The unique identifiers must be used for reporting and disaggregating data on these institutions, including in surveys, reports, and websites like the College Navigator and College Scorecard. The bill also requires the Department to consider ways to use the identifiers to distinguish between campuses and distance education programs, prevent attempts to evade requirements, and minimize burden on institutions, as well as to create and publish crosswalks indicating changes in the identifiers over time.
