Regent

A student record for each applicant is created in Regent for the Default Institution upon account sign-up. Regent automatically assigns the Student ID 1 in numerical order at the time the student record is created. 


When the Access ISIR Formatted file is imported into Regent, if a matching student record is not found for the Default Institution, an account is created for each non-Default Institution (each Federal School Code listed on the application), thereby creating a unique ID for each respective Institution. The Student ID 2 for the non-Default Institution will be the Student ID 1 from the Default Institution.
