# Set up your data for IPEDS Admissions processing

> - One row per person

> - Columns with values and types as described below (additional columns are allowed)

This population should meet IPEDS rules for inclusion on this report (those seeking to be admitted to undergraduate programs as first-time full-time degree/certificate seekers, including transfer students).
