NYSED

The New York State Education Department (NYSED) collects and distributes information on the status of higher education in New York State.  Specifically, NYSED's Office of Information and Reporting Services (IRS) is responsible for collecting data from all degree granting institutions in New York State, which includes both public and private institutions. NYSED's IRS uses the Higher Education Data System (HEDS) to collect this information.

The collection and dissemination of this information is established in New York State Education Law §214 and §215 and the Rules of the Board of Regents §3.51. The Regents and Commissioner determine what information is to be submitted and in which report. The Commissioner has authorized the collection of such information using HEDS collection forms. The requirement to submit reports applies to all institutions of higher education and is not limited to institutions that receive Bundy aid or any other form of State or federal aid. For more information please visit the New York State Education Department website.

Below is a list of NYSED reports required on an annual or biannual basis. Copies of submitted reports are included with the year in which they were submitted, but may reflect information from the previous academic year.
