All branch campuses at my institution have been assigned the form in the IDEx but not all of them have nursing programs. How do I report them?
- We require that all data submissions be broken out by campus. Since your institution is approved for the High Needs Nursing Program, we automatically assigned the forms to all your campuses. You only need to complete the form for those campuses that have eligible nursing degree programs. The form can be left unsubmitted for your other campuses. If you would like to be sure that we know why you have only submitted the form for certain campuses, you can always submit a ticket using higheredsupport.nysed.gov to let us know.
What happens if the institution fails to submit the data by the due date?
- The institution will be ineligible to receive an allocation payment for the academic year.
How does a new institution become eligible for the High Needs Nursing Program?
- The institution must complete an Application for Participation and submit it for approval by September 15th.
- The application can be found on the forms page.
College Catalog
We do not have a PDF of our institution’s college catalog; can we submit the URL/web address?
- A URL or web address is not sufficient to meet the requirements of submitting the College Catalog. A PDF of your institution’s college catalog is required for two reasons: 1) The New York State Education Department Office of College and University Evaluation needs the catalog to determine the current status and requirements for academic programs; and 2) The Office of the New York State Comptroller needs the catalog in effect at the time TAP audits are done. Therefore, a constantly changing on-line catalog does not meet these regulatory needs.
Our institution has two catalogs, one for undergraduate programs and one for graduate programs. How do I upload both?
- If you have more than one catalog, you can select Add File in the IDEx after you upload your first catalog.
Our institution’s main and branch campus share the same catalog. Can I submit it just once?
- If the main institution and all its campuses have the same catalog, you may submit only one catalog under the main institution. Please send an email to higheredsupport@nysed.gov letting us know this so we can check the branch campuses off as having submitted.
- Separate catalogs must be submitted for the main campus and its branch campuses if they have different catalogs.
Directory of Off-Campus Instructional Locations (NYSED-8)
Are institutions required to complete the form if they have no off-campus locations?
- The Directory of Off-Campus Instructional Locations is a required form for all institutions.
I am unable to enter new locations, I keep receiving an error message.
- Please try using Google Chrome or Firefox as your browser. Internet Explore does not work well with our applications and may give you errors. If you continue to have issues, please email a screenshot of the error to higheredsupport@nysed.gov.
How do I delete a location?
- You can’t delete a location, but you can change the Location status to inactive if no instruction is taking place at that location.
I don't see where to enter the course registration and location information.
- Click on the location name to expand the section and see all the location information.

Is there a way to sort the locations by name?
- We currently do not have a sort feature. We are discussing with our technical team to see if we can add it as an enhancement to this report in the future.
Where are the instructions for this report?
