Finding Details

Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program Title: Student Financial Assistance Cluster ALN Numbers: Various Award Period: July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 Type of Finding: • Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance • Other Matters Criteria or Specific Requirement: The Code of Federal Regulations, 34 CFR 685.309 requires that enrollment status changes for students be reported to NSLDS within 30 days or within 60 days if the student with the status change will be reported on a scheduled transmission within 60 days of the change in status. The school is required to report changes in the student’s enrollment status, the effective date of the status, and an anticipated completion date as well as program enrollment effective date. This data must match the institutions' records. Condition: During our testing, we noted 2 instances out of 40 students tested where the enrollment status on the campus level and program level was correctly reported to NSLDS as withdrawal in December 2024; however, both students graduated in March 2025 and that enrollment status was not updated at the campus level or the program level. Questioned Costs: None Context: During our testing, it was noted there were two students whose enrollment status change was not updated accurately or timely. Cause: The University did not appropriately update the student's enrollment status when they changed to a graduate. Effect: The University did not comply with Department of Education (ED) regulations by reporting student enrollment status changes accurately and timely. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend the University review its reporting procedures to ensure that students’ statuses are accurately and timely reported to NSLDS as required by regulations. Views of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
