Fix RDD Validation on HS Ed Level for Terms that Start Before HS Completion Date

Problem Statement

A change was made in the 2015 Annual Update that allowed students to declare a High School Education Level status of "Graduated High School or XYZ" and enter a high school completion date after the RDD and current date (date of application) if they were applying as high school seniors and were applying for a term that started before the their true high school or equivalent completion date. This was allowed for convenience to the colleges and the students; however, per the CCCCO, this was actually not legal and not acceptable from a legal perspective.
