2000-2001 Common Data Set
The Common Data Set (CDS) is a collaborative effort between
publishers and the educational community to improve the quality and accuracy
of information provided to all involved in a student's transition into
higher education,as well as to reduce the burden on colleges of compiling
and reporting information. The goal is to develop clear, standard questions
and definitions to determine the specific cohort to which each question
relates, while refraining from the compilation of a single survey instrument
or universal set of survey questions. Questions and definitions used by
the U.S. Department of Education in its college surveys are a guide in
the development of CDS items. Common Data Set items undergo broad review
by secondary schools and two-and four-year colleges.
Those who report data for their colleges are urged to abide
by the definitions and the cohorts specified when answering CDS items.
They are also urged to use the answers to CDs items when responding to
the numerous survey requests they receive, by distributing photocopies
of their answers, posting them on their websites, or by other effective
means.
