IPEDS Keyholder Essentials: A Beginner's Guide

Created for data providers with less than 9 months of experience as keyholders, this mentor-supported course covers basic concepts and definitions, such as what IPEDS is, components that make up an IPEDS submission, IPEDS requirements and your responsibilities as a Keyholder, and tips and tricks on how to complete accurate and timely IPEDS submissions.

This curriculum is intended for both officially designated IPEDS Keyholders as well as individuals who serve in a secondary (proxy Keyholder) role assisting the official IPEDS Keyholder in the data collection/entry process.

Highlights

  • No tuition charge to participants
  • Mentor supported
  • Self-paced curriculum over the course of one month

Space is limited to 200 participants per course, and online seating is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If your application is accepted, you will receive an email 1–2 business days before the course launches with information on how to access the course.
