No, at least not here in the United States. A graduate student is a student in graduate school working on obtaining an advanced degree such as a Masters, or a PhD. An undergraduate [student] is attending a college in pursuit of a Bachelors degree of some sort.
I think it really is a student. The survey had some contradictory questions and did not require any identifying questions.
