DATE: August 20, 2004

The Central Processing System (CPS) wishes to alert you to an incorrect deadline date in 2003-2004 SAR/ISIR/Web Comment Codes 125, 127, and 128 and SAR Acknowledgment Comment Code 9. In addition, SAR/Web Comment Code 127 text incorrectly states the number of days students selected for verification have to submit a complete, correct SAR for payment for the 2003-2004 award year.

** Correction Deadline Date Update ***

2003-2004 SAR/ISIR/Web Comment Codes 125, 127, and 128, and SAR Acknowledgment Comment Code 9, have incorrect 2003-2004 correction deadline dates.

  • On August 18, 2004, we corrected 2003-2004 SAR comment codes 125, 127 and 128, and SAR Acknowledgment Comment Code 9, to define September 7, 2004 as the deadline date instead of August 16, 2004.
  • On August 22, 2004, SAR Web Comment Codes 125, 127, and 128 will be corrected to define September 17, 2004 as the deadline date instead of August 16, 2004.

In addition, for SAR/Web Comment Code 127 we are correcting the number of days students who have been selected for verification have to submit a complete, correct SAR for payment for the 2003-04 award year. Currently, Comment Code 127 states that "students selected for verification have an additional 60 days from their last day of enrollment, …, to submit a complete, correct SAR for payment." The correct number of days is actually 120.

** Note to EDExpress Users **

ISIR Comment Codes 125, 127, and 128 will not be updated in EDExpress for Windows 2003-2004 to reflect the corrected deadline dates. If you are an EDExpress for Windows 2003-2004 user and distribute printed ISIR reports with ISIR Comment Codes to your students, please be aware of the inaccurate deadline date in these comment codes and advise your students accordingly.

** 2003-04 Processing Deadlines **

More information about all 2003-2004 application processing deadlines can be found in the Federal Register. 2003-04 deadlines were published in a Federal Register notice on March 10, 2004 [make this a link to the federal register notice at http://ifap.ed.gov/fregisters/FR031020041.html]. On July 8, 2004, a correction notice was published in the Federal Register [make this a link to the federal register notice at http://ifap.ed.gov/fregisters/FR07082004.html], which changed one of the correction deadlines from September 6 to September 7, 2004 to avoid having the deadline fall on the Labor Day holiday.
