Finding Details

National Student Loan Database System (NSLDS) Enrollment Reporting Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program Title: Student Financial Aid Cluster ALN Numbers: Multiple 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: The Code of Federal Regulations, 34 CFR 685.309 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. Regulations require the status include an accurate effective date. In addition, regulations require that an institution make necessary corrections and return the records within 10 days for any roster files that don’t pass the NSLDS enrollment reporting edits. Condition: During our testing of 40 students, we noted two students where the change in enrollment status was not reported within 60 days. Questioned costs: None Context: During our testing, it was noted the College does not have a process in place to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of NSLDS reporting. Cause: The College did not have a process in place to ensure the student who graduated or withdrew were reported timely and accurately. Effect: The College did not comply with Department of Education (ED) regulations by reporting student enrollment status changes timely and accurately. Repeat finding: Yes, 2024-002. Recommendation: We recommend the College reevaluate their procedures and review policies surrounding reporting status changes to NSLDS to ensure timely and accurate reporting. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
