Online Tutorials for IPEDS Data Submission

The Association for Institutional Research (AIR), with support from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), offers free online tutorials for completing IPEDS surveys. The tutorials available on AIR’s website ( http://www.airweb.org/IPEDStutorials) are around 3 minutes in length and provide an overview of key concepts, such as Edit Explanations vs. Context Boxes and Who Counts as a First-time Student. Tutorials for the 2011-12 Fall IPEDS survey components are currently available. Please note that links to these tutorials are also available from the survey screens, so you can easily view them while you are submitting your data.
