Report data to accurately reflect the time period corresponding with the IPEDS survey component, even if such reporting is seemingly inconsistent with prior- year reporting.
Report each employee only once. If an employee could be coded in more than one occupation, code the employee in the occupation that requires the highest level of skill OR if there is no measurable difference in skill requirements, code the employee in the occupation in which they spend the most time.
Report staff members difficult to categorize in the "Human Resources Survey Evaluation" box at the end of the survey.
Enter data on each displayed screen. If a screen is not applicable, enter at least one zero in a field on the screen and save before continuing.
When reporting salary data (applicable to degree-granting institutions only) include all full-time, non-medical school, instructional staff - both with and without faculty status.
See the instructions for the Key Reporting Concepts section -- basic reporting concepts that will assist you in completing the Human Resources survey component.
