Finding Details

Information on the Federal Program – Department of Education, Student Financial Assistance Cluster, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant Program, CFDA 84.007; Federal Work-Study Program, CFDA 84.033; Federal Pell Grant Program, CFDA 84.063; Federal Direct Student Loan Program, CFDA 84.268. Program Year – July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024 Criteria for Specific Requirement – Special Tests and Provisions – Return of Title IV Funds – Return of Title IV funds are required to be deposited or transferred into the SFA account or electronic fund transfers initiated to ED as soon as possible, but no later than 45 days after the date the institution determines that the student withdrew. Returns by check are late if the check is issued more than 45 days after the institution determined the student withdrew or the date on the canceled check shows the check was endorsed more than 60 days after the date the institution determined that the student withdrew (34 CFR 668.173(b)). Condition – Return of Title IV funds from the College was not initiated to ED within the required timeframe. Questioned Costs – None – nonmonetary finding Context – Out of a sample of 4 students from a population of 18 students who were required to have a Return of Title IV Funds calculation performed during the year, the College did not initiate the Return of Title IV funds to ED within the required timeframe for one student. Our sample was not, and was not intended to be, statistically valid. Cause – Return of Title IV funds was not initiated to ED timely. This could have been a result of limited communication between those with direct knowledge of student withdrawals and those responsible for calculating and initiating the Return of Title IV funds. Effect – Return of Title IV funds was ultimately returned to ED but was not initiated timely Identification as a Repeat Finding – N/A Recommendation – We recommend the College ensure there is consistent communication between those with direct knowledge of student withdrawals and those responsible for calculating and initiating the Return of Title IV funds. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions – The College has established a policy of governing the Return of Title IV funds for its students in prison. The policy better defines withdrawals for this unique student population, and institutes regular meetings at critical dates throughout the semester between the Director of the Moreau College prison initiative, the Registrar, Finance, the Office of Financial Aid, and the Vice President for Enrollment and Student Engagement to ensure student withdrawals from both the prison program as well as the residential campus are known and recorded, and the Return of Title IV funds process can be completed within the required timeframe. Additionally, the College continues to invest in its Office of Financial Aid through hiring of additional support and enrolling its senior administrators in the NASFAA Certified Financial Aid Administrator Program.
