revised February 2020

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.

A student may receive in-state or reduced tuition even if he/she is not a legal resident of the state, such as through programs that offer in-state tuition to veterans or through tuition reciprocity agreements with adjacent states.

Enrollment Status for [Term 01-12]

For institutions with interruptions of study related to COVID-19: If the student’s enrollment status changed due to COVID-19 (e.g., for institution closure or a partial cancellation of a student’s course load), please report the student’s most recent enrollment status. For example, a student who was enrolled full time in spring 2020 but dropped to half-time status due to COVID-19-related course cancellations should be reported as half-time.

For institutions without interruptions of study related to COVID-19: If enrollment status was used to determine financial aid eligibility, report that enrollment status for this item. Otherwise, report the enrollment status as defined by your institution.

Institutions typically define enrollment status based on the number of credit or clock hours attempted. For example, students who are enrolled as a full-time student typically carry at least

• 12 semester or quarter hours per term at the undergraduate level or 9 credit hours per term at the graduate level.

• 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.

If the student’s credit or clock hours attempted changed due to COVID-19 (e.g., for institution closure or a partial cancellation of a student’s course load), please report the student’s most recent credit or clock hours attempted. 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.

Budget

Please provide budgeted costs of attendance for the 2019-2020 academic year (July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020).

If possible, please provide the full-time, full-year budget that matches this student’s program and residence, even if the student was not enrolled full-time for the entire year. (Below you will be asked to indicate whether the full-year budget includes costs for summer terms.)

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.

Academic year: An academic year must include at least 30 weeks of instructional time for credit-hour based programs, or 26 weeks of instructional time for clock-hour based programs.

At a semester-based institution, the academic year typically includes fall and spring terms. At a trimester-based institution, the academic year typically includes fall, spring, and summer terms.

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.

Full-time: The following minimum coursework standards are for undergraduate students enrolled full-time in the academic year:

- For credit-hour programs, at least 24 semester or trimester credit hours, or 36 quarter credit hours; or

- For clock-hour programs, at least 900 clock hours.

Adjusting budgeted costs of attendance: If your program costs are not for full-time, full-year enrollment, use the Pell guidelines to adjust your costs of attendance to report a full-time, full-year budget.

CFSTTYP01

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.

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.
