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

The goal of the BPS:20/25 survey is to follow up with students whose first postsecondary enrollment after high school occurred during the 2019-2020 academic year and were last contacted in 2022 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 2024-2025 academic year.

To maintain key longitudinal measures across BPS cohorts, the BPS:20/25 survey content is initially drawn from the first follow-up survey of the BPS cohort, BPS:20/22 (OMB #1850-0631 v. 19). Additional content is drawn from the NPSAS:24 survey (OMB #1850-0666 v.36) to collect information of emerging interest, such as participation in the gig economy. Data elements brought forward from BPS:20/22 full-scale enable longitudinal analysis of new topics including academic experiences and activities, emergency aid, and student basic needs (e.g., housing and food security).

Question wording for the BPS:20/25 survey remains unchanged from how it was administered in the BPS:20/25 field test (OMB # 1850-0631 v.20). Some questions included in the field test survey were removed for full-scale based upon recommendations from the Technical Review Panel (Appendix A), noted in table 1. Revisions to the survey are intended to reflect current research goals and improve data quality, including the addition of the modified race and ethnicity question with minimal categories only and examples based on the revised OMB Statistical Policy Directive No. 15. While race and ethnicity are constructs historically only measured in the base-year survey (NPSAS:20), the inclusion of the modified measure in BPS:20/25 will provide insight into how postsecondary students respond to the revised question.

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 full-scale 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, in-depth 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 the BPS:20/25 survey items have substantively changed from the BPS:20/25 field test survey. Dropped items (“D”), in red font, have been removed from the full-scale survey. Added items (“A”), in green font, are new and will be fielded for the first time in the BPS:20/25 full scale survey. The “Rationale” column explains how and why specific content changed. Items not included in the BPS:20/25 field test but carried forward from the BPS:20/22 survey are noted in the “Rationale” column.

The last column in table 1 identifies items that will be included in the BPS:20/25 abbreviated survey (“Abbreviated” column). The abbreviated survey will be available in both English and Spanish, with the Spanish survey wording provided starting on page E-157. A notation of “(ABBREV)” has been added next to these forms in the facsimile.

Items to be included in the abbreviated survey are individually listed in the hyperlinked table of contents on page E-15.

Recently, we sent you material about the U.S. Department of Education's Beginning Postsecondary Students Longitudinal Study (BPS). As part of the study, the survey is being conducted to better understand the education and employment experiences of current and former students who began their postsecondary education during the 2019-2020 academic year.

 

[{If on OFAC do not pay list} The survey takes about 30 minutes to complete. {else} The survey takes about 30 minutes to complete and, as a token of our appreciation, you will receive $[incentive amount] for participating.]

In addition to your survey responses, we collect other enrollment-related data from your institution and sources such as student loan databases and admissions testing agencies. Your responses, combined with any student record information, may be used for statistical purposes and will not be disclosed, or used, in personally identifiable forms for any other purpose, except as required by law (20 U.S.C. §9573 and 6 U.S.C. §151).

Sometimes researchers use data from previous studies or share data with each other if they are conducting similar research. For these reasons, we may use or share your deidentified data with other researchers. If we do so, we will not contact you to ask for your additional informed consent.

Your participation is voluntary and will not affect any aid or other benefits that you may receive. You may decline to answer any question or stop the survey at any time. The risks of participating in this study are small and relate to data security. We have the following precautions in place - your responses are stored within an enhanced security network, only authorized project staff have access to data, and all staff have participated in privacy training, signed confidentiality agreements, and undergone rigorous background checks. All personally identifiable information will be kept in secure and protected data files and will be separate from the responses you provide in this survey.

If you are located in the European Union (EU) or the United Kingdom (UK), you have rights under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation and the UK Data Protection Act. By providing consent, you agree and understand that your personal information will be transferred to a data center located in the United States.

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 2024, but were part-time for spring 2025, 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.

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 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 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 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 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.

A 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.

A 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

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 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.

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 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 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 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 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.

A 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.

A 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.

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.

Answer Yes if you or anyone in your family household received any of the following benefits at any time during 2022 or 2023: 

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.

Help Text:
Clases a nivel subgraduado significa tomar cursos a nivel de estudios subgraduados, pero sin estar formalmente matriculado(a) en un programa que otorga título o certificado de cualquier tipo. Los certificados o diplomas subgraduados generalmente toman menos de 2 años en completarse y usualmente están diseñados para equipar a las personas con las destrezas necesarias para ingresar directamente a empleos o para obtener una licencia, como por ejemplo de cosmetología. Otros ejemplos incluyen certificados en asistencia administrativa, programación en computación y técnico de registros médicos. Un grado asociado generalmente requiere al menos 2 años, pero menos de 4 años de estudios universitarios equivalentes a tiempo completo. Un título de bachillerato usualmente lo otorga una universidad o college de 4 años y generalmente requiere por lo menos 4 años de estudios a tiempo completo a nivel universitario. Clases a nivel graduado son para los estudiantes que ya tienen un título o certificado subgraduado y que están matriculados en cursos a nivel graduado más allá de un bachillerato, pero que no están formalmente matriculados en un programa graduado. Un certificado de post-bachillerato provee un entrenamiento nuevo y adicional en un área de especialización a los estudiantes que ya tienen un bachillerato. Los certificados requieren normalmente menos horas de cursos que los títulos de maestría o doctorado y no requieren una tesis o disertación. Ejemplos de esto incluyen los certificados en contabilidad, ciencias de computadoras y administración de recursos humanos. Un título de maestría requiere usualmente por lo menos 2 años de estudios graduados a tiempo completo y puede requerir una tesis o una práctica. Un certificado de post-maestría usualmente requiere completar 24 horas de crédito semestral después de la maestría, pero no reúne los requisitos de los títulos académicos a un nivel de doctorado. Un doctorado en investigación es un PhD o otro título de doctorado que requiere trabajo avanzado después del nivel de maestría, incluyendo la preparación y defensa de una tesis doctoral basada en un trabajo de investigación original o el planeamiento y ejecución de un proyecto original que demuestra un logro artístico o académico considerable. Algunos ejemplos de este tipo de título pueden incluir EdD, DMA, DBA, DSc, DA o DM, y otros, como sea que los designe la institución que los otorga. Un doctorado en práctica profesional es un doctorado que se da al completarse un programa que proporciona el conocimiento y las destrezas para el reconocimiento, la credencial o la licencia requerida para la práctica profesional. El título se otorga después de un periodo de estudio de tal manera que el tiempo total para conseguir el título, incluyendo tanto la preparación pre-profesional así como la profesional, es igual a un equivalente de por lo menos 6 años académicos a tiempo completo. Algunos de estos títulos incluyen: quiropráctica (DC o DCM), odontología (DDS o DMD), leyes (LLB o JD), medicina (MD), optometría (OD), medicina osteopática (DO), farmacia (PharmD), podiatría (DPM, PodD, DP) o medicina veterinaria (DVM), y otros, como sea que los designe la institución que los otorga. Un doctorado - otro es un título de doctor que no reúne los criterios de la definición de doctorado en investigación ni doctorado en práctica profesional.

¿Cuál es el nivel educativo más alto que esperas obtener en cualquier institución educativa en toda tu vida?

  1 = Cursos a nivel subgraduado, no se espera ningún título ni certificado subgraduado

  2 = Certificado o diploma subgraduado (usualmente toma menos de 2 años), incluyendo programas que permiten obtener una certificación o licencia (por ejemplo, cosmetología)

  3 = Grado asociado (usualmente es un título de 2 años)

  4 = Título de bachillerato (usualmente es un título de 4 años)

  5 = Cursos graduados, no se espera un título o certificado graduado

  6 = Certificado de post-bachillerato

  7 = Título de maestría

  8 = Certificado de post-maestría

  10 = Título de doctorado en práctica profesional (por ejemplo, quiropráctica, odontología, leyes, medicina, etc.)

  9 = Título de doctorado – investigación (por ejemplo, PhD, EdD, etc.)

Help Text:
Indica el nivel más alto de educación que esperas completar en cualquier institución educativa. Si no planeas seguir tus estudios más allá de lo que estás estudiando actualmente, provee el título o certificado para el que estás estudiando o los cursos que estás tomando actualmente. Cursos a nivel subgraduado quiere decir que se están tomando cursos a nivel subgraduado, pero sin matricularse formalmente en un programa de título o certificado de ningún tipo. Los certificados o diplomas subgraduados generalmente toman menos de 2 años en completarse y usualmente están diseñados para equipar a las personas con las destrezas necesarias para ingresar directamente a empleos o para obtener una licencia, como por ejemplo de cosmetología. Otros ejemplos incluyen certificados en asistencia administrativa, programación en computación y técnico de registros médicos. Un grado asociado generalmente requiere al menos 2 años, pero menos de 4 años de estudios universitarios equivalentes a tiempo completo. Un título de bachillerato usualmente lo otorga una universidad o college de 4 años y generalmente requiere por lo menos 4 años de estudios a tiempo completo a nivel universitario. Cursos a nivel graduado son para estudiantes que ya tienen un título o certificado subgraduado y que están matriculados en cursos a nivel graduado más allá de un bachillerato, pero que no están matriculados formalmente en un programa para un título graduado. Un certificado de post bachillerato provee un entrenamiento nuevo o adicional en un área de especialización a los estudiantes que ya tienen un bachillerato. Los certificados requieren normalmente menos horas de cursos que los títulos de maestría o doctorado y no requieren una tesis o disertación. Ejemplos de esto incluyen los certificados en contabilidad, ciencias de computadoras y administración de recursos humanos. Una maestría requiere usualmente por lo menos 2 años de estudios graduados a tiempo completo y puede requerir una tesis o una práctica. Un certificado de post maestría usualmente requiere completar 24 horas de crédito semestral después de la maestría, pero no reúne los requisitos de los títulos académicos a un nivel de doctorado. Un doctorado en investigación es un PhD u otro título de doctorado que requiere trabajo avanzado después del nivel de maestría, incluyendo la preparación y defensa de una tesis doctoral basada en un trabajo de investigación original o el planeamiento y ejecución de un proyecto original que demuestra un logro artístico o académico considerable. Algunos ejemplos de este tipo de título pueden incluir EdD, DMA, DBA, DSc, DA o DM, y otros, como sea que los designe la institución que los otorga. Un doctorado en práctica profesional es un doctorado que se da al completarse un programa que proporciona el conocimiento y las destrezas para el reconocimiento, la credencial o la licencia requerida para la práctica profesional. El título se otorga después de un periodo de estudio de tal manera que el tiempo total para conseguir el título, incluyendo tanto la preparación pre-profesional así como la profesional, es igual a un equivalente de por lo menos 6 años académicos de tiempo completo. Algunos de estos títulos incluyen: quiropráctica (DC o DCM), odontología (DDS o DMD), leyes (LLB o JD), medicina (MD), optometría (OD), medicina osteopática (DO), farmacia (PharmD), podiatría (DPM, PodD, DP) o medicine veterinaria (DVM), y otros, como sea que los designe la institución que los otorga. Un doctorado-otro es un título de doctor que no reúne los criterios de la definición de doctorado en investigación ni doctorado en práctica profesional.

Help Text:
Indica si alguna vez has sacado algún tipo de préstamo privado para tu educación. Incluye dinero tomado en préstamo para todas las instituciones a las que asististe. No incluyas los préstamos PLUS para Padres, fondos o becas, o dinero prestado por familiares o amigos. Los prestamistas privados ofrecen préstamos privados. A continuación se detallan algunas características comunes de los préstamos privados.

• Con los préstamos privados no hay que llenar solicitudes federales.

• Algunos estudiantes y padres usan préstamos privados como un suplemento cuando sus préstamos federales no proveen suficiente dinero.

• Los préstamos privados pueden tener tasas de interés más altas que los préstamos federales.

• A diferencia de los préstamos federales estudiantiles, los préstamos privados se basan en el crédito y por lo tanto, a menudo requieren un co-deudor si el estudiante no tiene un historial de crédito establecido.

Es posible que la solicitud también necesite de documentación de apoyo, tal como una copia de tu talón de pago de nómina, un estado de cuenta de ut compensación de desempleo, una carta de otorgamiento de discapacidad o una carta certificada de tu escuela para confirmar tu matriculación.

Si actualmente no estás pagando tus préstamos privados y tienes un acuerdo con el prestamista correspondiente para postergar o diferir el pago, responde No, porque tengo un acuerdo con mi prestamista para postergar o diferir los pagos.

Indica si has tenido algún empleo con pago en algún momento entre el primero de julio de 2022 y el 30 de junio de 2025.

Si empezaste un empleo antes del primero de julio de 2022 y seguiste trabajando ahí después del primero de julio de 2022, por favor responde Sí.

Por favor considera cualquier empleo con pago, incluyendo empleo de tiempo completo o tiempo parcial, trabajo por cuenta propia, estudio-y-trabajo y pasantías pagadas. No reportes ningún empleador al que solamente hayas solicitado trabajo ni ningún empleador de quien no hayas aceptado una posición con pago.

Los empleos federales de estudio-y-trabajo se ofrecen a estudiantes con necesidades económicas, permitiéndoles trabajar a tiempo parcial para ganar dinero que les ayuda a pagar sus gastos de educación. Los estudiantes deben presentar una solicitud FAFSA (Solicitud gratuita de ayuda federal para estudiantes) para ser considerados por el Programa de Trabajo-Estudio Federal (FWS, por sus siglas en inglés). Los empleos de estudio-y-trabajo frecuentemente se localizan en el recinto de la institución del estudiante y pueden o no estar relacionados con el programa de estudios del estudiante.

Una pasantía es cualquier programa formal o informal que provee experiencia en el trabajo a principiantes en una ocupación o profesión. Muchas personas trabajan en pasantías para aprender nuevas destrezas y adquirir experiencia laboral. Considera sólo pasantías pagadas cuando respondas a esta pregunta.

En general, trabajas por cuenta propia si eres el único propietario de un comercio o negocio, un miembro de una sociedad en un comercio o negocio, o de alguna otra manera trabajas por tu cuenta. Se te considera como un contratista independiente si tu trabajo no es controlado por un empleador.

Esta pregunta nos ayudará a entender mejor las experiencias de personas con todo tipo de identidad de género.

Género incluye identidad de género y expresión de género. Identidad de género quiere decir el sentido interno que uno tiene de su propio género, el cual puede o no corresponder al sexo que le asignaron al nacer. Distintas personas deciden expresar su identidad de género de maneras diferentes. Para algunos, el género se puede expresar, por ejemplo, a través de la vestimenta, de cómo se arreglan, de sus gestos, de sus patrones de habla y de sus interacciones sociales. La expresión de género usualmente se manifiesta entre masculino y femenino, y algunas personas transgénero expresan su género de manera que concuerda con cómo se identifican internamente, más que de acuerdo al sexo que les asignaron al nacer.

Transgénero: Cuando el sexo al nacer y el género no concuerdan, la persona puede considerarse transgénero.

No binario: Este término se usa para identificar personas cuyos géneros quizás no se ajustan al sexo que se les asignó al nacer. A menudo, este término puede ser usado por personas que identifican su género como algo que no es ni masculino ni femenino. El género de estas personas puede caer entre masculino y femenino, o puede caer fuera de la definición tradicional de género.
