Academic Institutions

An academic institution represents part of the academic and physical structure of a higher education organization.

Configure academic institutions, and other organizational entities such as campuses, to meet your particular business needs. For an organizational structure such as an institutional system or consortium, an academic institution might not be the highest level entity. For an organizational structure that doesn’t include a system office or consortium, an institution is often the highest level entity. An example is a university or college.

Access the Institutions page: From Student Central, click Search and search for Academic Institutions.
