# US College & University Administrator Contacts — U.S. location dataset All 135,434 named people in the U.S., as one CSV: 16 fields per record, 59 states, file built September 15, 2026. $149 one-time, with up to 10 real rows free before you buy. Canonical URL: https://locationlists.com/data/college-administrator-contact-list Every person a US college or university names in a public record — 135,434 people across 6,014 institutions, with their title, our normalised job function (chief administrator, finance, procurement and grants, payments, academic, admissions, athletics, coaching, governance) and, on the IRS rows, their federally reported pay (45,598 rows). Built from IRS Form 990 Part VII officer schedules, SAM.gov entity registrations, the IPEDS chief administrator field and the athletics staff directories colleges publish on their own sites. Every row carries the document or page it came from. Email addresses appear on 12,422 rows and phone numbers on 30,795 — only where the institution publishes them on its own staff directory. Nothing is pattern-generated. One row is one named person — 135,434 of them, the full national file. It is built from the federal IPEDS collection run by the National Center for Education Statistics, the Department of Education's Equity in Athletics Data Analysis collection, the College Scorecard, IRS Form 990 officer schedules, SAM.gov entity registrations, and the staff directories institutions publish on their own athletics sites The federal sources are US government works in the public domain. The athletics staff-directory rows carry the page they were read from and the date they were read. Nothing in it was bought, licensed or taken from another company's product. Measured on every row of this file: a phone number on 22.7%, a person's title on 99.8%. 16 columns in all, and the page lists the fill rate for each one. What is not in it: No email addresses on the institution file. No federal source publishes a contact email for a college, and nothing here is generated from a name and a domain. No campus square footage. No federal collection publishes it. Not a branch-campus list. A university with several campuses under one federal id is one row. No rows from the NCAA member directory. Its terms prohibit republication. ## The figures - Records: 135,434 named people (135,411 US) - States: 59 - Coverage: U.S. - Fields: 16 - Price: $149 one-time, CSV download, commercial license (https://locationlists.com/license) - File built on September 15, 2026.

Building the same list by searching one area at a time tends to miss places, and a missed place looks like a gap in coverage that is not really there. ## Fields - `unitid`: The institution's federal IPEDS identifier — the key every other federal education dataset uses. - `institutionName`: The institution this row belongs to, by its official federal name. - `state`: Two-letter state or territory code. - `personName`: The person's name exactly as the source record publishes it. - `title`: The person's title exactly as the source record publishes it. - `titleFamily`: Our job-function tag, worked out from the published title by rule: chief administrator, finance, procurement and grants, payments, academic, admissions, athletics director, coach, governance or other. - `contactClass`: Whether the person is an officer or staff member, a board member or trustee, a registration contact, or the chief administrator. - `reportedPay`: Reportable compensation the institution published for this person on its IRS Form 990. Blank on rows from any other source. - `compensationYear`: The tax year the reported pay covers. - `phone`: The institution's general telephone number. - `email`: An email address, only where the institution publishes it on its own staff directory page. Blank everywhere else — nothing here is generated from a name and a domain. - `source`: The record this person was read from: the federal directory, an IRS Form 990, a SAM.gov registration, or the institution's own athletics staff directory. - `sourceKey`: The identifier of that record — the Form 990 document id, the SAM.gov entity id, the federal institution id, or the athletics domain. - `sourceUrl`: The federal collection this row was read from. - `referenceYear`: The collection year these figures describe. - `address_quality`: Whether the address is complete, missing a house number, a PO box, or missing a city or ZIP. ## What we did to this data Re-placed 0 misplaced map points, flagged 135,434 incomplete addresses and measured 135,434 rows.

One institution as the federal government counts it — 6,072 of them — located at its main campus address. It is not a campus list: a university with five campuses reporting under one federal id is one row here. The coordinates are the main campus, so a radius or drive-time filter gives you the place the decision gets made. ### Does it name anyone I can write to? Yes, by job. The chief administrator — usually the president or chancellor — is named on 98.8% of records. A named finance, controller, procurement or grants contact is on 59.8%, and 59.9% of institutions carry at least one named person beyond the chief administrator. Those names come from IRS Form 990 officer schedules and SAM.gov registrations, both public domain, and every one is traceable to the document it came from. ### Are there email addresses? Not on this file. No federal source publishes a contact email for a college: IPEDS has no email field, Form 990 has none, and SAM.gov's point-of-contact emails are withheld from the public extract. We do not guess addresses from a person's name and the institution's domain. The separate contacts file does carry email on the rows where an institution publishes it on its own staff directory page, and nowhere else. ### Do you have the athletic director? On 831 institutions — 40.8% of the 2,036 that run an intercollegiate programme. The name is read from the staff directory the school publishes on its own athletics site, so it is only there when the school publishes one. 636 of those rows also carry a published athletics phone number. We do not use the NCAA member directory: its terms do not allow it to be republished. ### What athletics data is in it? For the 2,036 institutions with a programme: the NCAA, NAIA or NJCAA classification, how many sports they sponsor, athlete counts for men and women, and head-coach counts — all from the federal Equity in Athletics collection, which every Title IV institution with a programme must file. An institution with no programme is written as No, not left blank. Sport-by-sport detail is a separate file. ### What financial figures are included? Core revenue and core expenses on 98.2% of records, from the federal finance collection. Public, private non-profit and for-profit institutions report under three different accounting standards, so the file carries whichever one applies plus a column saying which — never a total across the three, which would not mean anything. Published tuition, admission rate and median graduate earnings come from the College Scorecard. ### How complete are the contact details? Measured on every row of this file: a street address on 100.0%, a phone number on 98.8%, a website on 98.8% and map coordinates on 100.0%. The product page lists the fill rate for every column, so nothing is a surprise after you buy it. ### What was cleaned up before you sold it? City names were checked against the US Census place name for their ZIP code, lost leading zeros in ZIP codes were repaired, county names and codes were confirmed against the coordinates, and every row was graded for address completeness. Two campuses of one university at one address are never merged, because the federal institution id guards the check. The processing log on this page lists each step with its count and date. ### How is it different from the free federal data? The federal data is five separate collections that do not join themselves: institutional characteristics, athletics, the College Scorecard, the finance and staffing files, plus Form 990 and SAM.gov for the names. This is those five joined on the federal institution id, with the fuzzy join measured and reported rather than assumed, and with the named contacts sorted into job functions by rule. You can build it yourself; this is a day of work for the price of a lunch. ### How often is it updated? File built on September 15, 2026. It is not on an automatic refresh schedule, so check the build date above before you buy. ### Where exactly does it come from? From the federal IPEDS collection run by the National Center for Education Statistics, the Department of Education's Equity in Athletics Data Analysis collection, the College Scorecard, IRS Form 990 officer schedules, SAM.gov entity registrations, and the staff directories institutions publish on their own athletics sites. The federal sources are US government works in the public domain. The athletics staff-directory rows carry the page they were read from and the date they were read. Nothing in it was bought, licensed or taken from another company's product. ### Is the NCAA directory in it? No. The NCAA publishes a member directory that names the athletic director at nearly every member, but its terms prohibit republishing it in any form. We checked, and we left it out. The athletics names in this file come from the institutions' own published staff directories. ### Does it include campus square footage, enrolment by programme, or rankings? No. No federal collection publishes campus square footage. Programme-level enrolment and any kind of ranking are out of scope; this is a list of institutions with the facts a seller needs to target and address them. ### Can I match it to other lists? Yes. Every row carries the federal IPEDS institution id and, where it exists, the Office of Postsecondary Education id and the IRS employer identification number, so it joins cleanly to federal student-aid data, nonprofit filings and federal contracting records. Coordinates are on nearly every row for matching against any other list of places. ### How is this data cleaned? Every rebuild runs the same steps and counts what each one changed. For the current file, rebuilt September 15, 2026 from nces.ed.gov: Merged 0 duplicate listings that had the same business name, street address and ZIP code, keeping every filled-in detail from both (September 15, 2026). Unified 0 city names written more than one way within the same ZIP code (for example with and without a space or an abbreviation) to the US Census Bureau spelling (September 15, 2026). Corrected 0 misspelled city names to the US Census Bureau place name for their ZIP code (September 15, 2026). Added map coordinates to 0 listings that had none, from the US Census Bureau address geocoder or, where the street address could not be matched, the centre of the ZIP code (September 15, 2026). Checked every map point against the state in its address and re-placed 0 points that fell outside that state (September 15, 2026). Set the county and its federal county code on 0 listings, matched to the US Census Bureau county list from the county the source records, the listing's map point, or its ZIP code area (September 15, 2026). Flagged 135,434 addresses that are incomplete, a PO box, or missing a house number, in an address quality column (September 15, 2026). Checked that the row count, state count and field completeness published for this file were measured from the file itself (September 15, 2026). ### Isn't this free on nces.ed.gov? The underlying records are public on nces.ed.gov. What you pay for is the work between that public release and this file: re-placed 0 misplaced map points, flagged 135,434 incomplete addresses and measured 135,434 rows. The current file was rebuilt September 15, 2026 from nces.ed.gov. Doing it yourself means downloading the full release, repeating each of those steps, and repeating them again every time the source updates. ### How complete is each field? Measured on every row of the current file, the share of rows that carry each key field: email 9%, phone 23%, state 100%. 12 of 16 columns are filled on at least half the rows.
