The Source or Background Institution Base Form is used to capture general information, such as address, comments, and contacts, about a source or background institution. Most of the information captured is not validated to allow for flexibility.
The address information provided on this page is displayed in Academic History and Admissions. The codes on the Source/ Background Institution Validation (STVSBGI) page must be established first. The validation page indicates the type of entity (high school or college) and whether the entity is a source for the institution.
When a valid ZIP or postal code is selected from the ZIP/Postal Code Validation (GTVZIPC) page and entered in the ZIP or Postal Code field, the combination of City, State/Province, and Nation information which exists in GTVZIPC will default into the appropriate fields. The related information does not default in when the ZIP/Postal Code is entered manually.
