Subject | Error on CCCApply application form |
Message | I just wanted to bring an error to your attention: The application form won't let a person select that they received a diploma from a U.S. high school if they attended high school in a foreign country. But there are a number of U.S. high schools operating in foreign countries -- Department of Defense schools and Embassy Schools, for example. I graduated from the American Embassy School in London, UK, which is a U.S. school, but the application required me to say that I attended a foreign secondary school instead. |

Proposed Solution
This request was reviewed briefly by Steering in April (post-CACCRAO meeting) but a decision was not made due to time constraints. It was then sent out to the committee for review and approval by email/survey.
Review current logic (done)
A student who attends a U.S. high school in another country (such as DoD schools or American Embassy schools) needs to be able to enter their high school information without being forced to say they graduated from a Foreign Secondary School (as option #6 hs_edu_level) or get an error message.
This use case should be able to respond as follows:
Enrollment Status = Any
High School Ed Level =
3 = Received high school diploma from U.S. school
4 = Passed a high school equivalency test and received a certificate of high school equivalency
5 = Received a Certificate of California High School Proficiency
6 = Received a diploma/certificate of graduation from a Foreign secondary school
1 = Will be enrolled in high school (or lower grade) and college at the same time
2 = Currently enrolled in adult school
0 = Not a graduate of, and no longer enrolled in high school
