Higher Education Reporting
Colleges, universities, and other postsecondary institutions are required by numerous statutes to submit annual reports on several topics to the Pennsylvania Department of Education. These mandatory reports are consolidated into a single form to facilitate compliance with reporting requirements in one submission.
The next deadline for reporting is March 1, 2024. ASEP reporting is due January 15, 2024.
