Cost of Attendance Input Error. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. There was an input error in the summer transportation component of the cost of attendance calculation. Instead of the on-campus students being designated with their own rate ($405), it was instead set to "All students 2023-2024." As a result of this condition, eight students received more aid than they were eligible to receive, resulting in loan adjustments of $2,858. It is our understanding that on September 23, 2024, the College updated and sent the changes to the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the College implement a review process to ensure the inputs used in the cost of attendance determination are accurate and that the COA calculation is being reviewed by an independent second individual. Corrective Action. Upon discovery of the cost of attendance input error, the College went back through all summer non-on-campus students to determine if their aid was greater than it should have been and made updates to the COD system, as necessary. Responsible Person. Ruth Carlson, Director of Financial Aid. Anticipated Completion Date. September 23, 2024.
