BSU will also implement a detailed due diligence review over the fees assessed by the third-party servicer of Title IV credit balances. Blueridge Community & Technical College (BRCTC) response We acknowledge that BRCTC did not have internal controls in place to review the contract with our third-party servicer of Title IV credit balances or obtain and review the third-party servicer’s Title IV compliance audit to ensure compliance with federal regulations. By February 2024, documents will be requested and an annual due diligence review will be performed and documented of the third-party servicer contract and compliance audit as well as review of fees assessed by the third-party servicer. Concord University (CU) response CU agrees with this finding and due to changes in personnel, this regulation was not followed. CU will review and document the review of the Cash Management Database annually to ensure the link is posted. CU will review and document the review of other financial institutions charges compared against BankMobile’s fees annually. CU will annually review the servicer’s SOC report. CU will review BankMobile’s report, specifically looking for instances of noncompliance and internal control breaches. This will be documented annually. Mountwest Community and Technical College (MCTC) response Effective February 2024, MCTC will implement a review process to be conducted on an annual or monthly basis, as applicable, of all accounts opened with the Servicer during the specified timeframe. The "Activation & Preferences Report" available to management through the Servicers Administrator portal will be used to provide the data for review by management. The review process will consist of the following: • A request made of the servicer to provide a report of accounts opened with date/time stamp of consent to opening. Frequency: Monthly • Review of "Activation & Preferences Report" validated against Servicer "Accounts Opened" report. Frequency: Monthly • Generate a follow-up email to applicable students confirming the opening of the Servicer Account which will include an attachment of the Servicer "Terms and Conditions" and "Fee Schedules". Frequency: Monthly • Review the Servicers' Client Contract and Profile site for accuracy and completeness of information. Frequency: Annually • Review the Servicers' System and Organization Controls (SOC) and Compliance audits. Frequency: Annually • Management will incorporate as part of its "Due Diligence and Attestation" copies of comparable banking institution fee schedules that are date/time stamped to serve as evidence of review. Shepherd University (SU) response By April 2024, SU will develop and maintain a checklist that will be periodically reviewed and signed off related to this finding, specifically: Annually, SU will be submitting the URL to the Department of Education related to the contracts between SU and BankMobile, reviewing compliance audits and SOC reports for BankMobile, recording areas of risk, and noting ways to mitigate the potential risk moving forward. West Virginia Northern Community College (WVNCC) response Beginning June 2024, during the annual review meeting between WVNCC and BankMobile (the servicer that delivers Title IV credit balances to students), WVNCC will obtain a copy of the BankMobile compliance audit. This will be kept on file within the Business Office for reference if needed. In addition, the budget committee will review annual the fees charged by BankMobile and attempt to compare them to other providers of similar services. West Virginia University at Parkersburg (WVU-P) response WVU-P has submitted a URL to the US Department of Education of our contract and cost information with our third-party servicer. This submission should correct this portion of the finding although it was done after the end of the fiscal year under audit but serves to correct the finding in subsequent periods. WVU-P will ensure compliance with the remaining items noted by creating a written internal control policy requiring the following: • Verification of the required submission of the third-party contract with the Department of Education. • Documentation of a due diligence review of the fees assessed by the third-party servicer. • Obtain a copy of the annual compliance examination of the Title IV Programs. The 2022 report dated June 29, 2023, was received and reviewed by us for compliance with eligibility, systems, and internal controls, disbursements, Return of Title IV funds, and administrative requirements. • Obtain a list of students whose refunds were disbursed by the third-party vendor and cross-reference it with a list of the students processed and sent to the third-party vendor by WVU-P. For those students who elected to open a checking account, WVU-P will review supporting documentation to indicate that the student gave proper consent. These policies and procedures will be effective February 2024.

Fairmont State University (FSU) response Effective February 2023, FSU has added a second level review control and it was put into place to address the inadequate internal controls identified. Mountwest Community and Technical College (MCTC) response Effective February 2024, MCTC will make the appropriate effort to obtain "inked" approvals prior to initiating drawdown requests through G5/G6 to serve as proof of double verification. However, MCTC does note that single reviews are completed prior to any drawdown request as evident of the relationship between the requestor and initiator of the drawdown in G5/G6 to ensure accuracy and completeness. West Virginia Northern Community College (WVNCC) response Beginning April 1st, 2024, WVNCC will establish an electronic repository specifically designated for the retention of evidence that a review and approval of all drawdown requests occur. The repository will be reviewed internally on a quarterly basis by the CFO and any anomalies will immediately be brought to the attention of staff and resolved.

February 28, 2024 Audit Response to Finding 2023-001 to Uniform Guidance Audit - Enrollment reporting to National Student Clearinghouse Analysis: During the spring 2023 graduate only submission to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), Robert Morris University (University) incorrectly queried the wrong student population of graduates from Banner (student information system) as a result of human error, which resulted in the untimely reporting of spring 2023 graduates to the NSC. There were also exceptions found attributable to off-cycle graduates who had degrees conferred but the University had not updated their status to “graduated” in the NSC in a timely manner. Upon further review, the University determined extenuating circumstances (i.e. completion of all paperwork, and assignments, incomplete grade(s) existed for these students’ and their graduation date fell outside of the normal graduation date of their peers for that semester cohort. Since the University only typically submits graduate only files to the NSC three times a year (Spring, Summer, and Fall), these students were not reported to the NSC in a timely manner. Based on the findings noted above - and in the prior year Uniform Guidance audit, Robert Morris University (University) voluntarily undertook an exercise to self-audit the accuracy of all clearinghouse data submissions dating back to the implementation of the Banner Student Information System (SIS) in Fall 2021. At the conclusion of the self-audit, 127 students were found to have records of enrollment at the University, but were excluded from clearinghouse submissions during the period (July 2021 - November 2023) under self-audit. The University determined the omissions to be a combination of several factors; including, initial limitations in reporting capabilities as result of the Banner SIS conversion in Fall 2021 and overall process regarding review and submission of clearinghouse data. Response: Graduate Reporting The spring 2023 graduate file submission error was identified internally by RMU in July 2023 and all spring 2023 graduates were reported to the NSC at that time - albeit untimely. The University deemed this to be an isolated incident. For the off-cycle graduate exceptions, the University is increasing the frequency of submissions to the NSC to include mid-term submissions in addition to the end of semester submissions as usual practice. By increasing the frequency of submissions, the University believes this will capture the off-cycle graduates in a timely manner. Expected completion prior to May 31, 2024. Lookback Analysis As of the date of this letter, RMU has corrected all but 15 of the 127 errors and is working directly with representatives from the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) and National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) to resolve the remaining 15 errors as soon as possible. Expected completion prior to May 31, 2024. As a result of the findings noted above, the University’s Office of Data and Analytics (UDA) independently reviews all NSC files/extractions (graduate only and monthly enrollment reporting) from Banner prior to submission to the NSC. A member of UDA cross references the NSC file’s/extractions with other Banner student enrollment information for that time period to make sure the file is complete and accurate. The Registrar only submits files to the NSC after approval by the UDA and reports submission results back to the UDA after they are processed by the NSC. Conclusion: The University deems that the correction action steps outlined above will sufficiently resolve the findings and prevent any future instances of untimely reporting of enrollment and graduate data to the NSC and the NSLDS.

Island Park UFSD Corrective Action Plan in Response to Single Audit Report For The Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2023 CURRENT YEAR FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Federal Award Findings And Questioned Costs Finding # 2023-001 U.S. Department of Education-Passed-through the NYS Education Department Finding: During our audit, we noted that certain figures used as inputs to the annual performance report could not be reconciled to supporting documentation and therefore, we were unable to substantiate certain amounts reported to NYSED. The review of the annual performance report was not performed at an appropriate level of precision such that the incorrect and/or incomplete information presented would be identified and corrected prior to submission to NYSED. Recommendation: We recommend that the District reevaluate the system of internal control for the review and approval of the annual performance report prior to submission to NYSED, including the reconciliation of amounts included within the support to appropriate supporting documentation. District Response: The District will ensure that, prior to submission to NYSED, the annual performance report will be reviewed by an individual other than the preparer and reconciled to the supporting documentation in order to confirm the completeness and accuracy of information reported. Mr. Salvatore Carambia, Business Administrator, is the person responsible for the planned corrective action. The completion date for this action is February 16th, 2024.

Finding 2023-003 Program: Federal Family Education Loans CFDA No.: 84.032 Federal Agency: Department of Education Award Year: Various Compliance Requirement: C – Cash Management University’s Response: The University has continued to ensure that these funds are not commingled and has protected them from being spent. Due to the discrepancies identified, it is necessary to review and compare each student's loan history between the University Information System, the lender rosters, and the National Student Loan Database System (NSLDS) records. This individual review and reconciliation process has proven to be tedious but necessary to identify funds that were never posted to student records, returned to lenders, or entered incorrectly in the three separate systems of record. Corrective Action Plan: With additional assistance, the University made further progress in identifying records with discrepancies. We reviewed the types of discrepancies identified with the DoE and, with their guidance, are detailing the individual student accounts to which funds need to be returned to correct the students' NSLDS loan records.
