Functional Group AF

X12F Finance Subcommittee

This Draft Standard for Trial Use contains the format and establishes the data contents of the Application for Admission to Educational Institutions Transaction Set (189) for use within the context of an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) environment. This transaction set contains all the information, except for official transcripts, that students use to apply for admission to educational institutions. The individual student may send the application for admission directly to the educational institution. In addition, entities other than the student may route or handle the application for admission. These entities include high schools, high school counselors, admission application service providers and clearinghouses, other educational institutions, testing agencies, and recommenders.
