General Details:OnlineSMART generates data for the following sections required in Winter IPEDS: Student Financial Aid, Graduation Rates, and 200% Graduation Rates. The Admissions section, deals with school information and is not able to be completed by the system. Most schools would not qualify for the Outcome Measures portion, but SMART Support may have some ideas depending on a school’s procedures if you do need information for this section.
Make sure all CIP codes are entered for each qualifying course under the Administration > Courses section.
This guide will break down each report that is found within OnlineSMART.net for the 2022/2023 Winter IPEDS and outline the data being pulled in particular so you may audit your data accordingly.
Exclusions from the IPEDS:
1. These reports exclude any student in a course with no CIP code. If the student’s course does require a CIP code, make sure that it has been entered underAdministration > Course > CIP Code; if the course is not supposed to have a CIP code, enter a zero (0).
2. These reports exclude any student who dropped within 4 days if they are in a course less than 900 Hrs, and 14 Days if they are in a course greater the 900 Hrs. These students can be found on the Student List reports associated to either 12-month Enrollment or Fall Completions.
Graduation Rates 200
13 - 200% Graduation Rates
This report looks at your full time, first time students that originally started a course that has a CIP code within the reporting range (9/1/2018 – 8/31/2019) and further categorizes them based on them dropping, graduating, or still being enrolled. This report relies on Enrollment Type, Grade Level, and Original Start Date; so you can run the 14 - 200% Graduation Rates List of Students to ensure those boxes are not blank.
The 14 - 200% Graduation Rates List of Students is provided to assist in detailing which students make up the numbers in OnlineSMART. To confirm these numbers, perform the following tasks:
1) Export the 14 - 200% Graduation Rates List of Students to Excel
2) Click into Cell A1 and within theHometab, go to Sort & Filter and click the Filter icon
For 06 Additional exclusions (between 151%-200% of normal time):
oFilter Enrollment Type (Column D) for FULL
oFilter Grade Level (Column E) for First Year, Never Attended
oFurther filter by Additional Exclusions (Column Q) for Y.
For 08 Number of students in the cohort who completed a program between 151%-200% of normal time to completion:
oFilter Enrollment Type (Column D) for FULL
oFilter Grade Level (Column E) for First Year, Never Attended
oFurther filter by 151-200% Completer (Column R) for Y.
For 09 Still enrolled as of 200% of normal time to completion:
oFilter Enrollment Type (Column D) for FULL
oFilter Grade Level (Column E) for First Year, Never Attended
oFurther filter by Still Enrolled at 200% (Column S) for Y. As Enrollment Type, Grade Level, and Original Start Date are important fields for this report, ensure that none of your students within the 14 - 200% Graduation Rates List of Students report have a blank entry for these fields.
Graduation Rates
The Graduation Rates section varies in appearance depending on how your school categorizes itself. Because of this, the SMART reports take the extensive side to detail more screen for the 2-year institutions, and steps will be listed for the less-than-2-year institutions that don’t need to report as much data as well.
FOR 2-YEAR INSTITUTIONS:
You will be required to complete 5 screens
These report looks at your full time, first time students that originally started a course that has a CIP code within the reporting range (9/1/2019 – 8/31/2020), categorizes them based on gender and race, and then further breaks down that categorization. This report relies on Sex, Race, Enrollment Type, and Grade Level; so you can run the 12 - Graduation Rates List of Students to ensure those boxes are not blank.

FOR LESS THAN 2-YEAR INSTITUTIONS: You will be required to complete only 2 screens. You will print out all 5 Graduation Rates reports and find the corresponding column that they are asking of you. The only exception is that Column 10 is the same exact data as Screen 1 Column 1.
The chart below is a reference for what data you'll need to input to IPEDS and which SMART report you can find it on.

Student Financial Aid
The Student Financial Aid section of IPEDS categorizes qualifying students and then looks at the information entered on their Fin Aid tab. Financial Aid reports do not look at the ledger as a student may be awarded a higher amount of financial aid, but choose not to accept all of it against their balance.

02 Income Level
This portion of IPEDS finds a cohort of students and divides them by their income level. Columns 2 and 3 reference the same information (students and their financials), but column 1 references a different cohort. Due to this, it’s best to run two student list reports when verifying these numbers.
These queries with the default dates helps you get the 2021-2022 figured, if trying to retrieve information for the 2 prior years, change the Start Date and End Date in the 06 - Financial Aid Part A to E Student List report for the corresponding year.
