2005-2006 SAR/ISIR
Comment Codes and Text

Overview
The 2005-2006 SAR/ISIR Comment Codes and Text document serves as a stand-alone guide, as well as
a companion to the 2005-2006 EDE Technical Reference.

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

• 2005-2006 SAR Comment Text

• 2005-2006 SAR Acknowledgement Comment Text

• 2005-2006 ISIR Comment Text

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

November 2004 (2005-2006) 2005-2006 SAR/ISIR Comment Codes and Text 1

How Do I Use These Tables?
The following tables list all the CPS comment codes. The SAR table and the ISIR table are comprised
of 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 data match results require financial aid administrators
(FAA) resolution. However, 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, changes, and the
comment code definition.

How Are Comment Codes Assigned?

The CPS adds comment codes to the student’s transaction to provide information to the student and to
you about the student’s processed FAFSA.

How Do The ISIR Comment Codes Work?

The 2005-2006 ISIR comment text is used for ISIRs printed from EDExpress, another financial aid
software package, or your internal ISIR print program. The electronic ISIR file, sent to the school,
contains the comment code numbers that print on the ISIR. Each ISIR comment code is three digits and
can be found in positions 1677-1736 in the ISIR file. Comment codes are also printed on SAR
Acknowledgements.

Where Can I Find More Information About ISIRs?

The 2005-2006 ISIR Guide is designed to assist FAAs with interpreting student information from an
ISIR. The 2005-2006 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.
