View ISIRs Received

You can view Institutional Student Information Records (ISIRs) received for a student. An ISIR is essentially an institution’s copy of the student’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which also contains key processing results and National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) financial aid history. ISIR refers to all processed student information records that are sent electronically to institutions by the Central Processing System (CPS). The purpose of the ISIR Received form is to allow the financial aid administrator to view and edit the ISIR information or request an ISIR using the Data Release Number (DRN) via the verification or correction process.

The fields displayed on the ISIR Received form are pertinent to the financial aid packaging process. They are not a reflection of all the fields on the ISIR. The only way to see all the fields on the ISIR is to select the Print option.

The top section of the form displays the ISIR transactions for the selected student and award year. Multiple ISIR records are displayed if the ISIR was subject to corrections. The transaction ID (last 2 digits of the ISIR ID) is incremented each time a correction is made.

The bottom section of the form displays the codes for the ISIR record selected in the top section of the form. You can view the verbiage of the codes by selecting the button.

Procedure to View ISIRs Received

1. Select a Student and navigate to the ISIRs Received tile.

2. In the ISIRs Received form, select an Award Year from the drop-down list. The ISIRs received for the selected award year are displayed in the grid.

   Note: The Award Year drop-down list contains the current award year and 7 previous award years. The interface meets the record retention requirements defined in the FSA Handbook

   Correction Date Indicates the date of the correction if a financial aid administrator initiated the ISIR correction process. Date Received The date when the ISIR was imported into Anthology Student. EFC/SAI The dollar amount in the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) field is based on a formula to determine the financial strength of a student's family and the student's need for Title IV assistance. For award years 2024-25 and later, the EFC is replaced with the Student Aid Index (SAI). ISIR ID The ISIR ID consists of the student’s Social Security Number, the student's initials, and a 2-digit transaction ID. The transaction ID is incremented every time an ISIR correction is made. Matched Indicates whether the ISIR was matched to a student record in Anthology Student. Pell Eligibility Indicates whether the student is eligible to receive a Pell Grant (Y/N).

   Recalculated EFC/SAI The Recalculated Estimated Family Contribution (EFC) is displayed if the financial aid administrator initiated the ISIR correction process which caused the EFC to change. For award years 2024-25 and later, the EFC is replaced with the Student Aid Index (SAI). SULA The Subsidized Usage Limit Applies (SULA) flag indicates whether the student is subject to the 150% Direct Subsidized Loan limitation. If the flag is set to “Yes,” the student is a “new borrower” and is subject to the 150% Direct Subsidized Loan Usage Limit. To avoid losing the interest subsidy on a Direct Loan, the student must complete the chosen program within 150% of the published program length. Verification Indicates whether the student’s ISIR is selected for verification. After the student is selected, he or she will remain selected for the current processing year. This data comes from the 'Student Is Selected for Verification' field on the ISIR record layout. Y = selected for verification N = Not selected for verification * = Selected for verification on a subsequent transaction Verification Group Students who are selected for verification are placed in groups (V1, V4, etc.) to determine which information must be verified. Verification Complete Indicates whether the verification of the student's ISIR is complete. The column displays a 'Y' when the verification is complete. It displays an 'N' when the verification is not complete. After you have checked the ISIR and clicked 'Accept as Verified' on the ISIR Verification Results form, the 'Verification Complete' field is updated from 'N' to 'Y'. If you have already performed the verification for this award year and received another ISIR for the same award year, the 'Verification Complete' column displays an 'X" and the 'Verification' column displays a 'Y'.

   The values in the Verification Complete, Matched, and Corr. Date columns are populated by Anthology Student. The remaining values are extracted from the ISIR.

   Note: When you have completed the verification process and an ISIR is designated as Accurate, Anthology Student recognizes any subsequent ISIR with the same Verification Group as also being Accurate if all the verifiable data elements are exactly the same as the ISIR that has already been successfully verified. You do not need to verify the ISIR again when it has the same data that’s been verified already, and the student is not added to the ISIR Verification Hold Group again. You can configure this option under Settings > System > General > No ISIR V Group reapplied to Hold. The default for this setting is Yes/True (SyRegistry Regkey='NoVGroupReappliedHold').

3. Select a link in the ISIR ID column to populate the Codes column in the bottom section of the form.

   In Regulatory US 24.5 and later, simply select an record in the grid to view the ISIR data.

   C Codes Codes that result from problems with one or more of the data matches on the ISIR. C Codes must be resolved for financial aid to be processed. Comment Codes The Central Processing System (CPS) adds comment codes and text to the student’s transaction to provide information to the student and the Financial Aid Administration (FAA) about the student’s processed FAFSA.

   Reject Codes Reject Codes can be alphabetic or numeric. Some reject reasons are verifiable—that is, the student can confirm the questionable data by reentering the same value or correcting it to a different value. Other reject reasons are not verifiable; the questioned data must be changed or provided. In all reject situations, the questioned information is highlighted on the SAR, and an EFC is not calculated. School Codes Unique codes assigned by the Department of Education for schools participating in the Title IV federal student aid programs. Students can enter these codes on the FAFSA to indicate which schools they want to receive their financial application results. The School Codes are configured in Anthology Student under Campus Setup > Locations. A Federal School Code is always six characters: 0 (zero), G, B, or E, and a 5-digit number. Anthology Student supports only numeric school codes. If the Federal School Code for your institution contains the letter G, B, or E, replace the letter with a zero (0).

   If the ISIR is not matched:

   • When selecting the ISIR ID, the following message is displayed:

     This ISIR does not have a matching School Code. To request a new ISIR, select the Corrections button and enter a Data Release Number.

   • The fields for C Codes, Reject Codes, and Comments Codes are not populated.

   When multiple campuses are configured in Anthology Student, an ISIR can be imported and stored in the database under one campus (based on the school code on the ISIR) while a student record exists under another campus (with a different school code).

   If a user at the campus that does not have the matching school code attempts to access the ISIR for the student, the ISIR Received form will display the record along with the following message:

   This ISIR does not have a matching School Code. To request a new ISIR, please select the Corrections button to enter a DRN.

4. If you want to view or print the ISIR, select the View/Print button. The Print ISIR pop-up is displayed

   

   Select whether you want to print the ISIR Signature Page and/or the FTI (Federal Tax Information). Both options default to No.

   Select the IRS Publication 1075 link for details about data security.

   Select the Print button. The ISIR will be displayed in a separate browser tab. You can print or download the ISIR from the browser.

   Regulatory US 24.5.0 (with Anthology Student 24.3.0 or later) enables staff members to view the ISIR in an inline frame that can be:

   • Resized
   • Maximized and returned to its original state via button or double-click on the title bar
   • Dragged anywhere on the screen
   • Docked to the left or right side of the screen
   • Closed via the x button

   

   The icon in the title bar opens the ISIR PDF in a new browser tab.

   The inline frame remains open if you navigate to other pages in the Student Web App.
