Roommate Fields

The Roommate field set includes fields to identify an applicant’s roommate. The entries in these fields are used to locate matching applicant or student records in The Education Edge and then specify the roommate on the applicant’s record. The data in these fields does not update information on the roommate’s applicant or student record. This field set is only available for the Applicant category.

This field set is not available on Online Reenrollment forms.

Warning: By default, the Roommate fields inherit character limits from The Education Edge. These limits are 50 characters for the First Name, Middle Name, and Nickname fields, 100 characters for the Last name field, and 12 characters for the Social Security Number field. If you increase the character limits in the Form Designer, you may lose data that website users submit.

Note: By default, the Social Security Number field uses the Social Security number validator. For information about validators, see Validators.
