Web-Based Tutorials

The Association of Institutional Research has created tutorial pages for the IPEDS web-based data collection system. This resource is designed to assist users with their IPEDS data at the institutional level, using survey-specific tutorials. These tutorials will help the users identify sources at these institutions where the data can be found, as well as give them guidance in the best practices of reporting and reviewing their data.
