This Week In IPEDS (TWII)

IPEDS-participating institutions are reminded to confirm and/or update their Net Price Calculator URL which is collected by IPEDS. This URL needs to go directly to the institution's Net Price Calculator, not to another landing page.

All institutions eligible to provide federal student aid, and enroll first-time, full-time undergraduates, are required under the Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965 (as amended) to make available, on their institution's website, a Net Price Calculator. The URL for the net price calculator is collected on the IPEDS Institution Identification Page. For helpful information about this, and other, consumer information required under the HEA, please see the NCES publication: Information Required to Be Disclosed Under the Higher Education Act of 1965: Suggestions for Dissemination (https://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2010831rev)

Note that the Net Price Calculator URL is utilized by College Scorecard (https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/) and other websites, and the calculator must be updated annually.
