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 that 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
NOTE: Participants may only enroll in ONE keyholder course at a time. If you have more than 9 months of experience we recommend enrolling in AIR's IPEDS Keyholder Efficiencies course instead.
This course will be offered again in September 2023.
