Accreditation and Compliance

External Reporting and Accountability

  • IPEDS
    Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) data submissions occur on a cyclic basis throughout the academic year and include surveys of Institutional Characteristics, Completions, and 12-Month Enrollment in the fall; Human Resources in the winter; and Fall Enrollment, Graduation Rates, Student Financial Aid, and Finance in the Spring. The SUNY System Administration coordinates much of the work with IPEDS.

Resources for Accountability

    Assists colleges and universities as they "improve their management capability" by disseminating the latest managerial concepts and tools in the hands of working administrators on college and university campuses.
  • IPEDS Peer Analysis System and Peer Executive Tool - National Center for Education Statistics
    Offers public access to a universe of educational data and statistics compiled by the NCES.
  • The Association for Institutional Research

  • Society for College and University Planning
    Presents information for those involved in all aspects of higher education planning, including institutional research.
