Welcome to the IPEDS Completions survey component. The Completions component is one of several IPEDS components that is conducted during the Fall data collection period. It collects the number of degrees and certificates awarded by field of study, level of award, race/ethnicity, and gender. The reporting period for the Completions component is during the 12-month time period beginning July 1 of the previous calendar year and ending June 30 of the current calendar year; therefore, for this year’s Completions component, the reporting period is between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022. The Completions component is also collecting the number of students (e.g. completer) who earned awards between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022. |

| 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. | Change | ||
| 2022-23 | The CIP 2020 Website includes a list of new CIP codes, a list of deleted CIP codes, a list of moved CIP Codes, and an online crosswalk of the 2010 CIP and 2020 CIP. | Change | ||
| 2022-23 | 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. | Reminder | ||

| 2021-22 | 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. 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 2020-21 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. | Reminder | ||
