Importing ACR and SISF Files

This section provides an overview of ACR and SISF files and discusses how to load ACR and SISF files.

The ACR and SISF files contain TFG and TFL information for individual students.

The ACR file requires a response from the HEI to the SLC. When the HEI responds, it confirms student data to the SLC, including attendance and course of study information. These files are sent to the HEI from the SLC starting in December of each academic year.

The SISF file is informational only and does not require a response from the HEI. It is sent to the HEI from the SLC in October and November of each academic year.

Use the Import ACR/SISF (SFA_SLC_RC_ACR) component to set up and run the batch import of ACR/SISF files.

The process looks at the value in the File Type field to identify the type of file that is being imported.

The Import ACR/SISF process:

  1. Loads the data into a system table.

  2. Attempts to match on SSN:

    • If a match exists, the record is loaded to the application table for use in the system.

    • If no SSN match exists, the process attempts to match using Search/Match criteria designated in Student Loans Company Setup component.

      If a match exists, the record is loaded to the application table for use in the system.
