New Features for 08-09 ISIR Analysis Tool
The 2008-2009 version of the ISIR Analysis Tool includes the following enhancements:Relabeled 2008-2009 ISIR Data Elements Added to the ISIR Analysis Tool Database. We relabeled two ISIR fields for 2008-2009 that are added to your ISIR Analysis Tool database as a result of an ISIR data request. The relabeled fields are:
Is Student Male or Female?" (previously "Are you male?")
Professional Judgment" (previously "FAA Adjustment")
New Expected Family Contribution (EFC) Impact Analysis Report Added. We have added a new standard report for 2008-2009 called the EFC Impact Analysis. This report, displayed in graph format, can assist you in determining which EFC-critical ISIR fields are being corrected most often by your students between Initial and Paid On ISIR transactions.
New Look and Feel for Standard and Ad-Hoc Reports. We upgraded the report component of the ISIR Analysis Tool (WebFocus). As a result, both the look and feel of the standard and ad-hoc reports differ from previous versions of the ISIR Analysis Tool. Contact your regional QA contact person if you have questions or require assistance with creating and running standard and/or ad-hoc reports.
The ISIR Analysis Tool is designed for any school that wants to review and analyze its ISIR data and better understand certain characteristics about its Title IV applicant population and verification process (either Federally selected or defined by the school).
Using the ISIR Analysis Tool does not mean that your school is in the Quality Assurance (QA) Program or exempt from federal verification requirements. To have these exemptions, you must have a signed QA Amendment to your Title IV Program Participation Agreement (PPA) as indicated in the 2008 Federal Register Notice.
FAA Access to CPS Online (after logging in you will find the ISIR Analysis Tool option near the bottom of the screen)
