Bypass an Address

Sometimes, a student will provide a valid address that isn't recognized by Clean Address. This often happens when an apartment or home is under new construction. In cases where you've verified that a student's address is accurate and the address isn't recognized by Clean Address, bypass Clean Address by following the steps listed below.

The Clean Address database is updated every few months (with data from USPS), so colleges do not need to report addresses that are not recognized by Clean Address.

To view a table of invalid address error descriptions, visit the QRG 9.2 Update Address Information.  

  1. Enter the desired information into the following:
    • Address 1 field
