ISIR Corrections [5027]

 

 

          

 

Module Description

This module shall enable you to VIEW the status of ISIR corrections sent to CPS through RGMSMS as well as enter Student Data Release Numbers (DRN) to request ISIRs for applications already on file at CPS.

·Making corrections to an ISIR is very similar to entering a FAFSA in RGMSMS.  In fact, the same screen is used. ISIR corrections are not entered in this module. Make corrections in the FAFSA module.

·If the correction is pertaining to a student’s incorrect SS#, do not send a corrected ISIR. Instead, go to the SAR and select the “New FAFSA” button at the bottom. Complete a New FAFSA using the student’s correct SS#. Correcting a SS# through ISIR corrections will not change the ISIR ID# to match the correct SS#.

REQUESTING A DUPLICATE ISIR

 

A Data Release Number (DRN) is a four-digit number assigned to a FAFSA application by the U.S. Department of Education and printed on the corner of a Student Aid Report (SAR).  When you send a FAFSA application and ED finds that it already exists in their system but under a different school the, FAFSA application is sent back to the school as a reject, stating “ISIR for the student already exists”.  The school needs to send a DRN request and ED will re-send the ISIR and link it to your school.
