"institutions may be granted an extension to April 8, 2026, provided they meet two required conditions by the regular March 18 keyholder deadline. Those include completing all the Admissions and Consumer Transparency Supplement survey screening questions for all seven reporting years and uploading data for any three ACTS reporting years to the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System Data Collection System."
"the agency is granting limited extensions to the reporting deadline where institutions have shown a good faith effort to comply and extraordinary circumstances warranting extension."
"Most selective four-year colleges and universities are on the hook to submit massive amounts of disaggregated admissions data-including the test scores, grade point averages, race, sex and income ranges of applied, admitted and enrolled students dating as far back as 2019."
The Education Department is offering conditional three-week extensions on its deadline for submitting admissions data through the ACTS survey, which was added to IPEDS by the Trump administration. Institutions can receive extensions to April 8, 2026, if they complete all Admissions and Consumer Transparency Supplement survey screening questions for seven reporting years and upload data for any three ACTS reporting years by the March 18 deadline. The partial extension follows AIR's request for a three-month extension, as institutions faced only 90 days to complete the new ACTS survey after the rule finalized in December. Selective four-year colleges must submit disaggregated admissions data including test scores, GPAs, race, sex, and income ranges for applicants, admitted students, and enrollees dating back to 2019.
