implications for institutions, requiring coordinated compliance and accurate reporting. These new reporting requirements will impact our ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ members, and you will need to plan accordingly to build them into your workflow.
ÐãÉ«Ö±²¥ is working closely with AIR, ACE, APLU, and NAICU to actively collect input to help shape our advocacy and implementation guidance. Your insights will help inform the associations’ collective response to the proposed changes and ensure that the perspectives of professionals responsible for institutional reporting are fully represented in ongoing policy discussions.
