Finding Details

Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program Name: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Assistance Listing Numbers: 84.063 and 84.268 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: See FAIN numbers included within the Context section below; all grants were awarded within the 2023-24 and 2024-25 award years. Award Period: July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025 Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and Other Matters Criteria The Code of Federal Regulations, consisting of 2 CFR 200.303, 34 CFR 685.309, and 34 CFR 690.83(b)(2), 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. Additionally, schools are required to certify enrollment at a minimum of every 60 days or every other month. Condition and Context During our testing of NSLDS Enrollment Reporting on the State System, we noted: 1) Status change received by NSLDS was outside of the 60-day time frame.• Cheyney University (P268K242131, P268K252131, P063P232131, and P063P242131): 1 of the 8 students tested for award year 2024-25 • Kutztown University (P268K242135, P268K252135, P063P232135, and P063P242135): 19 of the 27 students tested for award year 2024-25 2) Enrollment was not certified at a minimum of every 60 days or every other month. • Cheyney University (P268K242131, P268K252131, P063P232131 and P063P242131): 3 of the 8 students tested for award year 2024-25 Questioned costs: N/A Cause The Universities’ policies and procedures were not designed to ensure that student status changes were timely reported to NSLDS. Effect The NSLDS system is not updated with the student information which can cause over-awarding should the student transfer to another institution and the student may not properly enter the repayment period. Repeat Finding Cheyney University – Yes – Finding 2024-001 Kutztown University – Yes – Finding 2024-001 Recommendation The Universities should review their reporting procedures to ensure that students’ statuses are timely reported to NSLDS as required by Federal regulations. Views of Responsible Officials There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program Name: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Assistance Listing Number: 84.063 and 84.268 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: See FAIN numbers included within the Context section below; all grants were awarded within the 2023-24 and 2024-25 award years Award Period: July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025 Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and Other Matters Criteria The Department of Education requires the College to report the disbursement dates and amounts to the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system within 15 days of disbursing Pell (34 CFR 690.83(b)(2)) and Direct Loan (34 CFR 685.309) funds to a student. Condition and Context During our testing of Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system reporting on the State System, we noted: 1) Disbursements reported outside of the 15 day timeframe: • Kutztown University (P268K242135, P268K252135, P063P232135, and P063P242135): 1 of the 40 disbursements tested for award year 2024-25 Questioned Costs: N/A Cause The Universities’ policies and procedures were not designed to ensure that aid disbursement information was timely and accurately reported to COD Effect The error identified above related to Pell Grant disbursement reporting; however, if a similar error related to Direct Loan disbursement reporting occurred, it could result in skewed interest calculations as students’ interest accrues based on the disbursement date reported to COD. Repeat Finding No Recommendation The University should review their policies and procedures around COD reporting to ensure students’ information is reporting timely and accurately. Views of Responsible Officials There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
