Finding Details

Finding 2025-001 - Student Financial Aid Cluster, CFDA# 84.007, 84.033, 84.063, 84.268 Compliance Requirement: Special Tests and Provisions – NSLDS Reporting Criteria: The College is required to send changes in attendance levels of students, including students who, graduated, withdrew, dropped out, or enrolled, to the National Student Loan Data System (“NSLDS”) within 60 days of the change. Condition: For some of the students included in our sample, the College did not send changes in attendance levels of students, including students who graduated, withdrew, dropped out, or enrolled, to the NSLDS within 60 days of the change. Cause: The College did not report changes in the status of its May 2025 graduates until its Fall 2025 reporting resulting in their status change reporting being greater than 60 days after the status change date. Effect: The College did not report status changes to the NSLDS timely Questioned Costs: None Context: Of the 25 students tested, 11 of them were May 2025 graduates whose NSLDS status changes were reported more than 60 days after the status change date. Recommendation: The College should review the planned submission dates on its NSLDS submission calendar to ensure the scheduled submission dates occur after academic dates that result in status changes of students. Views of Responsible Officials: See attached management’s corrective action plan.
