Directs the Secretary of Education (the Secretary) by July 1, 1993, to: (1) revise NSLDS codes identifying institutions and students to make them consistent with those in each Department of Education database containing information on participation in Federal student assistance programs; and (2) modify NSLDS design or operation to ensure that data on any institution is readily accessible and can be used in a form compatible with the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).
