Notes to SEFA
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Highland Community College (the College) under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2025. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the College, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the College.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. The College has not elected to use the de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
Guaranteed student loans, including subsidized and unsubsidized direct student loans, are presented on the basis of the amount of loans awarded and are made by the Secretary of Education rather than by the College. Due to this program being a transaction between the student and the loan origination center, these loans are not recorded in the College’s financial statements. Due to the College’s responsibility for determining eligibility and administering the loans, they have been included in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards.
