Government Country Code

Explanation

This form is used to record and maintain the set of government country codes. Universities are required to report to government, for each student, their countries of birth, permanent residence and semester residence. The codes for reporting this data are specified in the DEST manual (elements 346, 320,319). Where a set of user defined country codes has been defined (ENRF0120), each must be mapped to a particular Government Country Code.
