Regulations require the status include an accurate effective date. Condition: We noted, during our testing, that 6 out of 40 students tested whose enrollment status was not timely reported for unofficial withdrawals. Questioned Costs: None Context: CLA noted that the withdrawals were determined by the University after the final date of the semester and current procedures wait until the following semester to determine if the student returns before updating the status in NSLDS which can be after the 30 or 60 day requirement. Cause: The University?s processes and controls did not ensure that student status changes were timely reported to NSLDS. Effect: The NSLDS system is not updated with the student information which can cause overawarding should the student transfer to another institution and the students may not properly enter the repayment period. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend the University review its reporting procedures to ensure that students? statuses are accurately and timely reported to NSLDS as required by regulations. Views of responsible officials: Management agrees with finding.
