Finding 513073 (2024-003)

Finding 2024-003 A plan has been developed to take corrective action regarding finding 2024-003 in our audit for the year ended June 30, 2024.

Finding 2024-003 A plan has been developed to take corrective action regarding finding 2024-003 in our audit for the year ended June 30, 2024. Condition: Return of Title IV funds calculations were incorrectly performed during the year. Cause: The Financial Aid department does not have adequate processes and controls around return of funds to ensure calculations are accurate and return of funds are timely. Effect: Refund calculations completed were not correct and funds were not remitted to the Department of Education properly. Corrective Action Plan (CAP) and Anticipated Completion Date: This is the result of dates being entered into multiple departmental screens and a mismatch occurred. With the recent reorganization of the Registrar and Student Financial Services now combined with Admissions into a new Enrollment Management unit, greater coordination and control is gained and will improve reporting. The Registrar and Director of Student Financial Aid will oversee these changes under the direction of the Executive Director for Enrollment Management. This will be completed asap during Fiscal Year 2025 but no later than June 30, 2025. Responsible Party for Implementing CAP: Executive Director for Enrollment Management
Finding 513072 (2024-002)

Finding 2024-002 A plan has been developed to take corrective action regarding finding 2024-002 in our audit for the year ended June 30, 2024. Condition: Out of 25 students tested, there were 16 students with Pell and Direct Loan attributes incorrectly reported to COD. Cause: The Financial Aid department does not have adequate processes and controls around return of funds to ensure reporting to COD is accurate. Effect: COD reporting was not properly completed for Direct Loan and Pell Grant recipients. Corrective Action Plan (CAP) and Anticipated Completion Date: The Colleague system uses the dates that are entered into parameter screens when the academic year is set up. Those dates from the setup screen are used in setting up the information per student to be sent to COD. It is likely that these preliminary dates were updated as they became more fixed. This would result in differences in individual record dates based on timing of data entry. With the gathering of offices under the Enrollment Management umbrella this fiscal year, greater coordination and control is gained and will control entry and maintenance of system dates. The Registrar will also look at creating a centralized change log for term dates for reference between the two staff areas. The Registrar and Director of Student Financial Aid will oversee these changes under the direction of the Executive Director of Enrollment Management. This will be completed asap during Fiscal Year 2025 but no later than June 30, 2025. Responsible Party for Implementing CAP: Executive Director of Enrollment Management

Finding 2024-001 A plan has been developed to take corrective action regarding finding 2024-001 in our audit for theyear ended June 30, 2024. Condition: Out of 40 students tested, there were 39 students with enrollment status changes during the year that were not communicated to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) or were incorrectly reported. Cause: The Registrar’s Office and the Enrollment Services Technical Coordinator do not have adequate processes and controls around enrollment reporting to ensure reporting is accurate and timely. Effect: NSLDS was not properly notified of student enrollment status changes of Direct Loan and Pell Grant recipients. Corrective Action Plan (CAP) and Anticipated Completion Date: The Registrar's Office reports student enrollment status to the National Student Clearinghouse according to the predetermined reporting schedule. As of this fiscal year, the financial aid and registrar offices have been placed under a new Enrollment Management umbrella that will allow and require careful coordination of term, enrollment, and financial aid issues. The Registrar's Office has created and made available a procedural guide for running and submitting reports to make sure program length and other data submitted is accurate and timely. The Registrar will oversee these changes under the direction of the Executive Director of Enrollment Management. This will be completed asap during Fiscal Year 2025 but no later than June 30, 2025. Responsible Party for Implementing CAP: Executive Director of Enrollment Management

Finding 2024-001, Significant Deficiency - Reporting In Fiscal Year 2023-24, the Transportation Department submitted reports for the RAISE grant to the NCDOT for four quarters without prior review from the Finance Department.

Finding No. 2024-004 Delay in Direct Loan Adjustment After Enrollment Cancellation Condition Found During our eligibility test, we identified a situation in which a student's enrollment was canceled after Pell and Direct Loan funds had already been credited to the student's account. Even though the Pell Grant adjustment and return to COD were completed promptly, the adjustment for the Direct Loan was only made after the auditor discovered that the loan had not been properly adjusted and returned to the Department of Education. Corrective Action Plan We will thoroughly explore system capabilities, and a targeted training session in the Ellucian software will be developed and scheduled to directly address the identified deficiency. All Student Financial Aid Officers will be required to complete this mandatory training. Additionally, comprehensive internal monitoring exercises will be conducted for all R2T4 events to ensure full compliance and process integrity.

Finding No. 2024-003 Late R2T4 reimbursement to ED Condition Found In testing compliance with the return of Title IV funds requirement, we noted three (3) cases, or eight percent (8%), of the sample selected, in which the University failed to return the total corresponding refund within 45 days from the date the University determined that the student withdrew, dropped-out, or failed to attend to the University. Corrective Action Plan The institution will enhance the total withdrawal process by assigning a dedicated financial aid officer to each campus, responsible for overseeing all funds. This officer will be solely accountable for determining whether a withdrawal is official or unofficial, executing the Return of Title IV (R2T4) process, and coordinating with the fiscal department to ensure timely completion of refunds. As a further safeguard, the Title IV Compliance Coordinator will rigorously monitor the effectiveness of this corrective action plan and ensure ongoing compliance.

Finding No. 2024-002 Late Refund Issuance Condition Found During our evaluation of compliance with these requirements, we noted one (1) instance, or six percent (6%) of the sample selected, in which the University failed to return the corresponding refund within 14 days’ time frame from the date the University determined that the student had a Federal Student Aid (FSA) credit balance. Forty-one (41) days passed between the date the University identified an FSA credit balance for the student and the actual refund to the student. Corrective Action Plan We will aggressively pursue systems automation alternatives to streamline operations and enforce interdepartmental collaboration to ensure strict compliance with deadlines. Additionally, we will deliver targeted cash management training, with a strong focus on rigorously reviewing and optimizing refund processing procedures.

Responsible Person: Michelle Floering, Superintendent Planned Completion Date (TBD or Date): January 1, 2025.

Finding 2024-005: Untimely Enrollment Status Reporting – It is recommended the Institution increase controls over enrollment reporting. Comments on Finding and Recommendation(s): After the transition to Campus Cafe had begun, it was determined that they did not have the capability of importing NSLDS enrollment reporting reports as our previous system had, so FA staff has been updating enrollment information manually. Actions Taken or Planned: HJC has initiated discussions with the Clearinghouse for NSLDS reporting purposes. As a recent ECAR is required to complete the contract, we are currently waiting on an updated EApp to be processed to complete the process.
