Use the Glossary available on the IPEDS site. Refer to the New Keyholders Handbook which

IPEDS Changes and Updates – 2013 Reminder About Context Boxes

Differ from explanations in that they allow the institution to provide more information about the data reported.

Some context box information is posted to College Navigator, so the content should be easily understood by students, parents, and the general public, and free from grammatical and spelling errors.

NCES staff will not publish information that doesn’t correspond with the data, or is not appropriate for public consumption.
