CODING INSTRUCTIONS:
If only one of the basic racial/ethnic elements (01491 - 01496)
is coded 'Y' then the edit program will generate 'S' here. If
more than one element is coded 'Y' then the edit program will
generate 'M' here.
Universities may code 'O' here for non-resident alien. If 'O'
is coded here and any basic racial/ethnic element (01491 - 01496)
is coded 'Y', a critical error will be generated.
If all the basic racial/ethnic elements (01491 - 01496) are
coded 'N' and this element is left blank, the edit program will
generate 'X' here. 'X' will be accepted if coded in this case.

States and who is in this country on a visa or temp-
orary basis and does not have the right to remain

or nationals of the United States and who have been
lawfully admitted for permanent residence (and hold
Alien Registration Receipt Cards - Form I-551/155) are

person did not select a racial/ethnic designation,
and the postsecondary institution finds it impossible
to place the person in one of the aforementioned
racial/ethnic categories.) This value is not allowed
for employee coding, it is limited to student coding.
