Notes to SEFA

Federal awards to provide financial assistance to students are combined and considered to be a single program (Student Financial Aid Program Cluster) for major federal program determination. The amount of loans made during the year under federal government student loan programs are considered as disbursements for major program determination. The amounts included in the Schedules represent loans disbursed during the year, plus the related administrative charge. The Student Financial Aid Program Cluster represents the combination of awards by the U.S. Department of Education to provide financial assistance to students under the following programs: • Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants • Federal Work-Study Program • Federal Perkins Loan Program • Federal Pell Grant Program • Federal Direct Student Loans • Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education Grants • Unsubsidized Stafford Loans • Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students The University receives awards to make loans to eligible students under certain federal government student loan programs and federally guaranteed loans are issued to the students of the University by the Secretary of Education. These loans are considered for purposes of determining whether student financial assistance is a major program under the Uniform Guidance. The Federal Perkins Loan Program is administered by the University and its service organization. In addition, the Student Financial Aid Program Cluster includes the following federal government student loan programs that are administered by the Secretary of Education: • Subsidized Stafford Loans
Loans made by the University to eligible students under the Federal Perkins Loan Program and federally guaranteed loans made by the Secretary of Education to students of the University during the year ended June 30, 2025 are summarized as follows: The University is responsible only for the performance of certain administrative duties with respect to the federally guaranteed student loan programs, and, accordingly, these loans are not included in its financial statements and it is not practical to determine the balance of loans outstanding to students and former students of Marian University, Inc. under these programs at June 30, 2025.
The University 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 University offers under 34 CFR 600.7(b) and (g) • Regular students that enroll in correspondence courses under 34 CFR 600.7(b) and (g) • University’s regular students that are incarcerated under 34 CFR 600.7(c) and (g) • Completion rates for confined or incarcerated individuals enrolled in nondegree programs at nonprofit institutions under 34 CFR 600(c)(3)(ii) and (g) • University’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: U.S. Department of Education Federal Program Name: Student Financial Aid Cluster Assistance Listing Number: 84.063 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: P063P242439 – 2025 Award Period: July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 Type of Finding: • Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance • Other Matters Criteria or specific requirement: An institution must determine and document a student’s enrollment intensity prior to packaging and disbursing any Federal Pell Grant funds. Enrollment intensity must reflect the actual credit hours in which the student is enrolled at the time of the Federal Pell Grant calculation. Condition: The University failed to accurately input the number of credits factored into enrollment intensity for award packaging of the Federal Pell Grant. Questioned costs: Questioned costs of approximately $3,697 were identified when the award package for the identified students was recalculated using the appropriate enrollment intensity. Context: From a statistically valid sample of 40 students, one student was awarded Federal Pell Grant funds based on a course load greater than their enrollment intensity. Cause: The University's internal controls failed to detect that the enrollment intensity for a student did not agree to their course load. Effect: There is a risk that students have the incorrect enrollment intensity for the Federal Pell Grant, which can result in improper financial aid amounts being awarded. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that the University verifies the enrollment intensity for each student receiving the Federal Pell Grant prior to finalizing their award package. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
