Select a check box to indicate which criteria to use in matching incoming student records to existing records in the database.
Record Add Level and Record Suspend Level

Indicates the admit level required to add a student record to the database or place it in suspense. The values are as follows:

0: Load Everyone

1: Recruits or Higher

2: Inactive Admits or Higher

3: Applicants or Higher

4: Active Admits or Higher

5: Accepted/Continuing Only

Student records meeting criteria below the suspense admit level are not loaded from the OSAP file.
CSL Numeric Variable (Canada student loan numeric variable), Prov Loan Numeric Variable (province loan numeric variable), and CSG Numeric Variable (Canada study grant numeric variable)

Select a value. Variables enable the system to assign load data to numeric packaging variable fields.

Note: Verify that the variable chosen is not already in use. This process overwrites any existing data in the chosen numeric packaging variable fields.
