| 2022-23 | The following changes were implemented for the 2022-23 data collection period: The ‘Nonresident alien’ category has been changed to 'U.S. Nonresident’ but should include the same category of students. A gender question has been added at the end of the collection to collect information about students for whom gender does not fit the binary gender (Men/Women) categories provided. Institutions should still allocate those students to the Men/Women category throughout the rest of the survey component at this time. There are also new FAQs to help with questions about the new reporting. Added FAQ (#20) on reporting of undocumented and DACA students in race/ethnicity categories. Changed the existing instructions for r/e reporting in student surveys to include information on reporting Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and undocumented students Method of reporting aggregate data - Institutions must report aggregate data to the U.S. Department of Education using the NINE categories below.
