You will develop an Excel spreadsheet with 5-year trend data on a variety of key performance indicators and budget items showing the financial status of the selected institution. The US Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics coordinates the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) surveys every year. The IPEDS surveys are federal requirements of all institutions that receive Title IV aid. IPEDS data are especially helpful for enrollment and budget analysts to compare their own institutions with comparative peer institutions. Use link: Retrieving IPEDS Data for Selected Institutions in the Learn section for a helpful video tutorial with the step-by-step instructions. In this assignment, you will download data that are publicly available from IPEDS (if you cannot locate the information from your own institution’s website). Use the most recently available 5 years of reported data for the following most important key performance indicators and budget data that must be included in the spreadsheet: 1.Fall Enrollment Enrollment of first time in college (FTIC) students Enrollment of new transfer students Total undergraduate enrollment Total graduate enrollment Full-time enrollment Part-time enrollment Grand total enrollment 2.Retention Rates Full-time retention rate Part-time retention rate 3.Completions Bachelor’s degrees Master’s and doctoral degrees combined Grand total completions 4.Graduation Rates 150% of normal time 5.Student Financial Aid and Net Price Number of undergraduate students awarded federal, state, local, institutional or other sources of grant aid Percent of undergraduate students awarded federal, state, local, institutional, or other sources of grant aid Average amount of federal, state, local, institutional, or other sources of grant aid awarded to undergraduate students Number of undergraduate students awarded federal student loans Percent of undergraduate students awarded federal student loans Average amount of federal student loans awarded to undergraduate students 6.Frequently Used/Derived Variables
