RE: Draft 2003-2004 ISIR Record Layouts Available

We have posted draft versions of the 2003-2004 ISIR Record Layouts and Cross Reference Table on the Department's SFAdownload Web site (located at fsadownload.ed.gov). These drafts will ultimately become Section 3 and part of Section 4 of the 2003-2004 EDE Technical Reference.

Draft record layouts are used by schools that need to design software systems to interface with ED's software in order to process applications and package student financial aid awards for the 2003-2004 cycle. The final version of the 2003-2004 EDE Technical Reference will be available by mid-November 2002.
