Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

Where is the Annual Report located?
The Annual Report login page can be found at:  http://neasc.server101.com/cihe/ar/arlogin.php

Can you send me my institution's User Name and Password?
To maintain the security and accuracy of the data in an institution's Annual Report, the User Name and Password are sent only to the institution's President.  Requests to have the User Name and Password resent to the President can be made to Kaslong Nda at: knda@neasc.org.

How can I change my institution's User Name and/or Password?
Log into the Annual Report website using your institution's current User Name and Password, and then click on the hyperlink text near the top of the page, "View and/or edit your registration information by clicking here."  You'll be taken to a page that will let you change either or both of these.

How can I see what was reported on last year's Annual Report?
Follow the link on the "Main Menu" page.

How do I revise data after submitting our Annual Report?
Contact Kaslong Nda at: knda@neasc.org to have your Report unlocked.

How do I change the contact person on file for our institution?
Each institution can manage its contact information from the Annual Report website.  Once you've logged into the Annual Report, clink on the hyperlink text near the top of the page, "View and/or edit your registration information by clicking here."  You'll be taken to a page that will allow you to update your institution's contact person.

Section 1  General Information and Catalog

My institution's catalog for the coming year won't be ready in time for your April 20 deadline.  What should I do?
Note this in the text box at the bottom of the form page, and then submit a copy when it becomes available.

Section 3  Enrollment

Why do I have to duplicate numbers that are already reported on IPEDS surveys?  Why can't the Commission get those numbers from IPEDS?
The Commission requests IPEDS data in the Annual Report in an effort to reduce the data collection burden on member institutions.  However, because the IPEDS "12-Month Enrollment" survey figures for Fall 2010 are not yet publicly available, the Commission needs to request the most recent annual FTE figures directly through the Annual Report.

Should I include students enrolled at an off-campus location outside the United States in the enrollment figures?
Yes, please include all students enrolled for credit, no matter where they are located (studying on-ground or at a distance), on this page.

Where do I report graduate students enrolled in a post-Master's program (e.g., CAS, CAPS, CAGS)?
These graduate students should be reported in the row corresponding to the level of the courses they're taking.  If their coursework consists mainly of classes at the Master's level, for instance, report them in the "Master's" row.

Section 6  Off-Campus Locations

One of our off-campus locations moved to a new address just down the street from its previous location.  Do I need to tell you about this?
Yes, the Commission needs to have the current street address of each location at which students can earn 50% or more of a degree or Title IV-eligible certificate, even if it's in close proximity to another or a previous location.  Update the previous location's Status to "Closed" and enter the new location, including the programs offered there, using the directions in Section 6.

My institution offers some courses using Interactive TV (ITV).  Do I need to report these?
Yes.  Since a student taking ITV courses must be in a specific physical location at a specific time, each ITV location needs to be reported as an off-campus location if the student can earn 50% or more of the credits for a degree or a Title IV-eligible certificate.

One of the off-campus locations that was reported last year has been closed.  Do I need to inform you about this?
Yes, the Commission needs to have an updated listing of all your institution's current off-campus locations.  Click on the "Edit" hyperlink to the left of the location name; in the "Status" drop-down box select "Closed;" and record the date it closed in the fields directly below.

The Annual Report is due before my institution finishes enrolling students for the year.  How should I report "total annual enrollment" for our off-campus locations?
Please complete and submit the rest of your Annual Report by the April 20 deadline, and alert Commission staff as to the date by which you will be able to submit the "total annual enrollment" figures.

Section 9  Audit Information

How do I find out whether or not my institution received a qualified or unqualified opinion on the latest audit?
Your Chief Financial Officer (CFO) should have this information.

I answered "Yes" to the question about the audit at the top of the page.  Do I still need to send you our audited financial report?
No, if you received an unqualified opinion from your auditor, then you do not need to send us a copy of your audited financial report.
