Key Dates
The dates below represent important markers for Strategic Analysis throughout the year. They include closing dates for reports to the Department of Education’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV). They also include dates on which snapshots are pulled for student enrollments and faculty and staff counts. Note, however, that these snapshot dates mark only the initial phase of the processes to finalize the datasets and begin the updates to our web tables and reports.
