This appendix provides the survey facsimile for the 2020/25 Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study (BPS:20/25) field test.

The goal of the BPS:20/25 field test survey is to follow up with students whose first postsecondary enrollment after high school occurred during the 2018-2019 academic year and were last contacted in 2021 for the 2020/22 Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study. In the survey, respondents will provide an update of their enrollment and employment history as well as financial aid, income and expenses, and demographic information, through the 2023-2024 academic year.

To maintain key longitudinal measures across BPS cohorts, the BPS:20/25 field test survey content is initially drawn from the first follow-up survey of the BPS cohort, BPS:20/22 (OMB #1850-0631 v. 19). Additional new content is drawn from the NPSAS:24 field test survey (OMB #1850-0666 v. 34) to collect information of emerging interest, such as participation in the gig economy. Data elements brought forward from BPS:20/22 full-scale will enable longitudinal analysis of new topics including academic experiences and activities, emergency aid, and student basic needs (e.g., housing and food security).

Most question wording for the BPS:20/25 field test survey remains unchanged from how it was administered in prior studies (dates have been updated to reflect the timeframe of interest). However, some modifications of wording were based on results from BPS:20/25 Student Survey Focus Groups (OMB #1850-0803 v.336) or recommendations from the Technical Review Panel (Appendix A), noted in table 1. A summary of the focus group testing results is in Appendix D. Revisions to the survey are intended to reflect current research goals and improve data quality.

Survey questions that determine eligibility will not be included in the BPS:20/25 survey. Sample members who did not respond to NPSAS:20 and BPS:20/22 (double nonrespondents) will not be fielded for the BPS:20/25 field test survey. Eligibility has been established for the remaining survey sample. Therefore, these items are not required. Additionally, as this is the final follow-up for this cohort, some locating information is no longer required (e.g., secondary address/contacting information, parent phone numbers). To maintain a concise summary of item-specific changes, the modifications discussed above (i.e., dropping eligibility and locating items) are not documented in table 1.

Table 1 lists all items in the survey and provides a summary of item-specific changes. The “Change” column indicates whether BPS:20/25 field test survey items have substantively changed from the prior OMB-approved postsecondary studies identified in the “Source” column. Revised items (“R”), in purple font, have been modified from their previous version. Added items (“A”), in green font, are new to the postsecondary studies, have been tested in pretesting activities, and will be fielded for the first time in the BPS:20/25 field test survey. The “Source” column identifies the most recent study the items were included in, if applicable. The “Rationale” column explains how and why specific content changed.

The last column in table 1 identifies items that will be included in the BPS:20/25 field test reinterview (“Reinterview item” column). The reinterview will be administered approximately 3 weeks following completion of the main survey. A notation of “(REINTERVIEW)” has been added next to these items in the facsimile.

Any added or revised items and items to be included in the reinterview survey are individually listed in the hyperlinked table of contents on page E-16.

The following descriptions use examples of standard full-time course loads which may vary by school.

 

Students who are enrolled as a full-time student typically carry at least the following:

  • 12 semester or quarter hours per term

  • 24 semester hours or 36 quarter hours per academic year for an educational program using credit hours for a program of less than one academic year; or

  • 24 clock hours per week for an educational program using clock hours

Students who are enrolled as a part-time student typically carry the following:

  • Less than 12 semester or quarter hours per term

  • Less than 24 semester hours or less than 36 quarter hours per academic year for an educational program using credit hours for a program of less than one academic year; or

  • Less than 24 clock hours per week for an educational program using clock hours

 

Select mix of full-time and part-time only if your full-time or part-time status differed across the semester(s) or term(s) within the academic year. For example, if you were full-time for fall 2023, but were part-time for spring 2024, you would be a mix of full-time and part-time student.

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

Undergraduate certificates or diplomas usually take less than 2 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.

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

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 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.

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.

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

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.

doctoral degree - research/scholarship is a PhD or other doctoral 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 EdD, DMA, DBA, DSc, DA, or DM, and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

doctoral degree - professional practice is a doctoral 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 6 full-time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (DC or DCM); dentistry (DDS or DMD); law (LLB or JD); medicine (MD); optometry (OD), osteopathic medicine (DO); pharmacy (PharmD); podiatry (DPM, PodD, DP); or veterinary medicine (DVM), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

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

The following descriptions use examples of standard full-time course loads which may vary by school.

Students who are enrolled as a full-time student typically carry at least the following:

  • 12 semester or quarter hours per term

  • 24 semester hours or 36 quarter hours per academic year for an educational program using credit hours for a program of less than one academic year; or

  • 24 clock hours per week for an educational program using clock hours

Students who are enrolled as a part-time student typically carry the following:

  • Less than 12 semester or quarter hours per term

  • Less than 24 semester hours or less than 36 quarter hours per academic year for an educational program using credit hours for a program of less than one academic year; or

  • Less than 24 clock hours per week for an educational program using clock hours

Select mix of full-time and part-time only if your full-time or part-time status differed across the semester(s) or term(s) within the academic year. For example, if you were full-time for fall 2023, but were part-time for spring 2024, you would be a mix of full-time and part-time student.

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

Undergraduate certificates or diplomas usually take less than 2 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.

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

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 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.

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.

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

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.

doctoral degree - research/scholarship is a PhD or other doctoral 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 EdD, DMA, DBA, DSc, DA, or DM, and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

doctoral degree - professional practice is a doctoral 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 6 full-time equivalent academic years. Some of these degrees include: chiropractic (DC or DCM); dentistry (DDS or DMD); law (LLB or JD); medicine (MD); optometry (OD), osteopathic medicine (DO); pharmacy (PharmD); podiatry (DPM, PodD, DP); or veterinary medicine (DVM), and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

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

Indicate whether you took out any student loans for the 2023-2024 academic year (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024). Include money borrowed for all schools you attended in 2023-2024. Student loans are money that you borrowed from the federal government or from a private lender.
Do not include Parent PLUS loans, grants or scholarships, or money borrowed from family or friends.

Students must file a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) in order to be considered eligible for federal loans.

Subsidized and unsubsidized Direct Loans

  • An education loan borrowed from the federal government (Direct Loans), with an interest rate and other terms that are set by the federal government.

  • Undergraduate and graduate level students are eligible to receive Direct Loans, which can be either subsidized or unsubsidized.

Private 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.

  • Some students and parents use private loans as a supplement when their federal loans do not provide enough money.

  • Private loans can have higher interest rates than federal loans.

  • Unlike federal student loans, private loans are credit based and therefore often require a cosigner if the student does not have an established credit history.

Some examples of commonly used private loans include:

  • Sallie Mae Smart Option Loan

  • Wells Fargo Collegiate Loan

  • Discover Student Loan

  • PNC Solution Loan

  • SunTrust Custom Choice Loan

Other types of private student loans can include, but are not limited to, loans from credit unions, loans from other banks or financial institutions, or state loan programs. States with private student loan programs include Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Texas, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Help Text:

Benefits are a type of non-monetary employee compensation provided in addition to salary. Select 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.

Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)

Free or Reduced Price School Lunch

Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC)


Help Text:
Answer Yes if you or anyone in your family household received any of the following benefits at any time during 2021 or 2022: 

Medicaid provides health coverage to eligible low-income adults, children, pregnant women, elderly adults, and people with disabilities. Medicaid is administered by states according to federal requirements and is funded jointly by states and the federal government. 


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). TANF may have a different name in your parents' state.

A Free and Reduced Price School Lunch program, also known as the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools and residential child care institutions. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to children each school day. Household size and family income are used to determine eligibility for free or reduced price school lunch programs.

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.

Help Text:

This question will help us better understand the experiences of people of all gender identities. 

Gender includes gender identity and gender expression. Gender identity means one's inner sense of one's own gender, which may or may not match the sex assigned at birth. Different people choose to express their gender identity differently. For some, gender may be expressed through, for example, dress, grooming, mannerisms, speech patterns, and social interactions. Gender expression usually ranges between masculine and feminine, and some transgender people express their gender consistent with how they identify internally, rather than in accordance with the sex they were assigned at birth.   

Transgender: When a person's birth sex and gender do not match, they might think of themselves as transgender. 

Nonbinary: Used to identify people whose gender may not conform to the sex they were assigned at birth. Often this term may be used by people who identify their gender as something other than man or woman. Their gender may fall somewhere between man and woman, or may fall outside the traditional gender distinctions.
