    Type of Review: Revision.
    Title: PEQIS Survey on Dual Enrollment Programs and Courses for 
High School Students.
    Frequency: One time.
    Affected Public: Not-for-profit institutions; State, Local, or 
Tribal Gov't, SEAs or LEAs.
    Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour Burden:
     Responses: 10,518.
     Burden Hours: 7,889.
    Abstract: The Postsecondary Education Quick Information System 
(PEQIS) is for surveys that are quick turnaround, short and policy 
relevant. The surveys go to colleges, universities and other 
postsecondary institutions. This survey will go to 1,600 institutions 
to determine whether they offer dual enrollment for high school 
students in which these students can earn college credit while they are 
still enrolled in high school. Among the issues to be addressed are 
whether students are allowed to enroll in individual classes or whether 
institutions offer dual enrollment programs, where the classes are 
offered and who teaches them.
