Brisey mentioned that it would be nice to have a workflow defined for each of the surveys. Since some of them already have it, it would just be to make it consistent across the IPEDS knowledge base. - The team agreed!
Kevin will work on documenting workflows in the form of activities/steps for the surveys that don’t have it already. - We don’t believe that diagrams are required at the moment.
We will use some time during the bi-weekly meetings to go through that. Xiaoying will describe how the process is done and we’ll document it.
Kevin will use old diagrams to create a draft which will be reviewed during the meetings.
For next meeting we will review the Workflow for the IC Header survey.

Registration Cycle
The Registration link is sent to the keyholder on the second Wednesday of August. Keyholder is required to share this with the team, since they don’t receive this information directly.
For the 2024-2025 cycle, They divided the survey Institutional Characteristics in two pieces: Institutional characteristics (Due with the registration submission) and Cost (CST) Part I (Due with the Fall Submission). CST I will be completed by ODS.
They also added a new survey, Cost II, which is responsibility of Financial Aid.
General
We have dependencies from IT for all internal surveys, with the exception of Institutional Characteristics.

2/5/2025 | 1 | QA/Data Discrepancies | A data discrepancy was found on the GRS survey regarding: Direct Subsidized Loans that did not receive a Pell Grant”, it looks like the logic needs to be adjusted. Currently, the total includes both Subsidized and Unsubsidized loan recipients. | The survey was approved without implementing changes, however, Valeria recommended the following: This will require some further research and analysis so I am recommending and approving that we proceed with approving and submitting the GRS as it currently stands. We will prioritize the research and analysis needed before the next IPEDS cycle, including validation with our Financial Aid colleagues, updates to queries with IT, updating our internal documentation, etc. |

Financial Aid, Lesson Learned: Double check the questions with them before sending them out to IPEDS. The other option is having them outline the questions in a clear and proper way.
Provide them with clear dates to allow team to finalize sign off or anything.
