Overview
Preface
The Electronic Data Exchange (EDE) Technical Reference Guide is designed to meet the
reference needs of programmers and data processing staff.
The Department of Education (ED) provides two types of software to EDE participants:
• EDExpress 32-bit software for entering and editing electronic initial applications,
renewal applications, electronic corrections, duplicate requests, track documents,
package student aid packages, originate loans, and track disbursements for Pell and
Direct Loans.
• EDconnect software for sending and receiving electronic files.
Many participants need additional specifications for these functions to develop their own
software or develop software bridges between their own systems and EDExpress.
This guide provides sufficient information for you to build your own software to
complement the software provided by ED for sending and receiving Free Application for
Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) data. It includes information about record layouts, required
edits, print formats, specifications, and reject messages that are applicable for renewal
applications, electronic applications, Institutional Student Information Records (ISIRs),
and electronic corrections. There are separate technical references for Direct Loans,
Packaging, and Pell.
The EDE process is described in this section with additional information in the EDE
Processing Section. There are numerous references to the use of EDExpress software, so
this guide may be a useful reference tool because the processing steps remain essentially
the same.
October 1999 (2000-2001) EDE Technical Reference Overview

185H 1-1
Header and Trailer Records
Each batch of electronic records for initial and renewal applications, corrections,
duplicates, and Institutional Student Information Records (ISIRs), travels over the Student
Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) with a header and trailer record.
You should refer to the Record Layouts Section for instructions on individual header and
trailer record layouts (refer to Header Record Sent To/Received From the CPS and
Trailer Record Sent To/Received From the CPS).
Electronic Application
An Electronic Application begins with a signed Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) or Renewal Application, which is completed by the student. The data is entered
by the institution, exported to create a file, formatted, and transmitted via the SAIG to the
Central Processing System (CPS). Processed application records are transmitted back to
the institution’s destination point as ISIRs in separate message classes for initial and
renewal applications.
The Record Layouts Section includes information on record layouts (Initial
Application/Renewal Application Export Record Layout). Rejects are in the Processing
Codes/System Requirements Section. How to handle rejected applications is located later
in this section and the EDE Processing Section. The Printing Section includes details on
printing ISIRs.
Electronic Renewal Application Requests

The Electronic Renewal Application process involves three steps:
1. Requesting a file (known as Renewal Application Data (RAD) file) of 1999-2000
applicants eligible for Renewal Applications.
2. Receiving the RAD file.
3. Printing the Renewal Application for distribution to students.
The Record Layouts Section includes record layouts for the RAD request file
(RADD01IN) and RAD records received (RADD01OP). Information on reject reasons
can be found in the record layout. The Printing Section contains specifications for
printing the Renewal Application. In addition, electronic renewal application destination
file requests (Type 2) may need special address records if you want the Central
Processing System (CPS) to print your Renewal Applications. CPS only prints Renewal
Applications for the one-time bulk printing. These record layouts are also provided in the
Record Layouts Section (refer to RADD Request Address 1 Export Record Layout and
RADD Request Address 2 Export Record Layout). Both records may be required for the
RADD01IN file. Renewal Application entry and transmittal are discussed in EDE
Processing Section.

185H 1-2
Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR)
The Central Processing System (CPS) generates an ISIR in response to an electronic
application, correction, or duplicate request from an institution. It also automatically
generates an ISIR in response to a paper or electronic Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA), a paper or electronic Student Aid Report (SAR) correction
processed by the Multiple Data Entry (MDE) application processors, by another
institution (provided your Federal School Code is listed on the transaction) or by an
application or correction completed by FAFSA Express, FAFSA on the Web, Renewal on
the Web, or Corrections on the Web. Automatic ISIRs are sent to destination points for
every student indicating an institution serviced by the destination point on the application,
and to state agencies which elect to receive ISIRs for legal residents or students indicating
an institution in that state.
State agencies can request ISIRs for any student on the CPS database. This process is
known as the Federal Data Request (FDR). The ISIR contains all data except the National
Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) data.
The Record Layouts Section includes details on the ISIR record layouts. Comment codes
and text, verifiable rejects, and how to respond to each are in the Processing
Codes/System Requirements Section. The Printing Section contains specifications for
printing the ISIR. The record layouts for FDR are in the Record Layouts Section
(FDRS01IN), and the procedures for the FDR process are in the EDE Processing Section.
Electronic Corrections/Duplicate Requests

Institutions may submit corrections to application data electronically. The Record Layouts
Section includes the record layouts for submitting corrections (CORR01IN).
Institutions may make duplicate requests to receive a specific ISIR transaction for a
student provided their federal school code is listed on that transaction. The Correction and
Duplicate Request record layouts are found in the Record Layouts Section (section 3),
and are submitted in the CORR01IN message class.
Information about adding your Federal School Code to receive electronic data, making
signature corrections, requesting a duplicate ISIR, and using the correction record are
found in the EDE Processing Section (section 2).

185H 1-3
Handling Rejected Records
If the specifications in this guide are not followed on a particular record, an EDE Record
Level Error Report file will be transmitted to you, which may be printed as an error
report. (The layout is in the Record Layouts Section.)
The EDE Record Level Error Report contains the record’s serial number, the student’s
ID, the transaction number, the SAR field number in error, an error code and a text
explanation for the reason the record was rejected. Each field in error is reported. If it was
rejected due to invalid value, CPS will send the actual value of the data received from the
institution. A serial number and student ID is listed more than once in the EDE Error
Record Report when a record has more than one field in error. See the Processing
Code/System Requirements (section 4) for additional details about rejects. The following
is a list of message classes for reporting errors:
• SARE01OP Electronic Correction or Duplicate Request Errors
• FDRE01OP Rejected FDR Requests
• EAPR01OP Electronic Application Rejects
• RAPR01OP Electronic Renewal Application Rejects
• SIGA01OP Signature Batch Error/Acknowledgments
• EREP01OP Rejected RAD Request
Handling Batch Level Rejects

A Batch Level Error Report will be returned to you if an entire batch is rejected because
of an incorrect batch number. The message classes will be the same as used for rejected
individual records. The layout for this report appears in the Record Layouts Section
(section 3). The Processing Codes/System Requirements (section 4) has the specific error
codes and messages.

185H 1-4
What’s New for 2000-2001!
• 1999-2000/2000-2001 ISIR Cross-Reference table. This table is a cross-reference for
the 1999-2000 ISIR field number, start position and end position for the same field
for 2000-2001. This table can be found in Section 4, Processing Codes and System
Requirements.
• On the Reject Error Reports CPS will send a code as well as text that defines the
error.
• The following fields are new on the FAFSA this process year, and can be corrected:
° Father’s Name
° Father’s SSN
° Mother’s Name
° Mother’s SSN
° Drug Offense Conviction
• New Drug Offense Conviction question. The answer to this question can set a SAR C
flag. Eligibility for Title IV Aid may be suspended for conviction of violating federal
or state drug possession or sale laws.
• This year a dependent student who does not supply parental data will have an ISIR
with a C code.
• Prisoner File Match will be implemented with system startup in January 2000.

185H 1-5
What’s Changed for 2000-2001!
Some other significant changes have occurred to help make the Electronic Data Exchange
process easier.
• CPS will accept a partial answer for Legal Residence Date if they have included the
month or year. Valid content will be:
° CCYYMM Blank CCYY and Completed MM
° Completed CCYY and Blank MM
° Blank CCYY and Blank MM
• Parents can no longer be included in the count for Parent’s Number in College. (If a
parent is in college they will no longer be included in the count. For example, if
mother and son are in college the parents # in college would be 1 for the son.) To
override the edits performed by CPS the Financial Aid Administrator will need to do
a Professional Judgement.
• If a student lists a school that is not on the Federal School Code database the school
code field will be blank instead of 000000. The Federal School Code Housing Plan
will also be blank on the resulting ISIR.
• Comment Code number 006 has been revised to remind students to keep their
address with the CPS current.
• Comment Codes will also drop year references in the comments geared for
verification.
• SAR C codes will print on rejected ISIRs except for reject 16 so you can identify and
correct these match problems and ISIR reject in one transaction.
• Title IV Institution Code has been renamed to Federal School Code.
• FAA EFC Adjustment has been renamed to FAA Adjustment.
• For Web and FAFSA Express filers there are new message classes: SIGS01IN allows
institutions to send student or parent signatures to a student’s record that they are
listed on if the record is still in the FE/Web hold file. The Errors and
Acknowledgements will be returned in SIGA01OP. There is a new record layout for
signature corrections found in section 3, Record Layouts. ISIRs will be returned in
the SARR0A1OP message class.
• The verification flags have been combined into one flag on the ISIR that have an Y
or N to show if the student was selected for verification. On Duplicates, this flag may
be an asterisk (*) if a prior transaction was selected for verification.
• Assumption #1 was deleted. The remaining Assumptions were renumbered.
• YTD batches will have a batch number that starts with #I. They will be sent in the
YTDO01OP message class.
February 2000 (2000-2001) EDE Technical Reference Overview

185H 1-6
• EAC (Electronic Access Code) used by students to file Renewal FAFSA on the Web
is renamed to PIN. The PIN is used as the applicant’s signature for Renewal FAFSA
on the Web and Corrections on the Web. The PIN may also be used to access
personal financial aid information with NSLDS, DLSS, and Access America for
Students (AAFS).
• Students will be able to make corrections to their FAFSA data via the web. All data
elements on the SAR can be changed except the student’s SSN and Date of Birth.
• Dependency questions have been reordered to improve completeness by the students.
• There is a new NSLDS Post-Screening reason added to the NSLDS History Page.
• CPS will no longer highlight Alien Registration Number (ARN) on the SAR/ISIR
when students indicate they are U.S. citizens and provide an ARN.
• If taxes paid are greater than or equal to 35% of AGI a comment will print on the
SAR/ISIR.
• Graduate students who indicate they are enrolled in a teaching credential program
and have an eligible EFC will be on the Pell Eligible file.
• There is a new e-mail list serve, SFATECH, which is available for technical issues.

EDE Processing
Introduction
This section provides a more detailed description of the EDE process as a whole. It
provides instructions for each of the individual processes within EDE.
Electronic Application
The Electronic Application process allows destination points to enter application data and
send it to the Central Processing System (CPS) for processing. The application data can
be collected on either a Renewal Application or the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA). Once processed by the CPS the results of the Electronic Application are
transmitted back to the destination point.
EDExpress software, provided free to destination points by the U.S. Department of

Education (ED), allows financial aid administrators (FAAs) to enter the application
information into a personal computer. However, institutions may choose to develop their
own software instead. Regardless of whether the application data are entered using
EDExpress or other software, the data must adhere to ED’s editing rules in order to be
accepted by the CPS.
In the remainder of this section, specifications are provided for developing software to
provide the required Electronic Application functions.
October 1999 (2000-2001) EDE Technical Reference EDE Processing

185H 2-1
Electronic Application Process
The Electronic Application process involves five steps:
1. The student submits a completed and signed FAFSA or Renewal Application to the
institution.
2. The information from the application is key entered.
3. The application data is edited and corrected until a file of clean application records is
created. The data elements for each field are in the valid range with no inconsistencies
in the data. (For example, a student says he is single, yet provides income earned from
work for student and spouse.)
4. That file is formatted and transmitted to the CPS via the Student Aid Information
Gateway (SAIG).
5. Processed application records are transmitted back to the destination point as

Institutional Student Information Records (ISIRs), message class EAPS01OP for initial
applications and REAP01OP for renewal applications.
Receiving the Completed FAFSA or Renewal Application

Institutions participating in Electronic Applications must have their students complete and
sign a Renewal Application or FAFSA. The FAFSA form is provided by ED. The
completed and signed document must be kept on file at the institution.
Entering the Application Information

As part of application entry, you are responsible for ensuring that the data meets the field-
by-field criteria provided in the ‘Valid Field Contents’ column of the Application Record
Layout. The record created by your software must adhere to the record layout provided
later in Record Layout Section with the addition of a Carriage Return/Line Feed (CR/LF,
ASCII 13, 10 HEX 0D and 0A respectively) at the end of each record. Use of an end-of-
file mark (ASCII 26 or HEX 1A) is optional.
Formatting and Transmitting the Records

Use EDconnect, the transmission software provided by ED, to format your data records
and transmit them over Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG). The batch header and
trailer records are provided in the Record Layouts Section. Each batch to be transmitted
must start with a Header Record followed by the data records followed by the Trailer
Record.

185H 2-2
Receiving Processed Records
You will receive your processed application records in ISIR format in one of two message
classes: EAPS01OP for initial applications or REAP01OP for renewal applications.
Note: See the Printing Section for more information on printing ISIRs.
There may be instances when your records will not be accepted for processing by the
CPS. A rejected electronic initial application error report will be returned to you in the
message class EAPR01OP or RAPR01OP. See the Overview and Processing
Codes/System Requirements Sections for additional information concerning rejected
applications. You will find two layouts for rejects. One is for rejects at the batch level
(the whole batch rejects), EDE Batch Level Error Report Import Record Layout, and one
for rejects at the record level (individual record(s) reject), EDE Record Level Error
Report Import Record Layout.
Rejected Initial and Renewal Application Records

There are two categories of rejections for submitted application records:
transaction and compute rejects.
1. Transaction Rejects
A transaction reject prevents the application record from being processed. If a
record is rejected for one or more reasons, an error report is returned to the
institution in a message class titled EAPR01OP (see layout in the Record
Layouts Section). No ISIR is created. These rejects are also known as record
level rejects.
2. Compute Rejects
The CPS contains a series of edits that evaluate all incoming application data for
consistency and completeness. These edits apply to all data, from electronic and
paper input. An Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is not computed for an
application rejected for a Compute reject reason. However, an ISIR is produced.
Application ISIRs with a compute reject are returned in the EAPS01OP message
class. The reasons for the Compute reject are coded on the ISIR. Refer to the
Processing Codes/System Requirements Section for information on interpreting
these reject codes.

185H 2-3
There are two types of application compute reject reason codes, numeric and
alphabetic:
• Numeric: certain data items MUST be corrected before a valid ISIR can be
generated (Non-Verifiable).
• Alphabetic: certain data items must be either corrected or verified before a

valid ISIR can be generated (Verifiable). An alpha reject reason code is a
verifiable data element, meaning the data given is questionable but could be
correct.
In the paper system, a student can verify a data field by re-entering the same
information in the SAR correction column for the field in question. In the
electronic process, the institution may verify the data (reenter the data as a
"correction"), or set the appropriate reject override, and transmit the correction
record to the CPS. Data that must be verified or corrected in response to each
reject reason is provided in the Processing Codes/System Requirements Section.
A student’s record may not have an EFC if the record contains questionable data
and has an application reject reason code(s). The reject reason code(s) is found
in position 563-576 on the ISIR and explains the questionable field(s) and the
highlighted field(s).

185H 2-4
Electronic Renewal Application
Institutions participating in the “Electronic Renewal Application” service are able to request
2000-2001 Renewal Applications for returning students that contain 1999-2000 information
on file at the Central Processing System (CPS) as of October 1999. The Renewal
Application displays the 1999-2000 information. The student applicant either verifies the
1999-2000 information is still correct for 2000-2001 or updates the information.
EDExpress, provided at no cost, enables institutions to import the Renewal Application Data
file, print renewal applications, and enter and transmit completed renewal applications.
Institutions may choose to develop their own software. The Record Layouts Section
provides layout specifications for developing software to perform the required Renewal
Application functions.
Renewal Application Process

The Renewal Application process involves three steps:
1. Requesting a file of 1999-2000 applicants eligible for Renewal Application (this file
is known as the RAD file).
2. Receiving the RAD file.
3. Printing the Renewal Applications for distribution to students.
Once the student returns a completed Renewal Application to the institution, the data are
entered, edited, and transmitted to the CPS. The procedures for entering, editing, and
transmitting the Renewal Application are identical to those used for an initial electronic
application, except positions 478-486 (RAPP SSN) and positions 487-488 (RAPP Name ID)
must be completed for the CPS to process the Renewal Application.
Requesting the RAD File

Institutions participating in the Renewal Application process must first request a file of
eligible 1999-2000 applicants from the CPS. To be eligible, the 1999-2000 applicant must
have a transaction on file at the CPS with a computed Expected Family Contribution (EFC).
That transaction must not have a bad or foreign address, be flagged for Professional
Judgement, or have a Dependency Override, and there can be no duplicate current Social
Security Number (SSN) on file. Also, the student must not be in default on a Title IV loan
and must not be on the Department of Education Hold File.

185H 2-5
The RAD request must be made electronically. For 2000-2001, two methods are available to
request RAD files.
• Institutions can dial into CPS using the 3270 Emulator to connect to On-Line Query
to request these files. Instructions for dialing into the CPS using the 3270 Emulator
can be found in Action Letter #4 published in September 1999.
° Institutions can request that a PIN be mailed to their students instead of the
renewal application.
° If the renewal request is made before 11/5/99 and a request that CPS does not
print the Renewal applications, then the institution must print the Renewals and
distribute them to the applicants.
° If the renewal request is made after 11/5/99, the institution will not be required
to print the renewal applications.
° Institutions can request that an electronic file not be sent to them. If this option is
selected they can not request the electronic file again.
• Institutions can create a customized file of SSNs that can be transmitted to CPS via
EDconnect. If you choose this method, use the file format titled Type 2 Request
Individual RAD Records Description located in the Record Layouts Section
(Message Class RADD01IN). If you want the CPS to print and bulk mail your
Renewal Applications to an address other than the one associated with your
destination point, then you will also need to include the RAD Request Address 1 and
Address 2 records, following the header record. The CPS will only print and bulk
mail Renewal Applications to institutions that have made accepted requests during
the initial request period in October. Information on this process can be found in
Action Letter #4, published in September 1999.
Receiving the RAD Records

The CPS may reject RAD requests. If the request file is rejected, the file is returned to you
with reject reasons in message class EREP01OP. You will need to fix the errors and
resubmit the request by the deadline if you want CPS to print the Renewal Applications. You
must open the file and look in the error fields defined in the Record Layout Section (Type 2
Individual RAD Request Export Record Layout).
The RAD records are received in fixed-length records over the SAIG. The message class
of records will be titled RADD01OP.

185H 2-6
ISIR
The Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR) is a fixed-length record
containing reported information from the Free Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA), as well as key processing results. The ISIR does not contain the
names and addresses of the colleges the student plans to attend in 2000-2001.
Application processors translate this data to a 6-digit identifying code (Federal
School Code). The ISIR also does not contain the Preparer's name or address.
This data is not entered by the MDEs (application processors). For the most part,
all information printed by Central Processing System (CPS) on the Student Aid
Report (SAR) is on the ISIR.
Note: The average CPS processing time is less than 48-52 hours.
NSLDS Data
The ISIR for institutions carries National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS)
information, which is located at the end of the ISIR Record Description.
Note to State Agencies: NSLDS information is not carried on ISIRs for state
agencies.
ISIR Receipt Process

ISIRs are transmitted by CPS to the Student Aid Information Gateway (SAIG) in
batches containing a batch header record, one or more ISIRs, and a batch trailer
record. Descriptions of the contents of the ISIR are in the Record Layouts
Section. CPS Header and Trailer records are also described in the Record
Layouts Section and at the end of this section.
ISIR Types
There are four reasons why the CPS generates an ISIR:
1. ISIRs are automatically generated in response to an application or correction
entered at a site other than your institution or state agency. These "automatic
ISIRs" are generated following the entry of a paper FAFSA or SAR by the
MDE application processors or by an electronic application from a FAFSA
Express, FAFSA on the Web or Renewal on the Web user. They may also
be produced following the entry of an electronic application or correction by
another EDE institution. ISIRs resulting from a student correcting their data
on the web will be returned this way. Automatic ISIRs are sent to
institutional destination points in the SARA01OP message class. State
Agencies will receive Non-Resident ISIRs in the ESFN01OP message class
and Residents in the ESFR01OP message class.

185H 2-7
2. ISIRs are generated in direct response to electronic Initial or Renewal
applications, correction/duplicate and signature correction records submitted
by your institution. ISIRs are returned to destination points in the
EAPS01OP, REAP01OP, SARR01OP, and SARA01OP message classes,
respectively.
3. ISIRs are generated in response to a request by state agencies through the
Federal Data Request (FDR) process. This process allows agencies to
request a processed application record for any student on the CPS database.
ISIRs are returned to the State Agency’s destination point in FDRF01OP
message class.
4. ISIRs are system-generated due to reprocessing by the CPS, NSLDS post-
screening, and an applicant being released from hold. These ISIRs will be
returned in the SYSG01OP message class. Any ISIR that has a value in the
systems generated field will be returned in the SYSG01OP message class
except when the value is L or Blank.
New for 2000-2001: ISIRs from web corrections will be returned in the
SARA01OP message class. Plus, schools can send signature corrections and
receive ISIRs in the SARR01OP message class.
Automatic ISIRs for Institutions

All automatic ISIRs (for example, ISIRs generated in response to input by a site
other than your institution or state agency) are transmitted daily from the CPS to
the Student Aid Information Gateway (SAIG) in a message class titled
SARA01OP for institutions, ESFR01OP (State Residents), or ESFN01OP (Non-
Residents) for state agencies.
Each institution subscribing to the ISIR service will automatically receive one
ISIR for every student who has indicated the institution as one of their six
choices on the FAFSA.
If an ISIR receives a reject code of 15 or 16 (missing signatures), the institution

and state agency will receive the full ISIR electronically. As with other rejects,
an EFC will not be computed until the reject is resolved.
Requested ISIRs
Requested ISIRs are generated in response to input from the institution or state
agency. ISIRs requested by institutions are transmitted to the SAIG in one of five
message classes, depending upon the type of input.
• EAPS01OP
ISIRs in this message class are returned to the institution in response to
electronic initial applications. The institution will receive back one ISIR for
every initial application submitted that did not receive a reject. Refer to the
Record Layouts Section for EDE Batch or EDE Record Level Error Report
Record Layout and Processing Codes/System Requirements Section for
batch and record level reject error messages.

185H 2-8
• REAP01OP
electronic renewal applications. The institution will receive back one ISIR
for every renewal application submitted that did not receive a reject. Refer
to the Record Layouts Section for reject error report layout and Processing
Codes/Systems Requirements Section for batch and record level reject error
messages.
• SARR01OP
electronic corrections or duplicate requests. The institution will receive back
an ISIR for every correction or duplicate request submitted that did not receive
a transmission rejection. Refer to the Record Layouts Section for the EDE
Record Level Error Report Import Record Layout, and the Processing
Codes/System Requirements Section for record level error messages.
Note: An institution, with the student’s consent, is able to electronically add its
institution number to the list of school choices on the student’s ISIR record with
the Data Release Number (DRN). Instructions for this are explained later in this
section.
• SYSG01OP
ISIRs in this message class are sent to the institution as a result of a transaction
automatically created by the CPS. The institution does nothing to initiate these
ISIRs. There are several instances when CPS would generate an ISIR for a
student:
° Hold File status changes
° CPS Reprocessing of records due to formula change
° CPS receives changed information via NSLDS Post-Screening
• SARA01OP
Requested ISIRs in this message class are sent to the institution as a result of
the institution sending a signature for an applicant and/or the parent who filed
using one of the Web products or FAFSA Express. Automatic ISIRs in this
message class are also received from paper applications and corrections, from
another institution filing a paper application or electronic correction with your
school listed, or a student filing an application on the web or making
corrections on the web.
State Agency Options

State Agencies can combine processed Free Application for Federal Student Aid
(FAFSA) data from the Central Processing System (CPS) with common loan
application data to guarantee Federal student loans and/or with state data to
award state scholarships and grants. As mentioned before, the ISIR data returned
to state agencies does not include the NSLDS information.

185H 2-9
As destination points, State Agencies have two options for obtaining processed
FAFSA data:
• Automatic ISIR Processing
• A Federal Data Request (FDR)
Automatic ISIRs for State Agencies

Each state agency subscribing to the ISIR service may choose to automatically
receive one ISIR for every student who:
• Indicates that state on the FAFSA as the state of legal residence
• Is a non-resident but lists a college within the state
• Both of the above
Note: If the student indicates on the FAFSA more than one institution that is
located in your state, your state agency will receive only one ISIR.
Automatic ISIRs are transmitted daily from the CPS to Student Aid Internet
Gateway (SAIG) in one of two message classes:
• ESFR01OP Automatic ISIR data returned to State Agency, includes
residents of state
• ESFN01OP Automatic ISIR data returned to State Agency, includes non-

residents of state
Note: The state agency indicates what type of ISIRs (residents, non-residents or
both) it wants to receive on the Title IV WAN Letter of Application.

185H 2-10
Federal Data Request Processing (FDR)
A Federal Data Request (FDR) is the process by which a State Agency may
request the electronic processed application record for any student in the CPS
database.
In the case of students who are neither residents of the state nor attend an
institution in the state, an FDR may be made if the student has signed a loan or
state grant application that releases CPS data to the State Agency. The agency
must retain the signed application. When requesting and receiving this data from
CPS, use the following message classes:
• FDRS01IN State Agency requesting FDR
• FDRF01OP ISIR data returned to the State Agency
• FDRE01OP Rejected FDR request returned to the State Agency
• FDRU01OP FDR(s) not on CPS Database
Note: The record length of the FDR has changed to 450 bytes.
Requesting FDRs
To request a specific applicant's record, the agency must transmit over the
Student Aid Information Gateway (SAIG) the Social Security Number (SSN)
and the first two letters of the last name. Use the record layout FDR Export
Record Layout (FDRS01IN) in the Record Layouts Section. Use the following
steps to create a request for a single applicant’s record:
1. In the first position of the record, enter 1 to indicate this is a request for a
2000-2001 applicant transaction.
2. Leave positions 2 through 14 blank.
3. Enter 199 in positions 15 through 17. This indicates a request for an ISIR
record.
4. Enter the Student’s SSN as reported on the original application in positions

18 through 26.
5. In positions 27-28, enter the first two letters of the student’s last name as
entered on the original application.

185H 2-11
6. Leave positions 29 through 449 blank.
7. Enter F (FDR) in position 450.

Remember that before you send the file, you need to add a header record before
the FDR request record(s) and a trailer record after the FDR request record(s).
Requesting More than One FDR Record

Up to twelve FDRs can be requested in a single file (Message Class FDRS01IN).
If more than one record is requested, repeat steps 4 and 5 using the remaining
data fields on the FDR record. The second record will begin in position 46, the
third in position 77, the fourth in position 108, the fifth in position 139, the sixth
in position 170, the seventh in position 201, the eight in position 232, the ninth
in position 263, the tenth in position 294, the eleventh in position 325, and the
twelfth in position 356. To request more than 12 ISIRs, create an additional
record by repeating steps 1 through 7.
Response to an FDR Request

State agencies will receive one batch of ISIRs in response to each batch of FDR
records submitted. The batch, or message class, of ISIRs is FDRF01OP. It
contains one ISIR for every submitted FDR record that was not rejected.
If a requested record is not found on the CPS database after 30 days, notice is
returned to the requesting agency in message class FDRU01OP.
Rejected FDR Records

A transaction reject prevents the FDR record from being processed at the CPS. If
a record is rejected for one or more reasons, an error report is returned to the
agency in a message class titled FDRE01OP.

185H 2-12
Electronic Corrections
Institutions with destination points signed up for corrections are able to transmit
corrections to application data via the Student Aid Information Gateway (SAIG).
EDExpress allows institutions to enter and edit correction data according to

system requirements. It also creates an electronic correction record ready for
transmission using the communications interface software, EDconnect.
Institutions, however, may choose to develop their own software to enter, edit,
and format corrections data. Specifications for developing corrections software
are provided in the remainder of this section.
General Correction Entry Specifications

Only corrected information from a student's record, not the complete applicant
record, is transmitted to the Central Processing System (CPS). This approach
minimizes the transmission volume. Corrected information is transmitted as a
fixed-length record. The layout and description of this record is in the Record
Layouts Section, History Correction Export Record Layout (CORR01IN).
Use the following steps to create a correction record:

1. In the first position of the record, enter 1 (one) to indicate this is a
correction to a 2000-2001 applicant transaction.
2. In positions 2 through 10, enter the applicant's original Social Security

Number (SSN). This is the number reported by the applicant on the initial
application form and does not reflect any corrections to the SSN that might
have been made.
3. In positions 11 and 12, enter the first two letters of the applicant's last name.
These are the letters reported by the applicant on the initial application form
and do not reflect any corrections to the last name that might have been
made.
4. In positions 13 and 14, enter the transaction number of the applicant record
being corrected. For example, enter 01 to correct the first transaction on file
at the CPS. The transaction does not necessarily have to be the latest one on
file at the CPS. If the transaction number being corrected is not on the CPS
database, the record will be rejected. If you want to correct the most recent
transaction you can enter 99.
Note: When making a correction using transaction 99, field number 088, the
first Federal School code and field number 114, DRN must be provided on the
record.

185H 2-13
5. In positions 15 through 17, enter the Student Aid Report (SAR) number of
the SAR field being corrected. Each correctable field has a 3-digit SAR
number associated with it. For example, enter 001 to correct the student's
last name. The SAR numbers with valid field content are provided in the
Correction Data Entry Specifications table found in the Processing
Codes/System Requirements Section.
6. In positions 18 through 45, enter the new value for the field being corrected.
7. In positions 387 through 392, enter the Federal School Code of the
institution making the correction.
8. In positions 429-436, enter Transaction Receipt Date. This is the date you
received the correction information from the student.
9. In positions 445-449, enter the serial number, the sequential position of the
correction record in the batch. For example the first correction record has a
serial number of 00001, the second student’s 00002.
10. In position 450, enter H (history change).

Up to 12 SAR data fields can be corrected on a single record.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 using the remaining data fields on the correction record if
more than one field is being corrected. If more than twelve fields require
correction, an additional record must be created, repeating steps 1 through 10.
Both data records for the student have the same serial number.
Note: To correct a field to blank, enter a single asterisk (*) left-justified in that
field. The Correction Data Entry Specification table distinguishes which fields
can be corrected to blank as not all fields can be.
Detailed Data Entry Specifications

Each corrected value must meet certain standards; otherwise, the correction
record will be rejected. Field-by-field data entry specifications are provided in
the Processing Codes/System Requirements Section. For each field, these
specifications identify the type (character, numeric, or signed/numeric),
acceptable length, whether the field is correctable, whether the field is
correctable to blank, and the valid values for the correction. Keep the following
items in mind:
• Left justify the corrected value within the data field on the correction record,
while zero filling numeric fields up to the valid maximum length of the field.
For example, to correct the number of family members to 5, enter 05 in
positions 21 and 22, leaving positions 23 through 48 blank. To correct the
student's last name to Smith, enter SMITH in positions 21 through 25,
leaving positions 26 through 48 blank.

185H 2-14
• All 9s in a field indicate the reported or calculated value is greater than or
equal to the value of all 9s. Blanks are allowable in some fields.
• Fields can contain one of three data types:
° Character
° Numeric
° Signed Numeric
• A negative entry is acceptable for a limited number of fields. The Correction
Data Entry Specifications table in the Processing Codes/System
Requirements Section identifies the fields in which a negative is acceptable
under the Justify/Signed column and the valid field content column. Below
you will find a Signed Numeric Field table that also defines the signed
fields. With signed numeric fields, the sign is always implied in the right
most character of the field. For example, if the Student’s Adjusted Gross
Income field contains a value of negative 3507, it would appear as 00350P.
The following chart explains the conversion of the sign and the number:
Signed Numeric Fields:
{ +0 E +5 } -0 N -5
A +1 F +6 J -1 0 -6
B +2 G +7 K -2 P -7
C +3 H +8 L -3 Q -8
D +4 I +9 M -4 R -9
The table listed on the next two pages defines all the signed fields that can be sent to and
received from the CPS.

Making Signature Corrections
For 2000-2001, signature information is only required to resolve signature
rejects (rejects 15 and 16). Signature information does not need to be provided
on other standard history corrections. If you have a transaction that was either a
reject 15 or 16, simply correct SAR field #101 (Signed By) to A (Applicant) or
B (Both = Student and Parent), as appropriate.
If you need to add a signature to a students record on the Web hold file you will
want to use the layout for Signature Correction Export Record Layout found in
section 3, Record Layouts. You can correct the student or parent signature using
this layout. You will need to make sure the student included you on the application
or the correction.
Adding Your Federal School Code to Receive

Electronic Data
An institution cannot make an electronic correction if that institution has not
been designated on the applicant transaction. You can add your Federal School
Code to the list of schools receiving data. This change can be accomplished
electronically, along with correcting other fields on the record.
Follow these steps to add your institution number:

1. In the first position of the record, enter 1 to indicate that this is a correction
to a 2000-2001 applicant transaction.

have been made.
and does not reflect any corrections to the last name that might have been
made.
database, the record will be rejected. You can use transaction 99 to add your
school code the most recent transaction on the CPS Database.
5. Enter 114 in positions 15 through 17 (corresponding to the SAR Field #114,

the DRN.)
6. Enter the student's DRN in the data field positions 18 to 45 (Remember to

make it left justified, and leave any unused bytes blank.)

185H 2-18
Note: A unique DRN is assigned to each Title IV applicant. It appears only on
paper SARs and ISIR records generated in response to electronic applications. If
a valid DRN is not present on the correction record containing the institution
number change, the record will be rejected.
7. Enter the SAR field number associated with the Federal School Code
position being changed in positions 46 through 48. Possible field numbers
are 088, 090, 092, 094, 096, and 098.
8. Enter the Federal School Code in the data field positions 49 to 76.
• The number can only be changed to the number of the participating
Electronic Data Exchange (EDE) institution. Use this number to update
the (EDE Institution field, position 387-392). If it does not match the
number being changed, the record will be rejected.
• Institutions are able to modify the Federal School Code and make other
corrections to the applicant record on the same correction transaction.
9. Enter the date you created this record in positions 429-436, the EDE
Transaction Receipt Date.
10. Enter 00001 in positions 445-449, the serial number field. If you exceed 12
corrected fields, create a new record. The serial number on the second record
would also be 00001.
11. Enter an “H” in position 450, EDE Record Type.
Tips for Corrections

When your institution submits an ISIR correction to the CPS, we will use the specified
transaction as a template. We will make changes to the fields you specify in the correction
record, leaving other fields unchanged. Your institution code does not have to be the first
college choice on the transaction to be processed by the CPS. You will receive the
processed results in the SARR01OP message class-all other institutions listed on the
transaction will receive the new ISIR in the SARA01OP message class.
If you are submitting a dependency override or FAA Adjustment (professional judgment)

as part of the correction record, only your institution will receive the resulting corrected
transaction. Also, do not send a Dependency Override correction and the FAA
Adjustment to a transaction without an EFC. If there is not an EFC, send the Dependency
Override along with any other corrections necessary to obtain an EFC. Then submit the
FAA Adjustment to the transaction with the dependency override and the EFC.
(Remember to change a critical field that effects the EFC, when submitting a FAA
Adjustment.)

185H 2-19
Requesting a Duplicate ISIR
Institutions request duplicate ISIRs using the correction message class
(CORR01IN). To see a full layout refer to the Record Layout Section under
Duplicate Request Export Record Layout. Use the following steps to create a
record requesting a duplicate ISIR:
1. In the first position of the record, enter 1 (one) to indicate that this is a
correction to a 2000-2001 applicant transaction.
2. In positions 15 through 17, enter 199. This signifies a request for an ISIR
record. (Note: Leave positions 2 through 14 blank.)

have been made.
and does not reflect any corrections to the last name that might have been
made.
database, the record will be rejected.
6. In positions 387 through 392, enter the Federal School Code.
7. In positions 429 through 436, enter the Transaction Receipt Date, the date
you are requesting the duplicate transactions.
8. In position 450, enter D (duplicate).

Up to twelve duplicate ISIRs can be requested on a single record.
Repeat steps 2 and 3, using the remaining data fields on the duplicate record if
more than one record is requested. If more than twelve ISIRs are required, then
create an additional record by repeating steps 1 through 6.
Note: The institution can request, as a duplicate, any existing transaction for a
student as long as that transaction number contains the institution's number.
Transaction 99 can be used. If the latest transaction on the CPS database does
not include that institution, the request will be rejected.

185H 2-20
Response to a Correction/Duplicate Record
Institutions will receive one batch of ISIRs for each batch of correction records
submitted. The batch, or message class, of ISIRs is titled SARR01OP. It contains
one ISIR for every submitted student correction or student duplicate request, not
rejected for a transaction reject reason.
Rejected Correction/Duplicate Records

There are two categories of rejections for submitted correction records:
transaction and compute rejects.
1. Transaction Rejects
A transaction reject prevents the correction record from being applied to the
student's record. If a record is rejected for one or more reasons, an error report is
returned to the institution in a message class titled SARE01OP (see layout in the
Record Layouts Section). No ISIR is created.
2. Compute Rejects
The CPS contains a series of edits that evaluate all incoming application and
correction data for consistency and completeness. These edits apply to all data
from electronic and paper input. An Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is not
computed for a correction rejected for a Compute reject reason. However, an
ISIR is produced. Correction and Duplicate ISIRs with a compute reject are
returned in the SARR01OP message class. The reasons for the Compute reject
are coded on the ISIR. Refer to the Processing Codes/System Requirements
Section for information on interpreting these reject codes.
There are two types of application compute reject reason codes, numeric and
alphabetic:
• Numeric: certain data items MUST be corrected before a valid ISIR can be
generated (Non-Verifiable).
• Alphabetic: certain data items must be either corrected or verified before a

valid ISIR can be generated (Verifiable). Alpha reject reason code is a
verifiable data element, meaning the data given is questionable but could be
correct.
In the paper system, a student can verify a data field by re-entering the same
information in the SAR correction column for the field in question. In the
electronic process, the institution may verify the data (reenter the data as a
"correction"), or set the appropriate reject override, and transmit the correction
record to the CPS. Data that must be verified or corrected in response to each
reject reason is provided in the Processing Codes/System Requirements Section.
A student’s record may not have an EFC if the record contains questionable data
and has an application reject reason code(s). The reject reason code(s) is found
in position 563-576 on the ISIR and explains the questionable field(s) and the
highlighted field(s).

185H 2-21
CPS Header and Trailer Records
Data transmitted through the Student Aid Information Gateway (SAIG) are
separated by message class for identification and processing purposes. Each
message class consists of the following segments:
• Header record
• Data record(s)
• Trailer record
Data records vary by processing function. Each record format is provided in the
Record Layout Section of this Technical Reference.
Note: You can find additional information on Renewal Application requests in

the Overview Section, and in the Electronic Renewal Application information
printed earlier in this Section. You will also find information on Renewal
Application requests in Action Letter # 1, published in June 1999, and Action
Letter #4, published in September 1999.
Each batch of data records must be preceded by a header record and followed by
a trailer record. The end of each record (header, trailer, and data) is marked by a
CR/LF (carriage return/linefeed, ASCII 13, 10). An EOF marker (end of file,
ACSII 26) is optional.
The format and content of header and trailer records are found in the Record
Layout Section:
• Received from the Central Processing System (CPS) message header and
trailer records -- those records produced by the CPS to send to the
destination point such as SARA01OP.
• Sent to CPS message header and trailer records -- those records produced by
the destination point to send to the CPS, such as CORR01IN messages.
Note the following about batch headers and trailers:
• The header and trailer records are the same lengths as the detail (data)
records.
• Only data records of the same type (e.g., renewal applications) and the same
year can be batched together. (There is one exception - Corrections and
Duplicates can be batched together.)
• The Counts in the trailer are for the number of student records, not the
number of data records.
Note the following about batch numbers:
• Destination points are responsible for supplying a unique batch number on
the header and trailer records sent to the CPS.

185H 2-22
• The structure of the 23-character unique batch number is as follows:
#X1ZZZZZZCCYYMMDDHHMMSS
where,
#X = the record type indicator, with a pound sign (#) followed
by the character below to signify the record type:
A = Export Initial Applications
B = Export Renewal Applications
C = Export Corrections/Duplicates
F = Export FDRs
G = System Generated
S = Signatures
1= year indicator (always “1” for 2000-2001 data)
ZZZZZZ = the 6-digit valid Federal School Code
CCYYMMDD = the current date in century, year, month, day

format
HHMMSS = the current time in hours, minutes, seconds

format
Example:
A batch number of #C1E1234520000509141532 would signify a batch of 2000-
2001 corrections transmitted to the CPS from an institution with a 6-digit code of
E12345 on May 9, 2000 at 2:15:32 PM.
• Below are some of the messages received from the CPS if there is a problem
with the batch number.
1. BATCH ID NOT EQUAL TO: #A, #B, #C or #F

2. BATCH NUMBER INCOMPLETE, MISSING, OR INVALID CHARS
3. DATE IS INVALID
4. YEAR INDICATOR IS NOT EQUAL TO "1"
5. TIME IS NOT NUMERIC
6. INST CODE IN BATCH # NOT SERVICED BY DESTINATION
Note: Non-unique batch numbers will be considered a duplicate batch and will
not be processed by the CPS.

Summary of Tables
In this section you will find several tables that will assist you when reviewing files.
1999-2000/2000-2001 ISIR Cross-Reference

This NEW table is a cross reference of the 1999-2000 Institutional Student Information
Records (ISIR) field number, start position, and end position with the 2000-2001 ISIR
field number, start position, and end position.
Table of Reject Codes and How to Respond to Each

This table is used to determine what the reject code on a Student Aid Report (SAR)
means. It also tells you how to correct the reject and if there are any comment codes
associated with this reject.
Batch Level Error Messages

This table associates reject codes at the batch level along with the text for that reject code
and a description of the error and a resolution. These error messages mean the batch was
not processed. The structure of the file was not valid and the Central Processing System
(CPS) was not able to process the file. You will need to fix the file and send it to the CPS
again for processing. No Institutional Student Information Records (ISIRs) will be
generated when there is a Batch level error.
Record Level Error Messages

This table reports the record level reject codes. The actual text for each reject code, a
description of the error and a resolution for each error is also listed here. These error
messages mean that the individual student record was not processed. Any student in the
batch that did not have a record level error message will have an ISIR processed for them.
(Those ISIRs will be sent back later in another file.) You will need to fix any student
record with a record level error message and send it to the CPS again for processing so an
ISIR will be generated.
Assumption Overrides
This table associates the override codes with the assumption being made. It also explains
what will happen if you use this code and an example of when you would use this code.
SAR/ISIR Correction Flags Correction/Highlights

This table is used to determine what fields were corrected in the previous transaction or
what fields are highlighted on this ISIR. It also defines the field positions for the SAR
Field, the FAFSA field name, and the number on the FAFSA.
NSLDS Loan Program Codes

These codes are used to determine the loan program code on up to 12 loans in the NSLDS
portion of the ISIR.

185H 4-2
Current Status Codes
These codes are used to determine the current status on up to 12 loans in the NSLDS
portion of the ISIR.
State/Country/Jurisdiction Codes
This table is used to determine the valid state abbreviations used for Students Permanent
State, Student’s Driver’s License State Code and for Student and Parent State of Legal
Residence.
Correction Data Entry Specifications

This table is used in conjunction with the History Correction Export Record Layout found
in the Record Layout section. This table defines the SAR Field number and field length
of the field. It defines what data is valid to send in on a correction record as well as if it is
a signed value, the justification, and if the field can be corrected to blank.
ISIR Comment Codes and Text

This table associates ISIR comment codes with the text for the code. It will also tell you if
this comment sets the C code and if a reject code is associated with the code. This is
helpful when you are trying to resolve rejects because you know which comments you
need to pay special attention to.

by August 15, 2001, or your last day of enrollment, whichever comes first. Other student aid programs
have different deadlines. See your FAA for more information.
126 Your application record was compared with the National Student Loan Data System
(NSLDS). The NSLDS confirmed that you have made satisfactory arrangements to repay
one or more defaulted federal student loans. Please continue to make payments as
provided in your agreement to avoid becoming permanently ineligible for further
federal student assistance.
127 19 It may be too late to submit any corrections to your ISIR. If you want to be
considered for a Federal Pell Grant, your school must receive a complete, correct ISIR
no later than August 15, 2001, or your last day of enrollment, whichever comes first.
Other student aid programs have different deadlines. Under certain circumstances,
students selected for verification have an additional 60 days from their last day of
enrollment, or August 15, 2001, whichever comes first, to submit corrections. Contact
your FAA for more information.
128 We were unable to determine your eligibility because the information you submitted on
your application or on your ISIR was incomplete or inconsistent. Unless you are
completing verification, it may be too late for you to make corrections or give us any
more information for this year. If you are still completing verification and you need
to correct your data, contact the Financial Aid Administrator at your school for
assistance. Your school must have your corrected ISIR no later than August 15, 2001.

131 Y To receive federal student aid, you cannot be in default on any U.S. Department of
Education student loan. Because of processing problems we were unable to determine
whether you are in default on a loan. Contact your FAA for more information.
132 Y Our records indicate that you are in DEFAULT on a federal student loan. You are not
eligible to receive any federal student aid until your default has been resolved.
133 Y Our records indicate that you received at least one overpayment of federal student
aid funds. You are required by law to repay any funds received from the federal
student aid programs to which you were not entitled. Until your overpayment has been
resolved, you are ineligible to receive any federal student assistance.

(NSLDS). However, no financial aid history information was found for printing on your
ISIR.
138 Y We matched your social security number (SSN) with the National Student Loan Data
System (NSLDS), but neither name nor date of birth on the NSLDS record match the infor-
mation on your student aid application. Therefore this ISIR does not contain the
financial aid history that is associated with your reported SSN. You should review
your name, SSN, and date of birth and work with your FAA to resolve discrepancies.
139 NOTE: You reported a value(s) that exceeds the amount of space allowed on the ISIR.
This value appears on your ISIR as all nines. Contact your FAA to see how this affects
your EFC calculation.
(NSLDS). The NSLDS confirmed that your social security number is not associated with
any previous financial aid history.
141 Y You changed your response to citizenship or you changed the Alien Registration Number
verified with INS. You must submit proof of your citizenship status to your FAA.
142 Y The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) could not confirm your statement that
you are an eligible alien noncitizen because there is a question about your Alien Registration
Number. You must submit proof of your alien noncitizen eligibility to your school within 30
days after you receive this ISIR. If you fail to submit proof within 30 days, or longer if your school
allows, you may be found ineligible for federal student aid.
143 Your citizenship status has been confirmed by the Immigration and Naturalization
Service (INS), and you meet the citizenship requirements for federal student aid.
144 Y The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) did not confirm your statement that
you are an eligible alien noncitizen. You must submit proof of your alien noncitizen eligibility to
your school within 30 days after you receive this ISIR. If you fail to submit proof
within 30 days, or longer if your school allows, you may be found ineligible for federal student aid.
145 8 According to Social Security Administration (SSA) records, the social security number
you provided belongs to a deceased person. If the social security number you reported
is incorrect, you should correct your social security number in Step One on your ISIR
or contact your FAA. If the number in Step One is correct, you must contact an SSA
office to resolve this problem.
146 Y We sent your application to Social Security Administration (SSA) to verify your citi-
zenship status. The SSA did not confirm that you are a U.S. citizen. You need to pro-
vide your school with documentation of your citizenship status before you can receive
federal student aid. If you are an eligible noncitizen, you must correct "Citizenship
Status" on this ISIR and provide your Alien Registration Number.
147 You reported that both of your family members are in college. We have assumed the
number in college should be one because your parent should not be included in the answer
to this question.
148 You reported the same value for number of family members and number in college. We

149 If all the information on this ISIR is correct, you may be eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant and other
federal student aid in 2000-2001. Your FAA will determine whether you meet all eligibility requirements
to receive aid. The amount of aid will depend on the cost of attendance at your school, your enrollment
status (full-time, three-quarter-time, half-time, or less than half-time), Congressional budget restrictions,
and other factors.
HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO NOW: Review the information on this ISIR. If any of the
information is incorrect, make corrections by following the instructions given to you by your FAA. IF
ALL THE INFORMATION IS CORRECT, you do not need to submit the ISIR to the schools you listed.
All schools listed will receive the information electronically.
150 Read this letter carefully and review each item on this Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR).
You may submit corrections to the information by following the instructions given to you by your
Financial Aid Administrator (FAA).
151 If all the other information on your ISIR is correct, you do not need to return it to us. For additional
help with your ISIR, contact your school Financial Aid Administrator (FAA) or the Federal Student
Aid Information Center at 1-800-4FED-AID (1-800-433-3243). If your address changes, notify your
FAA.

on the amount you reported in student’s adjusted gross income. Please review the answers to these
items and make any corrections, if necessary.
156 When you applied, you told us that your parents would file their 1999 income tax return but hadn’t yet. If
your parents have now filed their 1999 tax return, correct any items in Step Four of this ISIR to reflect the
information as reported on their tax return. If your parents still haven’t filed their 1999 tax return, notify
your FAA once they file if any tax information changes.
157 When you applied, you told us that you would file your 1999 income tax return but hadn’t yet. If you have

any tax information changes.
158 You may not be eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant because you reported that you have a bachelor's
degree or you are working on a degree beyond a bachelor’s degree, or both. Your FAA will determine
what types of federal student aid you are eligible to receive. All the schools that you listed will receive
your application information electronically.
161 As we indicated on your previous ISIR, your application has been selected for review in a process called
verification. If you have not already been instructed, your school will instruct you to provide certain
financial documents.
162 Y The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) did not confirm that you are or will be a qualifying veteran for
receiving federal student aid for the 2000-2001 school year. If this is correct, you should have provided
your parents’ information in Step Four. If you did not, you must provide the information in Step Four and
you and your parent must sign the Certification statement at the end of your ISIR. If you believe you are
or will be a qualifying veteran, you must contact a VA office to resolve this problem.

Printing ISIRs
The following information will assist the institution or state agency in printing the data on
a received Institutional Student Information Record (ISIR):
• Assumed Values
• Correction Flags
• Highlight Flags
• Rejected ISIRs
• Comments
• Field Types
Printing Assumed Values

“Assumed Values” reflect suppositions made by the Central Processing System (CPS) in
determining the applicant’s Expected Family Contribution (EFC). Assumptions are made
when certain information is not reported that is necessary for the EFC calculation or
when reported information is inconsistent. (Some unreported information will result in a
rejected transaction rather than assumptions.) The CPS uses the assumed value in place of
the reported value when calculating the EFC.
For certain fields, the only assumption ever made by the CPS is zero. The ISIR will
contain zeros for these assumption fields. (For example, ISIR field 247, Assumed
Student’s U.S. Tax Paid.) On the ISIR, an asterisk (*) must print to the left of the field
title indicating an assumption was made. The assumed value must print in place of the
reported value. If a field is both assumed and highlighted, an asterisk (*) must be printed
to the left of the field title. Positions 1311-1408 of the ISIR all contain CPS assumption
fields.

Printing Correction Flags
“Correction Flags” on the ISIR (positions 633-752 on the ISIR layout) indicate changes
to FAFSA data processed by the CPS (refer to the SAR/ISIR Correction Flag table
format). These fields are correctable and provide a comparison reference between the
SAR question number and ISIR field positions. Any field containing a correction flag
will have a value of 1. All other correction flag fields will each have a value of zero. A
zero will always be carried on those fields that are not correctable. On the ISIR, a pound
sign (#) must print to the right of the field variable that was corrected. Correction flags
are cumulative (i.e., the flag will be carried on all subsequent transactions).
Printing Highlight Flags

“Highlight Flags” on the ISIR (positions 753-872 on the ISIR layout) indicate data
highlighted in bold face on the Student Aid Report (SAR), based on FAFSA data
processed by the CPS (refer to the SAR/ISIR Correction/Highlight fields table format).
These fields are highlighted and provide a comparison reference between the SAR
question number and ISIR field positions. Any field containing a highlight flag will have
a value of 1. All other highlight flag fields will each have a value of zero. On the ISIR,
the letter ‘h’ must print to the left of the field title that was highlighted. If the field is both
highlighted and assumed, an asterisk (*) must print to the left of the field title.
Rejected ISIRs
Applications and corrections submitted to the CPS, regardless of the input type or source,
can be rejected for incomplete, illogical, or inconsistent data. An EFC will not be
computed for a rejected application transaction. Transactions can be rejected for multiple
reasons. Up to seven two-digit reject reason codes are carried on the ISIR. The reject
reason codes and resolution in response to each reject reason are described in a table in
the Processing Codes/System Requirements Section.
Comments
Up to 20 three-digit numbers can appear on the ISIR record, indicating which comments
would appear on Part One of a SAR from any paper application processor. Some
comments contain critical information regarding the student’s status. The comment text
and associated three-digit comment codes appear in the Processing Codes/System
Requirements Section.

185H 5-2
Field Types
Fields can contain one of three types of data: character, numeric (N), or signed numeric
(S/N). All 9s in a field indicate that the reported or calculated value is greater than or
equal to the value of all 9s. Blanks are allowable in some S/N and N fields. With signed
numeric fields, the sign is always implied in the right most character of the field. For
example, if the Student’s Adjusted Gross Income field contains a value of negative 3507,
it would appear as 00350P. The following chart explains the conversion of the sign and
the number:
Signed Numeric Fields:
{ +0 E +5 } -0 N -5
A +1 F +6 J -1 0 -6
B +2 G +7 K -2 P -7
C +3 H +8 L -3 Q -8
D +4 I +9 M -4 R -9
Printing the ISIR

An ISIR must be printed according to the ED-specified format. You may develop your
own software to print ISIRs. The ED-specified format and printing specifications are
found on the following pages. One format will be printed per selected applicant,
regardless of the student’s dependency status.
The printed ISIR is two pages. Specifications for printing the ISIR follow the format. For
each relevant data element, the specifications identify how codes on the record should be
translated for printing on the ISIR. For example, if the Citizenship Status code on the
ISIR record equals 1, “U.S. CITIZEN” must be printed for Citizenship Status.
Note: All signed fields will have an extra byte printed.

185H 5-3
Printing the Renewal Application
EDExpress provides institutions with the ability to print Renewal Applications for
returning students based upon 1999-2000 Renewal Application Data (RAD) received
from the CPS. Institutions, however, may choose to develop their own software to print
Renewal Applications.
The required format for the Renewal Application are provided to software developers and
are found at the conclusion of this section. Specifications for printing the Renewal
Application follow the format. For each relevant data element, the specifications identify
how codes on the RAD record should be translated for printing on the Renewal
Application. For example, if the Student’s Marital Status code on the RAD record equals
2, “MARRIED” must be printed for the Student’s Marital Status.
With two exceptions, all data printed on the Renewal Application will originate from the
RAD file requested by the user from the CPS. The institution must print (1) its own name
and (2) the Federal School Code in the upper left corner of the first page of the Renewal
Application.
If an assumption was made during the 1999-2000 processing, the assumed value will be
carried on the 2000-2001 RAD file and printed on the Renewal Application. There are 10
fields that can have an assumed value. Each of the 10 fields will have a one-position flag
on the RAD record. If a flag is set to 1, an asterisk (*) must print to the left of the
appropriate field value on the Renewal Application, indicating the printed value was
assumed. The 10 fields are noted on the print specifications that follow.
One format will be printed per selected applicant, regardless of the student’s dependency
status. The Renewal Application is four pages in length. Pages one through three display
RAD from 1999-2000 and collect updates for 2000-2001. Page four is the Certification
and Signature page.

Optional Testing with the Central Processing System
The certification testing process is optional for all Electronic Data Exchange participants.
Testing is available for institutions that choose not to use the EDExpress software to
create history corrections. This testing can take place after all enrollment forms for Title
IV WAN have been filled out and submitted and the network connectivity test completed.
You can receive the 50 test ISIR records, and you may also request the file by calling the
number listed below.
1. To begin the process users will need to contact CPS Customer Service at 800-330-
5947.
2. CPS will then send a file containing 50 test ISIRs to the user’s mailbox.
3. The ISIR file will need to be downloaded from the Student Aid Internet Gateway
(SAIG) network and brought into the user’s system.
4. Print a sample of these ISIRs to verify that this process has worked successfully.
5. Make corrections to the 10 ISIRs specified on the following pages. This will entail
entering changes to various fields on student records and saving these revisions.
6. Once all updates are entered, the user’s system should batch up the corrections into a
CORR01IN.DAT file that the user will need to transmit via the SAIG to CPS.
7. Within 3 days, a representative from CPS will contact the user with the results of the
test. If there were errors with the correction file, you will want to make the
appropriate changes suggested to your system and then resubmit the full correction
file again.
Note to 3rd Party Vendors and Custom System Participants: The test cases
mentioned above can be used to test your systems. Simply call CPS Customer Service and
request the 50 test cases be placed in your SAIG mailbox. Ten of the 50 test cases have
been run through the compute process of the CPS and are “realistic” scenarios of student
paper applications. The history correction cases provided on the subsequent pages are
corrections to these 10 ISIRs. Copies of the 10 printed ISIRs are provided in the section
for reference purposes.

185H 6-9
History Correction Test Cases
To better assist in testing the history correction process, 10 of the 50 test ISIR records,
which you can receive from the Central Processing System (CPS), have been run through
the CPS compute process. The following history test cases can be used as stand-alone
corrections (those without an ISIR on file) or corrections to the corresponding ISIR in the
test file. Use the following correction cases to test the history correction process with the
CPS or to test vendor software correction processing:
