Finding 2022-001: Significant Deficiency - Title IV Credit Balances Federal Program: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Pass-Through Entity: Not Applicable Assistance Listing Number (ALN): 84.268 and 84.379 Federal Award Number: P268K221780 and P379T221780 Federal Award Year: June 30, 2022 Criteria: Title IV regulations (34 CFR 668.164(h)(1) require that Title IV credit balances on student accounts be paid directly to the student as soon as possible but no later than 14 days after the balance occurred. A student or parent may authorize the Institution to hold the credit balance to be applied to specified other nontuition fees, room and board charges, up to $200 of prior year, or future charges as noted in the regulations at (34 CFR 668.165(b)). Condition/Context: For 4 of 25 students tested, the credit balance was not resolved in compliance with the regulations, the student?s Title IV credit balances on their accounts were held and applied to future charges without student or parent authorization. The first student?s Title IV credit balance was $759 of Direct Loan funds, the second student?s was $3,702 of Direct Loan funds, the third student?s was $390 of Direct Loan funds and the fourth student?s was $2,850 of Direct Loan funds and $943 of Teach Grant funds. The sample was not a statistically valid sample. Cause: The University?s controls surrounding Title IV credit balances being paid timely or being held only when authorized by the student/parent did not detect or appropriately handle the Title IV credit balances. Effect: Title IV credit balances were held without student/parent authorization and applied to future charges. Questioned Costs: Total questioned costs were $7,701 of Direct Student Loan funds ALN 84.268 and $943 of Teach Grant funds ALN 84.379. Recommendation: The University should revise its procedures to ensure Title IV credit balances are paid timely or student/parent authorizations to hold funds are obtained. Management?s Response: The University agrees with the finding. The occurrence of Title IV credit balances occurs primarily with graduate program students. A review is being conducted of current internal control processes and evaluating what additional reporting is capable within the student information system to assist in identifying these Title IV credit balances in a more timely manner. Title IV credit balances are being monitored during the Spring 2023 terms and new procedures will be put in place for the Fall 2024 term.

Unless it expects to submit its next updated enrollment report to the Secretary within the next 60 days, an institution must notify the Secretary within 30 days after the date the institution discovers that: (i) a loan under Title IV of the Act was made to or on behalf of a student who was enrolled or accepted for enrollment at the institution, and the student has ceased to be enrolled on at least a half-time basis or failed to enroll on at least a half-time basis for the period for which the loan was intended; or (ii) a student who is enrolled at the institution and who received a loan under Title IV of the Act has changed his or her permanent address. Condition/Context: For 6 of 25 students tested, the status or status effective date was reported incorrectly or the student was not reported to NSLDS. ? Two students' withdrawn dates reported to NSLDS did not agree to the support provided from the University's system. Additionally, one of these student's enrollment status was reported incorrectly as full time not 3/4 time. The University subsequently corrected these students? records in NSLDS and the auditor viewed the screen prints with the corrections. ? One student's graduated date reported to NSLDS did not agree to the support provided from the University's system, however the University believes the date reported to NSLDS was correct and the system's date was incorrect. ? One student's full time status effective date was reported incorrectly as January 10, 2022 not August 30, 2021. The University subsequently corrected the student?s record in NSLDS and the auditor viewed the screen print with the corrections. ? One student was incorrectly not reported to NSLDS when they attended and had Title IV loans during 2021-22. The University subsequently corrected the student?s record in NSLDS and the auditor viewed the screen prints with the corrections. ? One student's status date reported to NSLDS for campus level of January 10, 2022 did not agree to the support provided by the University's system of April 4, 2022. The University subsequently corrected the student?s record in NSLDS and the auditor viewed the screen print with the corrections. The sample was not a statistically valid sample. Cause: The University?s controls surrounding NSLDS enrollment reporting did not detect or appropriately handle errors and omissions in the reporting. Effect: Incorrect information was reported to NSLDS and a student was also omitted from reporting. Questioned Costs: Not applicable. Recommendation: The University should revise its procedures to ensure NSLDS enrollment reporting is completed accurately and timely for all status changes and all students. Management?s Response: The University has made all corrections to the identified records. The University is reviewing its current processes and evaluating if additional review controls need to be put in place to ensure timely and accurate NSLDS data.

The reports are to be posted on the institution?s website within 10 days of the calendar quarter end. Additionally, institutions are required to prepare an annual report and submit to the Department summarizing the uses of the HEERF funds for the calendar year. Condition/Context: The quarterly and annual reporting contained some information that did not agree to support provided, and some of the quarterly reports were posted to the University?s website late. The University?s student portion quarterly reports June 30, 2021 and March 30, 2022 were selected for testing: ? Both reports included the number of students eligible for emergency student grants and the University was not able to provide support for as the counts were estimated. ?
