This mapping tool allows you to map local Relationship Types to codes in the state-defined code list. The codes in the state-defined code list are automatically provided by Campus. The mapping that you create can be copied from one year to another year.

The SIRS: Student Contact Fact extract uses the mapped codes when determining what to report in the Contact Relationship Code column.
