| Activity_Date Indexed - no
Format - Date
May be Null? Y | The last date any part of this record was updated in the source. Source field: SPRADDR_ACTIVITY_DATE. |
| Address_Type Indexed - no
Format - Varchar2(2)
May be Null? Y | Code for the type of address. Note that a student can have more than one address of the same type. Each student address has a start and end date (end dates can be null, which should be treated the same as an end date far in the future.) If a student has more than one address of the same type, to find the most recent one you can either look at the start/end dates, or you can look for the one with the highest sequence number of that type.
Only one address for a student will be flagged as the current. See Current_Indicator.
Multiple local address types: Address_Type of 'LI' is for residence in a University-maintained building, such as a dorm or greek housing. Address_type of 'LO' means local address off-campus. Address_Type 'LF' is the address the student has indicated they are "learning from" for remote learning.

| Current_Indicator Indexed - no
Format - Varchar2(1)
May be Null? Y | Calculated value, based on business rules that determine 'where is the student living today?' Rules:
If the student has a current LF address use that, else if the student has a current TE address use that,
else if the student has a current LI address use that, else if the student has a current LO address use that, else if the student has a current PR address use that, else if the student has a current BU address use that.
Y = student is most likely currently at this address or can most likely be reached at this address, as of current date. Note that it is possible for a student to have no current address. The Current_Indicator = 'Y' does not necessarily mean mail should be sent to that address: consider instead using the address type of 'MA' for Mailing Address. See details in the notes for the ST_ADDRESS table. |

To find the most recent College House affiliation, use the max start date of any of the addresses with type 'LI'. |
