IPEDS Outcome Measures and the VFA

History

Student Right to Know – (SRK) – passed in 1990 – final regulations 1999

Colleges required to calculate and disclose Completion or Graduation rates of First-time Full-time students

IPEDS initially collected to assist colleges—reporting not originally required in statute or regulations

Higher Education Act reauthorization (HEOA-2002) added:

required reporting of 100% and 200% normal time graduation rates

Disaggregation by aid status

Recipients of a Federal Pell Grant

Recipients

of a subsidized Stafford Loan who did not receive a Pell Grant

Students

who did not receive either a Pell Grant or a subsidized Stafford

Loan

Outcome Measures introduced (no statutory requirement) 2015 first collection year

2015 data not released (NCES concerns with reporting errors)

2017 modified collection
