The consultant should discuss with the university that the recommended default Account record is the Administrative Account record type, not the Educational Institution record type. The Administrative Account record type is used to group Contacts that are related to an educational institution, such as students, faculty, staff, and alumni. The Educational Institution record type is used to represent another educational institution that is not the primary one, such as a high school or a partner school. The system admin should select the Administrative Account record type in the EDA Default Account Model in EDA Settings to group students by colleges within the university. The other options are not considerations that the consultant should discuss with the university. Reference:
