The deadline for institutions to submit data to the Admissions and Consumer Transparency Supplement (ACTS) is Wednesday, March 18, but institutions that require additional time may qualify for an extension, the Association for Institutional Research (AIR) confirmed. Under new guidance, confirmed by leadership at the Institute of Education Sciences (IES), institutions may request an extension by March 18 to submit data to ACTS until Wednesday, April 8. To qualify, institutions must meet two conditions: all ACTS screening questions must be completed for all seven ACTS years, and at least three years of ACTS data files must be uploaded to the IPEDS Data Collection System (DCS). Institutions that meet these two conditions and require additional time must request an extension from the IPEDS Help Desk at (877) 225-2568 or [email protected] by March 18.
