Appendix H
Student Records Instrument
OMB # 1850-0666 v. 29
Submitted by
National Center for Education Statistics
U.S. Department of Education
August 2019
second revision April 2020
This appendix provides the 2019–20 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study (NPSAS:20) student records data collection instrument. The NPSAS:20 instrument remains largely unchanged from the instrument approved for NPSAS:20 qualitative testing [OMB# 1850-0803 v.243 & 247]. The changes noted below were developed based on the results of this qualitative testing1 and based on the 2017-18 NPSAS Administrative Collection (NPSAS:18-AC) and are intended to improve data quality while also reducing respondent burden.
Table 1 lists all instrument items in this appendix and indicates any changes to the content of the instrument when compared to the instrument approved for NPSAS:20 qualitative testing. The table includes color coding to indicate whether items have remained the same (black), were revised (purple), removed (red), or added (green) when compared to the NPSAS:20 qualitative testing instrument.

Enrollment Status for [Term 01-12]

For example, a student who was enrolled for 12 credit hours in spring 2020 but dropped to 6 credit hours due to COVID-19-related course cancellations should be reported as 6 credit hours. If you were not able to provide an enrollment status for this term, the number of credits or clock hours is critical for determining this student’s enrollment intensity.
Please provide budgeted costs of attendance for the 2019-2020 academic year (July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020).

For guidance on reporting budgeted costs of attendance for students impacted by COVID-19, please see the Student Records Handbook on the Resources page of the PDP or contact the Help Desk.
If a full-time, full-year budget is not available, you can use Pell guidelines to prorate the amount to reflect the costs for a full-time student enrolled for a full academic year in the student’s academic program. Click here for definitions and more information about prorating costs of attendance.
If a full-time, full-year budget is not available, and you cannot provide a prorated amount, you may provide budgeted costs of attendance for other budget periods. For additional guidance and examples, please see the NPSAS:20 Student Records Handbook (available on the Resources page of the PDP).
Please provide budgeted costs of attendance for a full-time student enrolled for a full academic year.

For more information about defining an academic year, visit [link]. A link to the FSA Handbook is also available on the Resources page of the PDP.

State Aid Program Type 1
Need-based aid is awarded based on an applicant's financial resources. Merit-based aid is awarded based on an applicant's academic achievement. Merit aid that was awarded without consideration of financial resources should be considered merit aid. However, if any part of the awarding criteria includes a student's financial resources, the aid is considered either “need-based” or “both need and merit-based.” Aid based on neither need nor merit may include an applicant's non-academic talents, demographic, or other characteristics as the awarding criteria.
For help categorizing aid awards, see the Financial Aid Type Cheat Sheet on the Resources page of the PDP, or contact the Help Desk. Special financial aid awards for students impacted by COVID-19 should be reported as Aid for COVID-19 (type = 20). Refunds of tuition or fees due to COVID-19 should not be reported as financial aid; instead, they should be reported as “Tuition and Fees Refunded for COVID-19” in the Enrollment section.
