Program Year – May 1, 2024 – April 30, 2025
Criteria or Specific Requirement – Special Tests and Provisions –
Enrollment Reporting – Under the Pell grant and loan programs,
colleges must complete and return within 30 days the Enrollment
Reporting roster file. Once received, the institution must update for
changes in student status, report the date the enrollment status was
effective, enter the new anticipated completion date and submit the
changes electronically through the batch method or the NSLDS web
site. Institutions are responsible for timely reporting, whether they
report directly or via a third-party servicer. Unless the school
expects to complete its next roster within 60 days, the University
must notify the lender or the guaranty agency within 30 days, if it
discovers that a student who received a loan either did not enroll or
ceased to be enrolled on at least a half-time basis. (Pell, 34 CFR
Section 690.83(b)(2); Direct Loan, 34 CFR Section 685.309(2)(i)).
Condition – Notification of the student status change (graduated,
withdrew, less than half-time) did not reach the NSLDS within the
required timeframe.
Questioned Costs – None – nonmonetary finding
Context – Out of a sample of 19 students from a population of 182
students who had changes in status during the year, NSLDS was
not provided timely notification for five of the student status
changes reviewed. Our sample was not, and was not intended to
be, statistically valid.
Cause – Information between the University and NSLDS was not
updated timely. This could have been a result of the remittance
schedule between the Clearinghouse and NSLDS not being
properly established to allow for timely remittance.
Effect – The status change was ultimately reported correctly to NSLDS
but was not performed timely.
Identification as a Repeat Finding – N/A
Recommendation – We recommend the University ensure the
remittance schedule is properly established to allow for timely
remittance.

Criteria or Specific Requirement – Special Tests and Provisions –
Return of Title IV Funds – When a recipient of Title IV grant or loan
assistance withdraws from an institution during a payment period or
period of enrollment in which the recipient began attendance, the
institution must determine the amount of Title IV aid earned by the
student as of the student’s withdrawal date. If the total amount of
Title IV assistance earned by the student is less than the amount
that was disbursed to the student or on his or her behalf as of the
date of the institution’s determination that the student withdrew, the
difference must be returned to the Title IV programs as outlined in
this section as soon as possible but no later than 45 days after the
date of the institution’s determination that the student withdrew (34
CFR Sections 668.22(a)(1)-(3)).
Condition – The return of unearned Title IV aid did not occur within the
required timeframe.
Questioned Costs – None – nonmonetary finding
Context – Out of a sample of four students from a population of 38
students who withdrew during the year, unearned Title IV aid was
not returned timely for two of the student calculations reviewed. Our
sample was not, and was not intended to be, statistically valid.
Cause – Student withdrawal information between the University and
the student was not completed under the University’s standard
process, which resulted in delays in the exit process and the
return calculation performed.
Effect – The unearned Title IV aid was ultimately calculated and
returned correctly to the Department of Education, but return was
not performed timely.
Identification as a Repeat Finding – N/A
Recommendation – We recommend the University ensure the process
to return Title IV aid is properly followed to allow for the timely return
of unearned Title IV aid.
