Notes to SEFA
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the "Schedule") summarizes the expenditures of the University of Notre Dame du Lac (the "University") under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2025. The information presented in the Schedule is presented on the accrual basis of accounting, which is in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget (“OMB”) 2 CFR Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. Because the Schedule presents only the federal award activity of the University, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, functional expenses or cash flows of the University. The University applies its predetermined approved facilities and administrative rate when charging indirect costs to federal awards rather than a de minimis cost rate as described in Section 200.414 of the Uniform Guidance. For purposes of the Schedule, federal awards include all grants, contracts and similar agreements entered into directly between the University and agencies and departments of the federal government and all sub-awards to the University by non-federal organizations pursuant to federal grants, contracts and similar agreements. For purposes of the Schedule, agencies that provided less than $300,000 of federal awards expended by the University for research and development are included in the Research & Development cluster under the heading "Research & Development Programs from Other Federal Agencies.” These agencies include: the Department of the Interior, the Department of Transportation, and the Environmental Protection Agency. Negative numbers in the Schedule represent adjustments to amounts reported in prior years in the normal course of business.
CAMPUS BASED LOAN PROGRAM - The Federal Perkins Loan Program is administered directly by the University and balances and transactions relating to this program are included in the University's consolidated financial statements.

For the year ended June 30, 2025, there was no administrative cost allowance recovered from the Perkins Loan Program.
