Student Type Code Validation (STVSTYP) page

Use the Student Type Code Validation (STVSTYP) page to create, update, insert, and delete student type codes, such as Returning Freshman, Continuing, Transfer, and so on.

Several forms in various modules use this page to validate the student type codes. You can create and update these codes only from this page.

The following student type codes should be created for IPEDS reporting:
  • Freshman
  • First Time Freshman
  • Unclassified
  • Continuing
  • First Time Graduate
  • First Time Professional

Please see the “Required System Values for Validation Forms” section in the “Validation Forms” chapter of the Banner Student User Guide for a list of required system values for this validation page.
