1. My institution is not getting paid for bachelor’s degrees, only associate’s degrees. Why is that?
A: An institution can only receive aid for either associate’s degrees conferred, or bachelor’s degrees conferred. They cannot receive aid for both. An institution receives aid for associate degrees if they are classified as a 2-yr institution and bachelor’s degrees if they are classified as a 4-yr institution.
2. What forms must I submit to receive Bundy Aid?
A: You will need to submit the Certification of Earned Degrees Conferred (NYSED-2) form and the Estimate of Earned Degrees to be Conferred (NYSED-2A) form, which includes two years of estimates.
3. How do I format the data for my submission?
A: You will need to upload an Excel spreadsheet with your data to the IDEx. Your Excel spreadsheet must match the template exactly. If your submitted spreadsheet does not match or has missing data, we will contact you and ask you to please resubmit. A link to a copy of the template can be found in the Instruction Manual.
- All data must be in one worksheet. Do not break data up between multiple worksheet tabs.
- Do not leave any blank rows between entries.
4. The form requires me to provide the IRP codes for each student’s program of study. Where can these be found?
A: IRP Codes can be found on the Office of College and University Evaluation Inventory of Registered Programs. If you search the IRP by institution, you can get a list of those codes which apply to your institution.
- The IRP codes you submit must be active and must be specific to the institution from which the student is graduating.
5. What happens if the institution fails to submit the NYSED-2 or NYSED-2A data by the due date?
A: The institution will be ineligible to receive allocation payments for the academic year.
