2004-2005 SAR/ISIR
Comment Codes and Text

Overview
The 2004-2005 SAR/ISIR Comment Codes and Text document serves as a stand-alone guide, as well as
a companion to the EDE Technical Reference.

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

• 2004-2005 SAR Comment Text

• 2004-2005 SAR Acknowledgement Comment Text

• 2004-2005 ISIR Comment Text

We have not included the Web version of the comment text in this guide because it is very similar to the
paper 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. For example, the comment code text for
the paper version describes "printing" the information on the SAR, whereas the Web version describes
"displaying" the information.

February 2005 (2004-2005) 2004-2005 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, the comment codes are listed numerically. In the second column,
you will find the comment text that is printed on SARs or on printed ISIRs. In the third column, we
describe changes to the comment code text. The fourth column we indicate if a C code is set. The C
code is typically generated when data match results require FAA resolution. However, the C code is
also generated if an applicant's response to drug question 31 requires resolution or FAA action. If there
is also a reject code associated with a comment code, the reject code will be listed in column five.

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

How are Comment Codes set?

Comment codes are set by the CPS on the student's transaction to provide information to the student and
to you in the Financial Aid Office.

How do the ISIR Comment Codes work?

The 2004-2005 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 should print on the ISIR. Each ISIR comment code is three
digits and can be found in positions 1670-1729 in the ISIR file. Comment codes are also printed on
SAR Acknowledgements and some are provided on regular SARs.

Where can I find more information about ISIRs?

The ISIR Guide, containing 2004-2005 ISIR information, 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.
