Title: Loan/loan guarantee outstanding balances Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (Schedule) includes federal award activity of Cedar Crest College (College) under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2022. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the College, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of the College. Expenditures reported in the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or limited as to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The College has elected not to use the 10 percent de minimus indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The Federal Perkins and Nursing Student Loan Programs are administered directly by the College, and balances and transactions relating to these programs are included in the College's basic financial statements. Loans outstanding at the beginning of the year and loans made during the year are included in the federal expenditures presented in the Schedule. Federal Perkins Loans outstanding and Nursing Student Loans outstanding at June 30, 2022 totaled $305,839 and $527,789, respectively.

Finding 2022-001 - Enrollment Reporting Federal Program - Student Financial Assistance Cluster Federal Agency - U.S. Department of Education Pass-Through Entity - Not Applicable ALN - 84.007, 84.033, 84.038, 84.063, 84.268 Federal Award Year - June 30, 2022 Criteria: Title IV regulations (34 CFR 685.309(b)) require that upon receipt of an enrollment report from the Secretary, institutions must update all information included in the report and return the report to the Secretary: (i) in the manner and format prescribed by the Secretary; and (ii) within the timeframe prescribed by the Secretary. Unless it expects to submit its next updated enrollment report to the Secretary within the next 60 days, an institution must notify the Secretary within 30 days after the date the institution discovers that: (i) a loan under Title IV of the Act was made to or on behalf of a student who was enrolled or accepted for enrollment at the institution, and the student has ceased to be enrolled on at least a half-time basis or failed to enroll on at least a half-time basis for the period for which the loan was intended; or (ii) a student who is enrolled at the institution and who received a loan under Title IV of the Act has changed his or her permanent address. Condition/Context: The change in student status for 6 of 25 students tested was not reported to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) within 30 days or included in a response to a roster file within 60 days. A statistical sample was not used. Cause: The institution failed to follow its procedures for reporting student status changes. Effect: The accuracy of Title IV student loan records depends heavily on the accuracy of the enrollment information reported by institutions. If an institution does not review, update, and verify student enrollment statuses, effective dates of the enrollment status, and the anticipated completion dates, then the Title IV student loan records will be inaccurate in NSLDS. Questioned Costs: None. Recommendation: The institution should review its policy on enrollment reporting to NSLDS to ensure that all enrollment status changes are updated accurately and reported within the required timeframe.
