Finding Number: 2024-001: ARP Education Stabilization Fund – Wage Rate Requirements Planned Corrective Action: Summary of corrective action to be taken Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2024 Responsible Contact Person: Dave Massa, Treasurer As recommended, the School will perform existing controls and establish new controls to ensure that contractors and subcontractors are in compliance with all labor standards by conducting on-site inspections and collecting the required certified payroll documentation in a timely manner. Specifically, the School will add an Affidavit of Compliance Form to the contracts that will be required to be submitted by the grantee before closing. A project will not be considered closed until the School has received an executed copy of the form. Upon notification of construction commencement, the School will immediately begin monitoring for Wage Rate Requirements in the form of both on-site inspections and review and approval of certified payroll reports.

Reference Number: 2024-002 Finding: Other Instance of Noncompliance and Deficiency Status: In-progress Corrective Action: The University did not complete a Return to Title IV refund calculation within 45 days after a student had withdrawn from UST. The Assistant Director of Financial Aid runs a query once a month to find students who have received Title IV or state aid and have withdrawn. The student in question did not appear on the query when we believe they should have, but was on the subsequent report. We have changed our procedures to run the query and complete Return to Title IV calculations weekly, rather than monthly. We believe this will help us find any discrepancies more quickly. We also reviewed the query and made some edits to attempt to increase accuracy.

Reference Number: 2024-001 Finding: Other Instance of Noncompliance and Significant Deficiency Status: In-progress Corrective Action: Following our analysis, we have concluded that adjusting our data transmission schedule to NSC will help prevent future last minute data anomalies, ensuring that a final transmission for the term always occurs after the end date of each term. Additionally, we have identified a potential issue where NSC may fail to send graduate records to NSLDS for students who immediately re-enroll in the subsequent semester. Due to timing between the submission from NSC to NSLDS, the newer enrollment appears to be overriding the previously sent graduation record, preventing the graduation record from being sent to NSLDS. To address this, we will create a dedicated report to identify students in this situation and manually update NSLDS with the missed graduation data. Finally, there were isolated cases where a historical date adjustment was made to generate an auxiliary outcome (e.g., a grade change of Withdrawal instead of Withdrawal Failing), which made it appear as though a record change wasn't submitted in a timely manner. For these, we will discontinue this practice and employ an alternative method to derive the desired outcome (e.g., additional grade change transactions input after the withdrawal with no date adjustment).

Recommendation: We recommend the District re-evaluate their procedures for processing and documenting outstanding Title IV funds to the Department of Education. Action taken in response to finding: As this is a multi-year finding, the Financial Aid department and the Business Services department have been working closely this term to develop a coordinated approach to avoid the issue going forward. Our procedures have been changed drastically. Once a student appears on a timeout / stale-dated check report from the vendor responsible for delivering aid to our students, we are reversing the funds and processing that reversal through COD first, then reaching out to the student to see if they need to make arrangements for correcting their address. This was done in the opposite fashion in prior years, and while it reduced delays for students who could rectify things, it carried too much risk of being forgotten and the 240 day mark being surpassed. The financial aid department has committed to placing the reversals and processing them through COD within seven business days of receiving the notification from the vendor and/or Business Services. This is far stricter than the federal regulations, but a seemingly necessary step to ensure compliance. Additionally, the Business Services team is aware of the impossibility of delivering aid beyond 240 days of the original check issuance and is helping the financial aid team to understand issuance dates in situations where Title IV aids may be commingled with other financial aid across multiple disbursement attempts. This coordination will ensure the District’s compliance going forward.

Recommendation: We recommend that the District improve the existing procedures and controls to ensure compliance with the aforementioned criteria. Action taken in response to finding: As this finding has occurred in multiple years, it is one of the financial aid team’s top priorities. Return to Title IV calculations are complex operations—especially in the California Community College system where multiple Pell awards per term and high withdrawal rates are common—that require time and focus. This year’s batch of calculations were problematic due for several reasons: • Human error • Insufficient number of staff capable of reliably performing calculations • Failure to retain students who have received financial aid beyond the 60% mark of the term • A typographical error in the college’s end date for Fall 2023 required us to re-calculate all Return to Title IV calculations, making each of those calculations a technical violation of Title IV regulations since they were done outside the limited time window We have taken the following actions: • Increased the number of people in the department who are capable of performing calculations • Provided support for two staff members to obtain their NASFAA certification in Return to Title IV funds calculations • Requested out-of-class status to remunerate one of our student services assistants who obtained that certification so that they can be involved in these calculations going forward • Emphasized the importance of timely calculations in staff meetings and evaluations • Altered our procedures to include deliberate consideration of dates involved to better control the timeliness of both calculations and returning funds to the Title IV programs. • Added a step to the new aid year setup that verifies that the term start, and end dates entered in the Banner® system are correct.

Ford Direct Loan Program, ALN #84.268; Federal Pell Grant Program, ALN #84.063; Federal Supplemental Opportunity Grant Program, ALN #84.007; and TEACH Grant Program, ALN #84.379) Name of Contact Person The Director of Financial Aid, Christin Mustard, is responsible for the corrective action plan for this finding. Corrective Action Plan We agree with this finding. After review of this student’s Return to Title IV calculation, it was determined that upon beginning the calculation in the PowerFAIDS system, the Refresh button was not used which would have recalculated the completed days to include the 9-day Spring Break. After reviewing this procedure with PowerFAIDS, it was recommended that we also enter the withdrawal date on the R2T4 tab of the POE screen which forces the system to recalculate the completed days prior to beginning the R2T4 calculation. We have added this step to our Return to Title IV procedures. Anticipated Completion Date The corrected Return to Title IV calculation was completed, which resulted in an Unsubsidized loan return of $1,029. The loan funds were returned via the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system.

The school has implemented improved communication between registrar and financial aid to be sure these later graduations are reported.
