Making ISIR Corrections on an Alien Registration Number

Purpose:  Use this document as a reference on how to make ISIR corrections on an Alien Registration Number.

Audience:  Financial Aid staff, Student Records Staff.

You will not be able to make a correction to the A Number directly in the ISIR in ctcLink--unless the Visa Permit Data page has first been populated on the Campus Community side.  Before the Visa Permit Data page is populated, the field will open for edit, but there will not be a A number you can plug into the Alien Registration Number (ARN) field in the Correct 20xx-20xx ISIR Records page.  You must work with your Student Records staff to update the Visa Permit Data page so that records in the ISIR (FA) and the Visa Permit Data page (Records and Enrollment) match/do not conflict.  Once your Student Records team makes the update to the Visa Permit Data page, the ISIR can then be corrected, and the A Number can be populated directly into that ARN field of the ctcLink ISIR.  Proceed with the steps below to review and make the necessary updates and correct the ISIR.

You must have at least one of these local college managed security roles:

  • ZZ FA ISIR Corrections

If you need assistance with the above security roles, please contact your local college supervisor or IT Admin to request role access.

Reviewing the ISIR Comments and A# on the ISIR (FA)

Navigation: Financial Aid > Federal Application Data > Correct 20xx-20xx ISIR Records 

  1. The Correct 20xx-20xx ISIR Records page displays, enter:
    • ID
    • Academic Institution
  2. Select the Search button.
  1. At the Assumptions\School Codes tab, scroll down to the Comments group box, and review the relevant ISIR comment related to the Citizenship C Code.
  1. In the Comments group box, note the relevant Citizenship C Code message.  In this example, the relevant C Code message is on the 046 Comment Code (highlighted), which confirms the student is not a US Citizen, Permanent Resident, or any other federal eligible citizenship status.
  1. Scroll back up to the top of the page, and select the Student Information tab.
  1. At the Student Information tab, in the ISIR Bio/Demo Data group box, note the Citizenship Status is Eligible non-Citizen and the Alien Registration Number has a value in that field (blurred out in the image).
  2. At the Actual Bio/Demo Data group box, note the Citizenship status is Resident and no Visa/Permit Number is noted. -- You will not be able to make the correction here on this ISIR page.  If your office holds a copy of the appropriate Citizenship document on file, you must work with your Student Records team on your campus to have them update the Visa Permit Data page in Campus Community.

Note - Since corrections made in FAA CPS will be rejected at the ISIR Load level in ctcLink, it is recommended you work with your Student Records staff to update the Visa/Permit Data page, and not make the correction in FAA CPS.  If you make the correction in FAA CPS, your ISIR correction will suspend and you will have to manually monitor the loading of that correction ISIR transaction.  

Process complete.
