Attachment VI
Cognitive Interview Survey Items

During the cognitive/usability testing, respondents will be encouraged to “think aloud” when answering survey questions. Respondents who bring their own devices will take the survey on their own devices, others will take the survey on a provided laptop. General probes will also be used during this testing as needed. These general probes are broad questions that aim to identify any source of confusion a respondent may experience and help determine the level of respondent understanding (see attachment V for general probes used). In addition, some specific probes will be administered to each respondent on predetermined items after each item is administered. These specific probes will garner feedback to particular questions of interest about student enrollment, education experiences, financial aid, financial literacy, employment, and usability of the survey, among others.

Table 1 provides the all of the survey items that will be used during testing, with a column that indicates which items will be followed by specific probes during the cognitive interviews. In addition, a hyperlinked Table of Contents for the items with specific probes is provided on page xii. The specific probes being used for each of these items have also been highlighted in the facsimile below.

When answering this question, do not consider any attendance at [NPSAS] for the [NPSAS DEGREE/CLASSES] you began there in the 2010-2011 academic year. Do consider all additional attendance at [NPSAS] for different enrollment. If you are planning to attend [NPSAS] for different enrollment in the future, but have not yet started, please answer "No." Later questions in the survey will ask about future enrollment plans.

Some students earn a certificate as part of their bachelor's degree by taking a specific concentration of academic courses (e.g., Latin American Studies, Women's Studies). Do not include these types of academic certificates when answering this question.

Degrees:

An associate's degree normally requires at least 2, but less than 4 years, of full-time equivalent college work.

A bachelor's degree is usually awarded by a 4-year college or university and usually requires at least 4 years of full-time, college-level work.

A master's degree usually requires at least 2 years of full-time graduate-level work and may require a thesis or a practicum.

A doctoral degree-research/scholarship is a Ph.D. or other doctor's degree that requires advanced work beyond the master's level, including the preparation and defense of a dissertation based on original research, or the planning and execution of an original project demonstrating substantial artistic or scholarly achievement. Some examples of this type of degree may include Ed.D., D.M.A., D.B.A., D.Sc., D.A., or D.M., and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree-professional practice is a doctor's degree that is conferred upon completion of a program providing the knowledge and skills for the recognition, credential, or license required for professional practice. The degree is awarded after a period of study such that the total time to the degree, including both pre-professional and professional preparation, equals at least six full-time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (D.C., or D.C.M.); dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.); law (L.L.B. or J.D.); medicine (M.D.); optometry (O.D.), osteopathic medicine (D.O.); pharmacy (Pharm.D.); podiatry (D.P.M., Pod.D., D.P.); or veterinary medicine (D.V.M.), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree-other is a doctor's degree that does not meet the definition of a doctor's degree-research/scholarship or a doctor's degree-professional practice.

Certificates and Diplomas:

Undergraduate certificates or diplomas usually take less than two years to complete and are usually designed to equip people with the skills needed for direct entry to employment or to earn a license such as a cosmetology license. Other examples include certificates in administrative support, computer programming, and medical records.

A post-baccalaureate certificate provides students who already hold a bachelor's degree with new or additional training in an area of specialization. Certificates typically require fewer course hours than do master's or doctoral degrees, and do not require a thesis or dissertation. Examples of this include certificates in accounting, computer science, and human resource management.

A post-master's certificate usually requires completion of 24 semester credit hours beyond the master's degree but does not meet the requirements of academic degrees at the doctoral level.

Not enrolled for a degree or certificate:

Undergraduate-level classes means taking courses mostly at the undergraduate level but not formally enrolling in a degree or certificate program of any sort.

Graduate level classes are for students who already hold an undergraduate degree or certificate and who are enrolled in graduate-level courses beyond a bachelor's degree, but who are not formally enrolled in a graduate degree program.

Declaring a major (or field of study) is the process of formally identifying your major and typically involves submitting a form, either on paper or online, to the registrar or dean.

If you have more than one declared major (or field of study), answer "Yes, declared a double major."

Answer "No" if you have not yet declared your major, even if you know what you would like to major in.

Formally changing your major typically involves submitting a form, either on paper or online, to the registrar or dean to change your declared major.

Please only count changes from a major that you have formally declared. Do not include the initial change from "Undeclared" to a declared major in this count.

Help Text

Mostly undergraduate-level classes means taking courses mostly at the undergraduate level but not formally enrolling in a degree or certificate program of any sort.

Mostly graduate-level classes are for students who already hold an undergraduate degree or certificate and who are enrolled in graduate-level courses beyond a bachelor's degree, but who are not formally enrolled in a graduate degree program.

A master's degree usually requires at least 2 years of full-time graduate-level work and may require a thesis or a practicum.

A doctoral degree-other is a doctor's degree that does not meet the definition of a doctor's degree-research/scholarship or a doctor's degree-professional practice.

Next, we want to ask you about your long-term plans for school and work. Because these are questions about the future, if you aren’t sure of your answers, please provide your best guess.

What is the [helplink] highest level of education [end helplink] you ever expect to complete at any school?

Help Text

Indicate the highest level of education that you ever expect to complete at any school. If you do not plan to pursue any education beyond what you are currently working on, indicate your current degree, certificate, or classes.

Undergraduate level courses, no undergraduate degree or certificate expected means taking courses at the undergraduate level but not expecting to formally enroll in a degree or certificate program of any sort.

An associate's degree normally requires at least 2, but less than 4 years, of full-time equivalent college work.

A bachelor's degree is usually awarded by a 4-year college or university and usually requires at least 4 years of full-time, college-level work.

Graduate level courses, no graduate degree or certificate expected means already holding an undergraduate degree or certificate and enrolling in graduate-level courses beyond a bachelor's degree, but not expecting to formally enroll in a graduate degree program.

A master's degree usually requires at least 2 years of full-time graduate-level work and may require a thesis or a practicum.

A post-master's certificate usually requires completion of 24 semester credit hours beyond the master's degree but does not meet the requirements of academic degrees at the doctoral level.

A professional doctoral degree is a doctor's degree that is conferred upon completion of a program providing the knowledge and skills for the recognition, credential, or license required for professional practice. The degree is awarded after a period of study such that the total time to the degree, including both pre-professional and professional preparation, equals at least six full-time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (D.C., or D.C.M.); dentistry (D.D.S. or D.M.D.); law (L.L.B. or J.D.); medicine (M.D.); optometry (O.D.), osteopathic medicine (D.O.); pharmacy (Pharm.D.); Podiatry (D.P.M., Pod.D., D.P.); or veterinary medicine (D.V.M.), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A doctoral degree, research/scholarship is a Ph.D. or other doctor's degree that requires advanced work beyond the master's level, including the preparation and defense of a dissertation based on original research, or the planning and execution of an original project demonstrating substantial artistic or scholarly achievement. Some examples of this type of degree may include Ed.D., D.M.A., D.B.A., D.Sc., D.A., or D.M., and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

Remedial or developmental courses are used to strengthen your skills in math, reading, or other subjects. Students are usually assigned to these courses on the basis of a placement test taken before the school year begins. Often, these courses do not count for credit toward graduation.

Since [{if B17ADIPL = 5} high school {else} you completed your high school requirements] [{if T_B4JULY = 0} and through June 30, 2016, did you take {else} have you taken] any remedial or developmental courses to improve your basic skills in English, math, reading, or writing?

Help Text

Sometimes remedial classes are also called developmental classes, pre-curriculum classes, basic skills classes, or have other names as designated by the school.

If you failed a course in the standard curriculum and had to take the same course over again, do not count this course as a remedial course.

Answer "Yes" if you took any remedial courses at any school since you completed high school. You do not have to consider whether you took remedial classes at any particular school when answering this question.

Help Text

Indicate whether you participated in any of the following as part of your undergraduate education.

An example of a research project with a faculty member outside of course or program requirements, is one where students and faculty members collaborate on research that is not required to pass a course or to complete program requirements. This research could be faculty-led research or student-led research.

A community based project as part of a regular course (for example, service learning) can also be referred to as “experiential learning” and often allows for direct experience with topics related to a class or an ongoing issue in the community.

Culminating senior experiences, such as a capstone course, senior project or thesis, or comprehensive exam, often ask students to create a project, take a course, or take a comprehensive exam which integrates and applies what they've learned throughout their college experience.

A program in which you were mentored might involve having individuals who are adults or older students available for guidance acting as a role model to help students reach their full academic potential.

A learning community or some other formal program where groups of students take two or more classes together could be programs that encourage integration of learning across courses, and involve students with issues beyond the classroom by exploring common topics and/or common readings of a discipline.

Indicate whether you took out private or alternative loans for the 2010-2011 school year (July 1, 2011-June 30, 2012). Include private loans for all schools you attended in 2010-2011. Do not include Parent PLUS loans, grants or scholarships, or money borrowed from family or friends.

Private loans, also known as alternative loans, are offered by private lenders. (Some common characteristics of private loans are noted below.)

With private loans there are no federal application forms to complete.

Are you currently repaying your private loans for your undergraduate education?

Help Text

If you are currently repaying any private student loans, even if you are still in your deferment period, please answer "Yes."

Deferred or delayed loan payments are put off until a later date.

Deferment of private loans is on a loan-by-loan basis and often varies among lenders.

In order to defer private loan payments, generally, the borrower must apply online on the lender's website, over the telephone, via fax or through postal mail.

The application may also require supporting documentation, such as a copy of your paycheck stub, unemployment compensation statement, disability award letter or a certified letter from your school verifying your enrollment status.

If you are not currently repaying your private loans and have an agreement with the lender of these loans to delay or defer payment, answer "No, because I have an agreement with my lender to delay or defer payments."

Some examples of commonly used private loans include:

Sallie Mae Smart Option Loan

Benefits are a type of non-monetary employee compensation provided in addition to salary. Answer "Yes" for each benefit your employer offered to you, regardless of whether or not you used the benefit.

Health insurance pays all or part of the costs for your medical, dental, vision, or other health care. It may be either completely employer-paid, or offered at a reduced rate as an employee-paid benefit.

Life insurance provides a predetermined amount of money to the family member or other person you have identified to receive the support in case of death. It may be either completely employer-paid, or offered at a reduced rate as an employee-paid benefit.

Retirement benefits are funds that you, your employer, or both, can set aside to invest while you are working. In defined benefit plans (sometimes called pension plans), at the time of retirement, employees are provided a set amount based on salary or years of service. In defined contribution plans like a 401(k)/403(b), both employee and employer contribute specific amounts but the benefit available upon retirement is tied to investment earnings.

Help Text

The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program pays benefits to disabled adults and children who have limited income and resources. It is designed to help aged, blind, and disabled people who have little or no income and provides cash to meet basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter.

The federal Food Stamp Program was renamed Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Some state program names may vary. States typically issue SNAP benefits through electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards that are used to purchase eligible food in authorized retail food stores, farmers' markets, etc. EBT cards work like debit cards.

TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) payments provide financial assistance to families with limited resources. The assistance is time-limited (typically a maximum of 60 months).

Household size and family income are used to determine eligibility for free or reduced price school lunches in theFree and Reduced Price School Lunch program.

WIC (the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children) is an assistance program for low-income pregnant women or new mothers, infants, and children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk. WIC provides nutrition education, supplemental foods, health screenings, and health care referrals.
