CIP Code Rules Guide

Use this workbook to define which CIP codes have changed from the 2010 to the 2020 year.

Overview

Beginning in the 2020-2021 Award Year, new 2020 Classification of Instructional Program (CIP) codes are introduced by the U.S. Department of Education (ED). This change occurs approximately every 10 years for program reporting purposes. This workbook is used to define which CIP codes have changed from the 2010 to the 2020 year. Any changed CIP codes from 2018-2019 to 2019-2020 should include a row in this workbook. This configuration enables the correct CIP code for an academic program to be communicated to COD if its CIP code has been changed from the 2010 year CIP classification to the 2020 year CIP classification.

Note: This configuration is only required for schools that have originations for 2019-2020 and prior Award Years.
