How does CPEC get segmental data? Does CPEC get reports directly from the centralized offices of the segment (UC, CSU, CCC, Independent) or does it get the data from IPEDS?
CPEC obtains data from the public segments [systemwide offices] for enrollment and degrees. Independent institution data comes from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). IPEDS data is also used for all segmental aggregated data. The Department of Education provides K-12 data. For additional information, visit the Sources and Timing of Data web page.
