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

Problem Statement

Steering approved a reversal to a change made in the 2015 Annual Update that removed special field logic validation for students applying to terms that begin in May or June (of the RDDYear). Colleges have requested reinstatement of the RDD validation for the HS Completion Date, College Enrollment, and HS Education Level fields that will allow high school seniors, applying for a summer term or early fall term, that begins a few days (to a few weeks) before their actual high school completion (or equivalent) date, to identify as hs graduates, or equivalent, for the purposes of their Enrollment Status, HS Education Level status, and HS Completion Date status.  

Proposed Solution

The CCCApply Steering Committee approved the reinstatement of specific RDD validation for terms that start in May or June of the RDDYear. The purpose of the special validation is to prevent High School seniors - applying to a Summer or early-starting Fall term with a start date a few days to a few weeks before the applicants HS Completion date - from being classifed as a Special K12 Admit for their College Enrollment Status and High School Education Level status. This validation logic was removed from the application in March 2015, but has been reinstated. 

Requirements Summary

Change Specifications

Fix HS Completion Date Field RDD Logic 

Ensure the HS Completion Date field <hs_comp_date> has the following logic. client side, and server side validation is in place:

A) "Date must be before "July 1, RDDYear' if RDDmonth is May or June> ; else error message "Your High School Completion Date cannot be after 06/30/<year of RDD>. Please correct the completion date and/or your High School Education Level.”

B) Validation must apply only to the Standard application.

Change Prompt Text for Enrollment Status & HS Education Level Status Fields

A) College Enrollment Status: Change label logic so that if a student is applying for a term that starts in May or June, then the College Enrollment Status label displays "as of 7/1/<RDD year>".

B) HS Ed Level Status: Change label logic so that if a student is applying for a term that starts in May or June, then the HS Education Level Status label displays "as of 7/1/<RDD year>".

Changes to Field Logic

Field logic for HS Completion Date field has been modified to use "RDD = July 1, RDDYear" if the term being applied to begins in May or June of the RDDYear.  

Use Cases for Testing

Validation message would *NOT* be triggered in the following scenario:
* Term = May 10, 2015 to July 8, 2015
* RDD = May 9,2015
* hs_comp_date field = May 28, 2015

Validation message *WILL" be triggered in the following scenario:
* Term = July 10, 2015 to August 24, 2015
* RDD = July 9, 2015
* hs_comp_date field =July 16, 2015

Changes to Data Download File

No changes were made to the download file or the residency logic as a result of this RDD validation fix to the HS Completion Date field <hs_comp_date>.
