Support of ED June ISIR Code Updates for 2026-27 and Future

Oracle Student Financial Aid updates ISIR comment and reject-code processing to align with the June 2026 Federal Student Aid specifications for the 2026–27 award year and future.

  • Comment codes 040, 076, 096, 127, and 352 are no longer treated as FPS C Flag comments.
  • New comment codes 361 through 364 are mapped to reject codes 77 through 80 and remain in a resolution-required status.

In addition to the comment and reject code updates, the existing NSLDS Loan Contact Type 1–6 fields now support DLS — Direct Loan Servicing to align with Department of Education's updates made on September 17th.

Business Benefit: This helps financial aid administrators process ISIRs using current federal specifications, reducing manual interpretation and supporting timely resolution of affected records.

Here's the demo of these capabilities:
