Finding Details

Federal Assistance Listing Number 84.063 Federal Pell Program, Federal Assistance Listing Number 84.268 Federal Direct Loan Program; U.S. Department of Education Program Year 2021-2022 Criteria or Specific Requirement - Special Tests and Provisions - Enrollment Reporting Condition - Federal regulations provide that the College is responsible for notifying the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) of changes in enrollment, graduated or withdrawn students within 30 days or on an Enrollment Reporting roster file within 60 days. The College did not submit students change in enrollment status to NSLDS within 30 days or through the batch method within 60 days. Questioned Costs - None. Context - Out of a population of 3,676 students who received federal aid and had changes in enrollment, withdrew or graduated during the fiscal year, a sample of 50 students was tested, and 3 students change of status were not submitted to NSLDS within the required timeframe. Our sample was not intended to be statistically valid. Effect - The NSLDS was not provided with timely submission of status changes for students. Such submissions are required to allow for proper calculation of the students allowed grace and repayment period. Cause - 2 of the 3 exceptions were due to timely identification of withdrawal issues in the system when a student is removed from his or her major. The third exception was due to a clerical error when an hours change occurred. Identification as a Repeat Finding - N.A.
