Appendix D
Student Survey Facsimile for Field Test

January 2016

The 2016/17 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study

Student Survey Facsimile for Field Test

This appendix provides a list of the items proposed for the 2016/17 Baccalaureate and Beyond Longitudinal Study (B&B:16/17) field test student survey. While most items in the student survey have been included in surveys for the prior B&B cohort (B&B:08), the B&B:16/17 survey also includes revisions based on results from the B&B:08 cohort data collections and feedback from the B&B:16/17 Technical Review Panel (TRP) meeting conducted in October 2015. Revisions to the survey are intended to reflect current research goals as well as reduce respondent burden and improve data quality.

Table 1 provides a summary of the content of the B&B:16/17 field test (FT) student survey, including a column that indicates in color coded font whether items have remained the same (black) from the prior B&B cohort, were revised (purple), or added (green). Items added to the B&B:16/17 FT survey were drawn from a variety of sources. The source of the added items is described in the rational column of table 1. Many are items previously tested and included in other NCES studies¹, while several items include new content recommended for inclusion by the TRP or which are necessary to conduct analyses of interest. Specifically, some month-level enrollment, employment, and financial questions have been added for respondents whose situations change only in the first year after receiving their bachelor’s degree to allow researchers to explore how debt or other characteristics affect graduates’ time to employment, the timing and duration of unemployment spells, and the timing of life milestones, such as family formation. In addition, in response to a recommendation made by the TRP, pre-kindergarten (pre-K) teachers will be included in the definition of “teachers” studied by B&B:16/17, particularly because some states are instituting universal pre-school programs and raising certification requirements to teach pre-K. To balance the inclusion of the additional items so that the timing estimate of the field test survey is 35 minutes, several survey questions have been revised to improve efficiency within the survey, and the following prior B&B cohort survey topics no longer considered relevant for this B&B:16/17 cohort or with little demonstrated analytic utility have been removed:

Undergraduate Enrollment

Reasons for stop-out
Able to complete bachelor’s degree without attending 2-year institution

Postbaccalaureate Enrollment

Night/weekend courses required in postbaccalaureate degree program(s)
Percent of education costs at postbaccalaureate institution covered by financial aid

Postbaccalaureate Employment

Reasons no longer employed at employer
Reasons working outside of bachelor’s degree field

Teaching

Date of teacher certification
Reasons did not apply for teaching position
Reasons left school district
Redundant detail for each teaching position (now each teaching position captured one time only in employment section of B&B:16/17 survey)

Background

Method of becoming U.S. Citizen
State of legal residence
Currently live more than 50 miles from high school/NPSAS institution
Type of volunteer work

A column has also been added to table 1 for items included in the abbreviated field test survey and reinterview survey. A notation of “(ABBREV)” has been added next to the abbreviated survey items in the facsimile. A subset of items from the field test survey has also been chosen to be tested in a 10-minute reliability reinterview. The reinterview will be administered to respondents who completed the non-abbreviated survey, approximately 4 weeks following completion of the main survey. A notation of “(REINTERVIEW)” has been added next to these items in the facsimile.

A hyperlinked Table of Contents to the items in the facsimile that (a) are being added to the field test survey, (b) have revisions, or (c) are included in the field test abbreviated survey or reinterview, is provided on page D-19.

What was your year or level during your last term of enrollment at [UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOL] for your [degree] before your graduation from [NPSAS] in [BA DATE]?

Help Text

Report your class level or year during your last term of enrollment at [UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOL]. Your level is based on the number of credits completed and not on the amount of time you have spent in the program.

For example, if you have been enrolled for 2 years but have not yet earned enough credits to be classified as a sophomore, indicate First year or freshman. Likewise, if you are in your first year at [NPSAS] but you have transferred enough credits from another school that [NPSAS] considers you to be a junior or third year student, indicate Third year or junior.

If you are earning your associate's degree, remember that in your second year you are considered a Second year or sophomore, not a senior.

Help Text

Indicate if you did any of listed while enrolled at [NPSAS] for your bachelor’s degree.

Most institutions have a deadline to withdraw from a course without penalty. If you withdrew from a course after this deadline, indicate “Yes.”

If course requirements have not been completed, there can be an option to take an incomplete (grade of “I”). You would be given the opportunity to finish any required coursework and once that is completed, the grade of “I” would be replaced with new grade (for example, a “B”).

Some courses have the option to be repeated for a higher grade. This could be to meet a requirement to advance to the next level of the course or to improve a grade point average (GPA).

If a student’s GPA falls below a certain level (which differs by institution), a student can be placed on academic probation. Typically, the student is given a certain time period to raise their grades and if they do not disciplinary action can be taken, sometimes including dismissal from the institution.

If a student’s overall GPA at the time of graduation meets requirements, the student can graduate with honors. Some examples are Cum Laude, Summa Cum Laude and Magna Cum Laude. If you graduated with any of these or similar honors, select “yes.”

If a student’s term GPA is high enough to meet requirements set by the institution, they can be placed on the Dean’s List. Some institutions refer to Dean’s list differently. Some examples are: Chancellor’s list, President’s List or Honor’s List. If you were placed on any of the similarly named honor lists for a term, select “yes.”

Help Text

Please indicate if you were involved in any of the listed activities while perusing your bachelor's degree.

Fraternities and Sororities are typically social organizations at colleges and universities. Some can be more "service" based in nature, placing a main focus on community service. While social fraternities and sororities usually do engage in community service projects or activities, the primary intent is to provide members with a foundational group of brothers and sisters to support them through the college experience. Most often, membership in a fraternity or sorority is obtained while an undergraduate student but continues, thereafter, for life.

Extracurricular clubs or groups are clubs or groups in which students participate outside of the classroom. Some examples include, major or field of study clubs or drama clubs.

Intramural or recreational sports provide students an opportunity to participate in a variety of sport activities without athletic scholarship, coaches, etc. Most universities offer teams in traditional sports such as basketball, softball, soccer, volleyball, and flag football, as well as nontraditional activities such as ultimate Frisbee, floor hockey, badminton, racquetball, and tennis.

Intercollegiate sports are competitive and involve two or more college teams playing against each other. Teams are categorized based on the size of the school. For example, depending on the size of the school and their association, schools can be a part of the National Collegiate Athletic Associate (NCAA) or the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).

An internship is any official or formal program to provide practical experience for beginners in an occupation or profession. An internship can be paid or unpaid.

A practicum is often in a specialized field of study, that is designed to give students supervised practical application of a previously or concurrently studied theory. Practicums (student teaching) are common for education and social work majors. In some cases, the practicum may be a part-time student teaching placement that occurs the semester before a student's full-time student teaching placement.

A co-operative experience is a structured method of combining classroom-based education with practical work experience. A cooperative education experience, commonly known as a "co-op", provides academic credit for structured job experience.

Indicate the degree/certificate you earned or expect(ed) to earn from [POST-BA SCHOOL].

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 PhD 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 EdD, DMA, DBA, DSc, DA, or DM, and others, as designated by the awarding institution.

A professional doctoral degree is a formal award certifying the satisfactory completion of a postsecondary education program in the following areas: chiropractic, dentistry, law, medicine, optometry, osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, podiatry, ministry or divinity, or veterinary medicine.

An undergraduate certificate or diploma is a formal award certifying the satisfactory completion of a postsecondary education program. Undergraduate certificates and diplomas are designed to equip people with the skills needed for direct entry to employment, and for progression to higher education or training. Examples include undergraduate 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.

[If currently enrolled]
For the period of time you have been attending [POST-BA SCHOOL] for your [POST-BA DEGREE], have you been mainly a full-time or part-time student, or an equal mix of both?

[else]
For the period of time you attended [POST-BA SCHOOL] for your [POST-BA DEGREE], were you mainly a full-time or part-time student, or an equal mix of both?

Help Text

Students who attend full-time carry a full load of credit hours per semester or quarter. Typically, this is at least 9 credit hours per semester at the graduate level, although the number of credits per term that is considered full-time varies by institution and program.

Part-time attendance is any credit load less than the full-time load for a given school or program.

If enrolled at the full- and part-time levels about equally often throughout your degree or certificate program, indicate "Equal mix of full- and part-time."

Which of the following did you receive or use to pay for your [POST-BA DEGREE] at [POST-BA SCHOOL]?

Help Text

Indicate the type of financial aid you have received to help pay for your education expenses and living expenses.

Education expenses include tuition, fees, and books. Additionally, any costs associated with your education such as a computer are considered education expensed. Living expenses include rent, food, and clothing. Additionally, expenses such as transportation and utilities are considered living expenses.

The list below provides examples of types of aid:

Examples of federal student loans include Subsidized and unsubsidized Direct Loans (formerly known as Stafford Loans), Perkins Loans and Graduate PLUS loans.

Private student loans tend to cost more in terms of the interest that must be repaid than do the loans offered by the Federal government. 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.

Grants or scholarships do not have to be repaid. Most scholarships are restricted to paying all or part of tuition expenses, though some also cover room and board.

Graduate assistantships are a form of financial aid awarded to students to help support their education. Examples include teaching assistantships and research assistantships. Students usually receive a waiver for all or part of their tuition and a stipend to assist with other living expenses, and are required to perform teaching or research duties.

Fellowships are based on merit, rather than just need. Payment usually includes a waiver for educational expenses as well as a stipend. Fellowships do not have to be repaid.

Work-study jobs are offered to students with financial need, allowing them to work part-time to earn money to help pay their education expenses. Students must file a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) in order to be considered for the Federal Work-Study (FWS) program. Work-study jobs are often located on the campus of a student's school and may or may not be related to a student's course of study.

Employer assistance is any monetary assistance that your employer contributes towards your educational costs.

Own money refers to the student's own finances, and excludes parents' money.

Other than money you may have borrowed from family or friends, did you take out any type of student loans to help pay for your undergraduate education prior to [BA DATE]?

Help Text

Indicate whether you took out any student loans to help pay for your undergraduate education prior to [BA DATE].

Do not include Parent PLUS loans, grants or scholarships, or money borrowed from family or friends.

Federal student loans, such as subsidized and unsubsidized Direct Loans (also known as Stafford Loans), are from the federal government.

Private student loans are borrowed from a private lender, such as a bank, credit union, or state, and usually require a co-signer.

School loans are loans for which your school-rather than the Federal government, state government, or another private organization-is the lender. School loans are sometimes restricted to individuals meeting certain qualifications.

State education loans, offered through state-funded programs in certain states, typically require the borrower to be a state resident or attend an approved school within the state. Interest rates and repayment terms for state education loans vary from state to state.

Indicate the type of loan you took out to help pay for your undergraduate education prior to [BA DATE].

Do not include Parent PLUS loans, grants or scholarships, or money borrowed from family or friends.

Examples of federal student 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.
Students must file a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) in order to be considered for Direct Loan eligibility.
Undergraduate and graduate level students are eligible to receive Direct Loans, which can be either subsidized or unsubsidized.

Perkins Loan
Awarded to undergraduate and graduate students with exceptional financial need.
This is a campus-based loan program, with the school acting as the lender using a limited pool of funds provided by the federal government.

Private student loans:
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
Loans from credit unions
Loans from states such as Minnesota’s SELF loan

States with private or alternative student loan programs include Alaska, Connecticut, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, and Vermont.

What is the current repayment status of your federal student loans?

Help Text

Respond based on the current status of any federal student loans you have, including loans for your bachelor's degree and any taken out since earning your bachelor's degree. If you are currently repaying any private student loans, even if you are still in your deferment period, please answer "Yes.”

A loan modification is any change to the original terms of your student loan. During times of hardship, some lenders will review loans on a case by case basis and make adjustments. For example, lenders may reduce the interest rate to make payments more manageable.

A loan consolidation allows you to combine multiple student loans into one loan. The result is a single monthly payment instead of multiple payments.

A loan extension lengthens the original term of your loan. For example, if you originally had 25 years to pay back your loan, it might be possible to extend the term to 40 years. This brings your monthly payment down helping in cases of financial hardship.

A loan delinquency occurs when no prior arrangements have been made (for example, a deferment or forbearance) and monthly payments are not made on your student loans. After a period of time in delinquency, your loan will go into default. Once a student loan goes into default, it is turned over to a collection agency.

Do you have a currently active professional certification or a state or industry license?

Help Text

There is no time frame associated with this question. We are interested in whether you have ever earned any industry certificates, occupational licenses, or vocational or technical certificates or diplomas.

An industry certification or occupational license qualifies an individual to work in a particular occupational area. An occupational license is required by law in order to practice a given profession. An industry certification allows an individual to work in an occupational area but is not required by law. An industry certification or occupational license shows you are qualified to perform a specific job and includes things like a Licensed Teacher, Licensed Realtor, Certified Medical Assistant, Certified Construction Manager, or a Project Management Professional.

A vocational or technical certificate or diploma is typically earned by completing a program of study offered by a college or university, a community college, or a trade school, but it does not lead to an associate's, bachelor's or graduate degree. An example is a mechanics diploma, which differs from a high school diploma.

Employment that is per event or performance should be considered one job. For example, if you are a musician all events or performances as a musician would be considered one job.

A regular classroom teacher (full- or part-time) refers to a teacher who is a regular classroom teacher in any grade level from pre-kindergarten to twelfth grade.

A short-term substitute teacher refers to a certified or non-certified teacher who works as a replacement for a regular teacher when he/she takes a leave of absence for a short-term period of time (up to 12 weeks). He/she may substitute for a regular teacher for as short a period as a day or for a week at a time.

A long-term substitute teacher refers to a certified or non-certified teacher who works as a replacement for a regular teacher when he/she takes a leave of absence for a long-term period of time (more than 12 weeks). This type of substitute teaches in place of the regular teacher for more than 12 weeks consecutively.

A teacher's aide refers to a certified or non-certified assistant who aids the teacher in preparing classroom materials for instruction and may help with grading and special projects. He/she does NOT assume full responsibility for classroom instruction.

A support teacher works largely with other teachers, rather than with students, and often designs or conducts professional development activities for others. Examples of activities include developing curricula, supporting other teachers' use of technology for instruction, analyzing achievement data and helping teachers understand or use those data to improve instruction, or coaching in particular subject areas or instructional methods. Examples of positions include literacy coaches, math coaches, teachers on special assignment with professional development responsibilities, etc.

A student teacher refers to a teacher who is shadowing a teacher and taking on various roles in the classroom. While some teaching may be involved, this type of teacher does not primarily teach students.

An itinerant teacher refers to a teacher who holds one position or assignment, but who teaches in multiple schools.

If you consider yourself to be a teacher at the Pre-K through 12 level but none of the types of teachers indicated reflects your teaching position, respond "Other teaching position."

An itinerant teacher holds one position or assignment, but teaches in multiple schools.

A support teacher works largely with other teachers, rather than with students, and often designs or conducts professional development activities for others. Examples include literacy coaches, math coaches, teachers on special assignment with professional development responsibilities, etc.

A teacher's aide is a certified or non-certified assistant who helps the teacher prepare classroom instruction materials and grade assignments, but does NOT assume full responsibility for classroom instruction.

A short-term substitute teacher is a certified or non-certified teacher who works as a replacement for a regular teacher when he/she takes a leave of absence for a short-term period of time (less than two weeks).

A long-term substitute teacher is a certified or non-certified teacher who works as a replacement for a regular teacher when he/she takes a leave of absence for a long-term period of time (more than twelve weeks).

A student teacher is a college student who shadows a certified teacher and takes on various roles in the classroom, but, does not primarily teach students.

In what subject area(s) are you currently certified to teach?

Help Text

Indicate the fields in which you are certified to teach. Choose all that apply.

A license or certificate for a particular field is issued when a teacher has successfully completed a list of requirements which may include but is not limited to successful completion of coursework, exams, and/or a certain number of teaching hours (student teaching).

Most middle, junior high, or high school teachers teach specific subjects and, therefore, should indicate the specific subjects in which they are certified. Use "general education in middle or secondary grades" only to indicate certification in general education (i.e., being certified to teach a wide variety of subjects to a single group of students during the day) at the middle grades or secondary level.

Only indicate "other" if your field does not fit into one of the pre-specified fields.

Help Text

Please indicate whether you have any of the following types of retirement accounts.

An IRA is an individual retirement account (IRA) that allows individuals to direct pretax income, up to specific annual limits, toward investments that can grow tax-deferred (no capital gains or dividend income is taxed). Contributions to the traditional IRA may be tax-deductible depending on the taxpayer's income, tax-filing status and other factors. There are several variations of an IRA, including: the Roth IRA, Simple IRA and SEP IRA.

A 401(k) is a qualified plan established by employers to which eligible employees may make salary deferral (salary reduction) contributions on a post-tax and/or pretax basis. Employers offering a 401(k) plan may make matching or non-elective contributions to the plan on behalf of eligible employees and may also add a profit-sharing feature to the plan.

A 403(b) is a retirement plan for certain employees of public schools, tax-exempt organizations and certain ministers. The features of a 403(b) plan are very similar to those of a 401(k) plan.

A Pension is a retirement plan provided by an employer that provides the employee with an income when they are no longer earning a regular income from their employment. U.S. government Social Security is not considered a Pension.

An other retirement savings account includes an employer based retirement account not listed above.
