2025-001: Improper Reporting of Enrollment Status’s to the National Student Clearinghouse - Year Ended Augst 31, 2025 - Student Financial Aid Cluster - ALN#s 84.007, 84.033, 84.063, and 84.268 Criteria: According to 34 CFR 685.309 (b), schools must update enrollment data for students and report to the Secretary in a manner of prescribed format within the required timeframe of sixty days after a student has graduated, ceased attendance or enrolled less than half-time Condition/Context: During our Enrollment Status Changes testing, we selected forty students for our sample. In our sample of forty we tested twenty graduated students to verify that they were reported within sixty days and we tested twenty current students to note that their student status is reported correctly. We noted that the University submitted one of the forty students we selected as full-time when they were enrolled as three-quarters time. We consider this finding to be an instance of noncompliance relating to the Special Tests and Provisions Compliance Requirement. Statistical sampling was not used in making sample selections. Effect: A student who was three-quarters for the Spring 2025 term was misreported as fulltime to the National Student Clearinghouse. Cause: While the University was reporting to the Clearinghouse, the system incorrectly categorized the student as full-time. Recommendation: We recommend the University continue to work with the department responsible for the enrollment status submissions to ensure that accurate reporting to the National Student Clearinghouse continues. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding and response is included in the Corrective Action Plan.
