Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the “Schedule”) includes federal award activity of the University 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 University, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the University.
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 for all awards. Under these principles, certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts shown on the Schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years.
The University has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
The federal student loan programs listed subsequently are administered directly by the University, and balances and transactions relating to these programs are included in the University’s basic financial statements. Loans outstanding at the beginning of the year and loans made during the year are included in the federal expenditures presented in the Schedule. The balance of loans outstanding at June 30, 2024 consists of: Assistance Outstanding Balance at Listing Number Program Name June 30, 2025 84.038 Federal Perkins Loans $0
The Institution is in compliance with the following institutional and program eligibility requirements under the Higher Education Act of 1965 and Federal regulations under 34 CFR 668.23: • Correspondence courses the institution offers under 34 CFR 600.7(b) and (g) • Regular students that enroll in correspondence courses under 34 CFR 600.7(b) and (g) • Institution’s regular students that are incarcerated under 34 CFR 600.7(c) and (g) • Completion rates for confined or incarcerated individuals enrolled in non-degree programs at nonprofit institutions under 34 CFR 600.7(c)(3)(ii) and (g) • Institution’s regular students that lack a high school diploma or its equivalent under 34 CFR 600.7(d) and (g) • Completion rates for short-term programs under 34 CFR 668.8(f) and (g) • Placement rates for short-term programs under 34 CFR 668.8(e)(2)

Finding Details

Federal Agency: US Department of Education Federal Program Title: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Assistance Listing Number: 84.268 Federal Award Identification Number: P268K250099 - 2025 Award Period: July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 Type of Finding: • Compliance, Other Matter • Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Criteria or specific requirement: 34 CFR 682.604, states that a school must ensure that exit counseling is conducted with each Stafford Loan borrower and graduate or professional student PLUS Loan borrower either in person, by audiovisual presentation, or by interactive electronic means. In each case, the school must ensure that this counseling is conducted shortly before the student borrower ceases at least half-time study at the school. Per 2 CFR 200.303, nonfederal entities receiving federal awards are required to establish and maintain internal controls designed to reasonably ensure compliance with federal laws, regulations, and program compliance requirements. Condition: The University did not properly have documentation for exit counseling notification. Context: During our testing of 40 students, we identified 1 student that did not have documentation of exit counseling notification. Questioned costs: None Cause: The University did not have proper procedures in place to ensure that notification of required exit counseling was sent to applicable students. Effect: Exit counseling helps federal student loan borrowers understand how to repay their loans and reviews deferment and repayment plans options. If students are not notified of exit counseling, they could be at risk of not understanding their rights and responsibilities regarding loan repayment. Repeat finding: No Recommendation: We recommend the University review reporting processes to ensure all students that require exit counseling receive it in a timely manner. Views of responsible officials: Management agrees with the finding and has developed a plan to correct the finding.
Federal Agency: US Department of Education Federal Program Title: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Assistance Listing Number: 84.033, 84.268, 84.063, 84.007 Federal Award Identification Number: P033A241086 - 2025, P268K250099 - 2025, P063P240099 - 2025, P007A241086 - 2025 Award Period: July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 Type of Finding: • Compliance, Other Matter • Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Criteria or specific requirement: The Code of Federal Regulations, 34 CFR 682.610, states that institutions must report accurately the enrollment status of all students regardless of if they receive aid from the institution or not. Changes to said status are required to be reported within 30 days of becoming aware of the status change, or with the next scheduled transmission of statuses if the scheduled transmission is within 60 days. Per 2 CFR 200.303, nonfederal entities receiving federal awards are required to establish and maintain internal controls designed to reasonably ensure compliance with federal laws, regulations, and program compliance requirements. Condition: The University did not properly report student enrollment changes for students who received federal student aid to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). Context: During our testing of 40 students, we identified 1 student with an effective date reported to NSLDS that did not align with institutional records and 1 student that was reported after the 60 day requirement. Questioned costs: None. Cause: The University did not have proper procedures in place to verify students' status in NSLDS matched the institutions records accurately and reported timely. Effect: The University was not in compliance with the requirements to properly report student enrollment data correctly. Incorrect dates submitted to NSLDS may be used to determine the grace period for the repayment and interest of outstanding Title IV student loans. Repeat finding: Yes Recommendation: We recommend the University review current processes for reporting to NSLDS and implement procedures to ensure submissions are reported accurately and timely. Views of responsible officials: Management agrees with the finding and has developed a plan to correct the finding.
Federal Agency: US Department of Education Federal Program Title: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Assistance Listing Number: 84.033 Federal Award Identification Number: P033A241086 - 2025 Award Period: July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 Type of Finding: • Compliance, Other Matter • Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Criteria or specific requirement: The Code of Federal Regulations, 34 CFR 675.18(g) require institutions to use at least seven percent of the sum of its initial and supplemental Federal Work Study allocation for an award year to compensate students employed in community service activities unless a waiver is obtained from the Department of Education. Per 2 CFR 200.303, nonfederal entities receiving federal awards are required to establish and maintain internal controls designed to reasonably ensure compliance with federal laws, regulations, and program compliance requirements. Condition: The University did not meet the community service requirement for its Federal Work Study program and was unable to obtain a waiver from the Department of Education releasing it from the requirement. Context: The University did not use at least 7% of its Federal Work Study (FWS) funds for students employed in community service activities. Questioned costs: None. Cause: The University did not meet the community service expenditure requirement due to decreased participation by off‑campus agencies. Effect: If the University fails to meet any of the FWS community service requirements, then they will be required to return FWS federal funds in an amount equal to the difference between the amount a school should have spent for community service and the amount it actually spent. The University could also be denied future participation in the FWS Program and possibly other FWS programs. Repeat finding: No Recommendation: We recommend the University review current processes for calculating and tracking the students employed in community service activities for its Federal Work Study funds to meet the minimum 7% requirement. Views of responsible officials: Management agrees with the finding and has developed a plan to correct the finding.
