Problem / Issue
Issue Students are not reading the RDD. are rushing through selecting their hs ed level status. and are selecting the top response choice which is "Not a graduate". This is causing residency issues. They made some suggestions, but this is the only one that I didn't talk them out of making. Screen shot coming.
Proposed Solution
Revise the list of High School Ed Level response options to list the HS graduate and equivalent statuses at the top (put "not a graduate of, and no longer enrolled in High School" at the bottom).
Notes
This change would not affect the data download at all. The status response options would not change for this field (hs_edu_level), just the display of the responses that appear in the dropdown menu.
Also - college requested more visibility of the RDD in these questions. Say that students are rushing through, not reading, and selecting the first options in the listings.
