2024-001: Late Return of Title IV Financial Aid - Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance
Listing #s 84.007, 84.033, 84.063, 84.268 - Grant Period - Year Ended June 30,
2024
Criteria: According to 34 CFR 668.22 when a recipient of Title IV grant or loan
assistance withdraws from a College during a payment period or period of enrollment
in which the recipient began attendance, the College must determine the amount of
Title IV grant or loan assistance that the student earned as of the student's withdrawal
date.
Condition: During our Return of Title IV Fund testing, we noted that the College did
not calculate or return Title IV Student Financial Aid for two out of twenty-five
students tested until after 45 days when the student ceased attendance. We consider the
untimely calculation and Return of Title IV Student Financial Aid to be an instance of
noncompliance relating to the Special Tests and Provisions Compliance Requirement. Statistical sampling was not used when making sample selections.
Questioned Costs: $0
Effect: The College did not calculate or return unearned Title IV Financial Aid to the
U.S. Department of Education within 45 days of when the student was determined to
cease their attendance at the College.
Cause: The College’s internal controls did not identify the fact that a corrected return
of Title IV amount occurred for two students within the required 45 days.
Recommendation: We recommend the College assign specific responsibilities to
review students return of Title IV calculation to verify the correct amount is calculated
and returned in a timely manner.
Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with this finding and response is
included in Corrective Action Plan.

to the Reporting Compliance Requirement. Statistical sampling was not used in making sample selections.
