| AwardYear: 1998-1999 Edition: PostSecondary Part: 2 - - The Application Process SectionNumber: SectionTitle: The "School Use Only" Box PageNumbers: 25 The "School Use Only" Box The School Use Only box on the SAR enables the FAA to tell the CPS when he or she has adjusted a SAR line item or when he or she has changed a student's dependency status. There are four common scenarios: 1 The FAA has the student correct a line item on the SAR. The FAA doesn't need to make any notation; the student must correct the SAR and mail it to the CPS. 2 The FAA makes a professional judgment adjustment to one of the line items on the SAR. He or she must check the box labeled "FAA EFC Adjustment" to let the CPS know that the change was an adjustment rather than a correction to a line item. 3 The FAA corrects a data element on the SAR and adjusts a different data element. An FAA should always report a combination of changes as an adjustment. He or she should check the box labeled "FAA EFC Adjustment." 4 The FAA uses the SAR to change a student's dependency status. He or she should check the appropriate dependency override box. [[This file contains the graphic of the "School Use Only Box" in Portable Document Format (PDF).
