ISIR Processing of April 24/25 ISIR Comment Code Updates
On April 11, 2024, the Department of Education updated the Volume 7 Comment Code guide with a number of updates that impact Student Financial Aid. These updates are needed to ensure we are communicating the correct comment code descriptions and manage some comment codes that were added or no longer exist.
- Comment Code 001 has been deleted for 24/25
- Comment Code 184 changed "o" to "or" in description due to a spelling error
- Comment Codes 305-324 were updated with new descriptions
- Comment Code 328 is a newly added code that requires resolution
Allows for automated processing of 24/25 ISIRs within Student Financial Aid accounting for the Department of Education's April comment code updates.

Tips And Considerations
- Until this feature is delivered to production any students that receive a 24/25 ISIR with comment code 328 should be monitored as that comment code will auto clear with current logic.
- If you are using comment code 001 for any other processing in Student Financial Aid, you should make adjustments to ensure you are no longer doing so as 24/25 ISIRs will not have this comment code.
