We acknowledge that the timing of these actions did not fully align with the requirements of Uniform Guidance, which specifies that subaward information must be communicated with the subrecipients in writing at the time the subaward is made. However, the Organization worked diligently to address the issue once identified. To prevent recurrence of this issue, the Organization has taken corrective actions. As soon as we were made aware of the status of the recipients of the awards as subrecipients, we informed them of their status orally and outlined the general terms and compliance requirements associated with their subaward. We formalized this notification process by providing written agreements detailing the subaward terms, as required, in June 2024. These agreements were subsequently signed and returned by the subrecipients in July 2024. To avoid similar compliance challenges, the Organization worked with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to revise its agreement. Effective September 30, 2024, the Organization no longer serves as a pass-through entity and does not pass federal funds through to subrecipients. For the remaining period during which the Organization acted as a pass-through entity, we implemented procedures to ensure timely and accurate communication of subaward information in writing, aligning with Uniform Guidance requirements. Management believes these actions fully address the cause of the finding and ensure compliance with federal regulations in the future.

Corrective actions: The Financial Aid Office has historically received a copy of the Fund 10 and Fund 13 ledgers from the Business Office and then calculated the tuition and fees, making sure to remove the concurrently enrolled students and inapplicable fees. This calculation was completed without knowledge that some of the Fund 13 Fees pass through and are already included the Fund 10 details. This resulted in a number of Fund 13 Fees being counted twice. This process has been corrected starting with the 24-25 FISAP. The CFO and Financial Aid Director worked together and the CFO calculated the tuition and fees for Part II Section E of the FISAP. This ensured the correct calculation and eliminated the inclusion of fees that were flowing through the two different GL fund accounts.

Corrective actions: Eastern Wyoming College currently has a service arrangement with National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to provide enrollment reporting to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) per the requirements outlined in CFR 690.83 (b)(2), 685.309(b), and per the NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Guide. These regulations require institutions to report changes in enrollment within a 60-day period. In fulfilling these requirements, EWC's Data Analyst utilizes reports in Colleague to complete the enrollment reporting requirements and submit these reports to NSC. This occurs every thirty days, which exceeding meets the 60-day requirement. EWC's Office of Institutional Research, through the Data Analyst, works with the Registrar and the Financial Aid Office to review and resolve any reporting errors with NSC. Historically, this process worked with minimal errors, but the HCM2 processes posed some unforeseen challenges in the reporting process. To meet these challenges, the Data Analyst sends the student rosters to the NSC. If the students on the SSCR roster are not part of the NSLDS database as a current borrower or recipient of federal student aid, then the Data Analyst must manually upload the information to the NSLDS instead of relying on NSC to initiate the reporting. The Student Financial Aid and Registrar Offices have implemented controls to ensure the proper and timely reporting of student status changes. Upon the implementation of an effective reporting control process, EWC will directly review the student status changes at the NSLDS rather than rely solely on its third-party service provider. For instances where students program length was not reporting correctly, this was resolved at the end of 2022-2023 award year, and the Financial Aid office updated all the Colleague screens used to pull the reports utilized by Institutional Research in submitting the report. EWC has developed and distributed Standard Operating Procedures to ensure the withdrawal dates reported in each office are using the same information.

Condition: The College did not send out the post-disbursement email notifications to a group of students. Planned Corrective Action: While the College has documented procedures in place for the disbursement of federal funds and required post-disbursement notifications to students, the College did not properly send a post-disbursement notification to 591 out of 659 students who received federal financial aid loans in Fall 2023. The College will adjust its internal processes to ensure all students who receive federal loans are sent post-disbursement email notifications by performing a weekly review of the report that generates a names list of students that are receiving federal loans. If names exist on the report, a verification in the student record will be conducted to be sure the email was sent. After further investigation, all 608 students that received federal loans in spring semester 2024 and all 56 students in summer of 2024 received a post-disbursement notification.

Finding 2024-002 Federal Agency Name: Department of Education Assistance Listing Number: #84.268 Program Name: Federal Direct Student Loans Finding Summary: 1 of the 60 students selected for testing the reporting of student status changes were reported with the incorrect enrollment status based on NSLDS Enrollment Reporting guidance. 3 of the 60 students selected for testing the reporting of student status changes were reported to NSLDS with incorrect program begin dates based on NSLDS Enrollment Reporting guidance. 1 of the 60 students selected for testing the reporting of student status changes were reported to NSLDS with an incorrect status effective date based on NSLDS Enrollment Reporting guidance. Corrective Action Plan: LATC currently runs a SQL database script against the enrollment file before sending it to NSC. This script checks for missing and erroneous data (race/ethnicity, nondegree seeking majors, anticipated grad dates, etc.) in the file and updates it to correct values. The Director of Enrollment will work with the Database Administrator to regularly update these tables and review to ensure accurate information is being imported. The Registrar’s office will manually investigate these records and (if necessary) updated before sending the file to NSC. Every 30 days, representatives from the Financial Aid and the Registrar’s departments will pull 10 randomly selected student files to compare information in National Student Clearinghouse, PowerFaids, and NSLDS. The Director of Enrollment will work the error reports that the National Student Clearinghouse sends to LATC after every enrollment file upload with the assistance of the Database Administrator to ensure data submitted is compliant with DOE regulations. The Director of Financial Aid will review NSLDS to ensure corrections submitted by the Director of Enrollment are being properly recorded. Responsible Individual(s): Eric Schultz, Director of Enrollment and Kayla Bossly, Director of Financial Aid Anticipated Completion Date: Corrections complete by December 31, 2024. New process is ongoing.

Name of Responsible Individual: Shelia Yates-Mattingly, Registrar Corrective Action: In response to Finding 2024-003, Wheeling University will continue the enrollment reporting process that was implemented in October 2023, which was in response to Finding 2022-005 and continued with the Finding 2023-005. With the stability of staffing in the Registrar’s Office and Financial Aid Office and the level of experience and competence of this staff, enrollment reporting has been completed within the parameters of regulatory guidelines. The Registrar’s Office submits enrollment reports as scheduled and subsequent error resolution reports as appropriate. The Financial Aid Office reviews identified NSLDS errors, corrects and resubmits them timely. Regularly scheduled meetings, including the Registrar’s and Financial Aid Offices, continue as noted in corrective actions for Findings 2022-005 and 2023-005. These meetings serve as the platform to discuss and address identified enrollment reporting concerns/issues timely, resulting in improved accuracy in enrollment reporting and timeliness in error resolution. In addition, attendance through Census will be monitored in an effort better identify registered but not enrolled students for administrative action and timely reporting. Institutional enrollment reports will be used to identify students who have chosen not to continue their studies at the University but without withdrawing from the institution to alert departments to execute their operational protocols for students who have discontinued enrollment. Students who officially withdraw pursuant to established University protocols will be required to consult with Financial Aid during this process. University departments will continue to be informed of student withdrawals as they occur to inform their practices. Anticipated Completion Date: Processes in place since October 2023 continue and new measures implemented January 2025
