This rule is used to validate the following data in a Student Mailing Address record:

• Postal Code

To perform this validation, the following information is used:

• City
• State/Province
• Expiry Date (Student Address)
• Next Scan Date

For Canadian addresses, the Postal Code, City, and Province appear valid, but according to Canada Post, the Postal Code does not appear to match the City and Province provided.

This rule does not apply if the Expiry Date of the Student Address record has been set and is more than 6 months in the past. In this case the Next Scan Date will not be set. Otherwise, the Next Scan Date is set to the earliest of:

• 6 months following the Expiry Date (if set)
• 7 days from the current date (as Canada Post information is updated weekly in PASI)

Note: Next Scan Date is only set for Active Students.
This validation rule is in effect for all school years.

This rule follows the PASI Data Format Guidelines to determine if the address is in Canada.

When this validation rule is triggered, the following message is returned:

Where:

• {PostalCode} is the Postal Code of the record
• {City} is the City of the record
• {Province/State} is the State/Province of the record
• {RefID} is the Reference ID (Student Address) of the record.

This rule applies to:

• Release 5.3 - Updated to no longer apply 6 months after the Expiry Date.
• Release 7.04 (F7843) - Updated to ensure the Next Scan date is only set for Active Students.
