2006-2007 SAR Comment
Codes and Text

Overview
The 2006-2007 SAR Comment Codes and Text document serves as a stand-alone guide, as well
as a companion to the 2006-2007 Electronic Data Exchange (EDE) Technical Reference.

Please refer to this document for information on comment codes and text, including:

• 2006-2007 Student Aid Report (SAR) Comment Text

• 2006-2007 SAR Acknowledgement Comment Text

New for 2006-2007! To improve consistency and more easily accommodate mid-cycle updates,
we will no longer maintain a separate set of comment code text for Institutional Student
Information Records (ISIRs). For 2006-2007, ISIRs will use the same set of comment code text
as SARs, meaning that both the student and the financial aid administrator (FAA) will see the
same text. We will continue to maintain a separate set of comment codes and text specific to
Web applications or corrections. If the FAA is reviewing a printed ISIR, the comment text will
be the same as the paper SAR. If the FAA is reviewing the SAR information on FAA Access to
CPS Online, the comment text will be identical to what the student sees online.

We polled FAAs from a diverse set of schools before we made this change, and the unanimous
opinion was that it would be preferable to see the same text the student sees.

October 2006 (2006-2007) 2006-2007 SAR Comment Codes and Text 1

We have not included the Web versions of the SAR comment text in this guide because they are
very similar to the SAR comment text. The only differences are wording changes that make the
comments relevant to the Web version of the SAR rather than to the paper form or printed
(electronic) ISIR. For example, the text for a SAR comment code may describe printed
information, whereas the equivalent Web comment code describes a Web page displaying the
information.

How Do the Comment Codes and Text Work?

The Central Processing System (CPS) adds comment codes and text to the student’s transaction
to provide information to the student and to you about the student’s processed Free Application
for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

The comment codes and text are printed on paper SARs and on ISIRs printed from EDExpress or
other financial aid software you may use. Each comment code is three digits and can be found in
positions 1677 to 1736 in the ISIR file. Comment codes and text are also printed on SAR
Acknowledgements.

How Do I Use These Tables?

The following tables list all the CPS comment codes. The SAR table comprises five columns.
In the first column, we have listed the comment codes numerically. In the second column, you
will find the comment text that is printed on SARs and on printed ISIRs. In the third column, we
describe changes to the comment code text. In the fourth column, we indicate if a C code is set.
The CPS typically generates a C code when database match results require resolution by the
school. The CPS also generates a C code if an applicant’s response to drug question 31 requires
resolution or FAA action. If there is a reject code associated with a comment code, we list the
reject code in column five.

Note: The SAR Acknowledgement table only contains the comment code number, comment
code definition, and changes.

Where Can I Find More Information About ISIRs?

The 2006-2007 ISIR Guide is designed to assist FAAs with interpreting student information from
an ISIR. The 2006-2007 ISIR Guide will be posted, and if necessary, updated and reposted to the
U.S. Department of Education’s Federal Student Aid Download (FSAdownload) Web site
located at fsadownload.ed.gov as well as on the Information for Financial Aid Professionals
(IFAP) Web site, located at ifap.ed.gov.
