The admit term is the earliest term in which a student can be activated in a career. The value is generated by default when a student is admitted and matriculated. A variety of CPP maintenance actions can cause the admit term value to be changed to a blank value, and the operator is required to enter an admit term before saving the updates. The best practice for maintaining the admit term value would be to always update the admit term with the term in which the student was admitted to the university for that career. To determine the admit term the operator would need to refer to the Academics Tab of the Student Services Center.
