Finding Details

Finding: 2022-001 ? Special Tests and Provisions ? Return of Title IV Funds Information of Federal Program: Student Financial Aid Cluster Federal Pell Grant Program ? CFDA No. 84.063 Federal Direct Student Loans ? CFDA No. 84.268 Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant ? CFDA No. 84.007 Federal Work-Study Program ? CFDA No. 84.033 Criteria: 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 grant or loan assistance that the student earned as of the student?s withdrawal date (34 CFR section 668.22) and any unearned funds must be returned within forty-five (45) days of the date the institution determined the student withdrawn. Condition: The date of the institution?s determination of a student?s withdrawal is the date the student began the official withdrawal process or the date of the student?s notification, whichever is later. During our testing of the withdrawn students, it was noted that Labette Community College did not use the correct determination date when calculating the return of Title IV funds. Cause of Condition: As a result of staff turnover, financial aid staff did not have a clear understanding of the determination date and the effect on the return of Title IV funds. Effect of Condition: The date used to calculate the time frame to return the Title IV funds was inaccurate, which could result in the institution not returning Federal funds in the required time frame as required by Title IV regulations. Questioned Costs: None Context: During the testing of the return of Title IV funds, it was noted that on four (4) of nine (9) tested had the incorrect date used as the institution?s date of determination. While none of the return of unearned Title IV funds were late in our testing selection, without a clear understanding of the requirements, the College could inadvertently have been late on others in the past and future. Repeat Finding: NoRecommendation: Policies and procedures should be written and additional training should be understanding of the institution?s date of determination of a student?s withdrawal. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: Management is in agreement and will implement a Corrective Action Plan, see page 52 of the current year audit.
