Set up in STParm using Parameter Code HOSTRS to define state residency codes. These can be individual states (e.g. MA, RI, CT, etc.) or categories (e.g. in-state, regional, tuition, etc.) depending on your business practices.
Set up in STParm using Parameter Code HOMPNO to define meal plans.
Set up in STParm using Parameter Code HSINSU to define health insurance carriers your students use if you track such information. (e.g. Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare)
Set up in STParm using Parameter Code HOPPCD to define payment plans (e.g. 6-month, 8-month, 12-months). These are informational only and don’t impact billing. See payment plans for setting up payment plan billing.
Set up in STParm using Parameter Code SBCOUN to define counties (e.g. Washington County, Providence County, Kent County, etc.) Counties can be useful if you need to report enrollment data to a government agency or other organization by where students live.
Set up in STParm using Parameter Code HOADST to define admit status. This is independent of the student’s admissions status and allows you to define different categories as your institution requires. For example, you may wish to broadly define new students as in-state, regional and out-of state-admits.
Set up in STParm using Parameter Code HOACGL to define academic goals, particularly those that may change from semester to semester. For example, you may have a students in a program divided into modules and each semester they complete a different module.
Create billing sites. Billing sites may be different physical locations or other ways to group students broadly for billing. For example, site 1 may be your day programs and site 2 your evening programs, each with a different tuition rate.
Create dorms and dorm rooms.
Class levels established.

View session row data by major for many students
You can use the student finder to view all students with a session row that includes a major(s).
Go to Filters > Students.
Click Add Fields and select the filter Session Row Major Code and click Apply.
The Session Row Major Code now shows as a filter. You can select a search operator and then, using the menu, select one or more majors. Campus Cafe then returns any student with a session row with the selected major(s). To narrow results, use Session Row Major Code in conjunction with the Session Row filter to show only students for specific semesters. For example, you could narrow the results to students with a political science session row major in Fall 2024 and exclude students who were previously political science majors but not in Fall 2024.
