For example, if a summer term began later than usual due to Coronavirus Pandemic postponements, continue to report using the timeframes as defined in the IPEDS instructions. NCES expects that some data reported during the 2021-22 data collection year will vary from established prior trends due to the impacts of Coronavirus Pandemic. If an error edit is triggered even when submitting accurate data, please indicate in the corresponding context box or verbally to the Help Desk that the seemingly inconsistent data are accurate and reflect the effects of Coronavirus Pandemic. Report all data for fiscal year (FY) 2021. Fiscal Year 2021 is defined as the most recent 12-month period that ends before October 1, 2021, that corresponds to the institution’s fiscal year. | Reminder | ||

| 2020-21 | Include data for the main or central academic library and all branch and independent libraries that were open all or part of the Fiscal Year 2020. Branch and independent libraries are defined as auxiliary library service outlets with quarters separate from the central library that houses the basic collection. The central library administers the branches. Libraries on branch campuses that have separate IPEDS unit identification numbers are reported as separate libraries. | Coverage |
