When SAP is run in the spring, students will be notified of their academic standing. Students who are suspended will have an opportunity to appeal their suspension. If the appeal of suspension is approved, students will meet with their academic advisor to be placed on an academic plan. The academic plan must be signed by both the student and advisor. The academic plan must be submitted to the Office of Financial Aid via the teams. A financial aid hold will be placed on the student's account until the signed academic plan is received. Once received, the Office of Financial Aid will remove the hold so the student can be awarded.

Currently, the College marks students withdrawn on the date the withdrawal is officially processed in the system, indicating their last data of attendance. The withdrawal policy will be updated to indicate that the withdraw date to be reported for all students withdrawing at either the program or campus level should be processed as the "last date of attendance". In the case of the 5-year program (4+1 internally), we currently do not officially "enroll" a student into the master's program until their bachelor's degree is conferred. The official admit date will be updated to reflect the term a student enters the master's program officially, which will begin after the conferral of their bachelor's degree. Our policy and processes for the 4+1 program will be updated to reflect this change.

The finding from the schedule of findings and questioned costs for the year ended December 31, 2023 are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the Schedule. Finding 2023-001 Condition: The Organization does not have proper segregation of duties and appropriate level of review and approval prior to charging costs to a federal program. The same individual was approving timecards and reimbursement packets without an additional layer of review.

The Student Financial Aid department will address the circumstances of the finding by working with the institution’s primary contact at the National Student Clearinghouse before Fall 2024. They will review and establish a scheduled transmission of reporting to meet the standards of The Department of Education Title IV programs.

Testing will be conducted randomly during Fall 2024 to ensure the accuracy of the new process and the information reported in each roster file.

The District has been monitoring and reporting expenditures accurately and timely on all active grants. It was a one-time issue and the District still has an overall solid internal control process in place. The District has since taken action and corrected the issues related to this finding. The Grants and Claims Management Unit implemented additional controls over the year-end close processes to ensure that all expenditures are accrued for year-end and included in the SEFA. The District is now running a general ledger report quarterly for grants with semi-annual reporting requirements to ensure expenditures are captured within the fiscal year regardless of when construction activity has begun. In addition, the year-end checklist has been updated to ensure that the year-end expenditure review is completed by the project management team for each grant. The Finance department will provide more training and frequent communication with the project management team to ensure that all grant expenditures during the year are accounted for. The department will also continue to proactively enforce the existing policies and procedures requiring departments to complete expenditure reporting.

Individuals Responsible for Corrective Action Plan Daniel Hall (Interim Vice President for Finance and Administration) Libby Shull, CPA (Controller) April Baur (Director of Student Financial Aid) Kevin Crider (Chief Information Officer) Vicky Wilson (Registrar) Finding 2023-006 For 3 of 24 students selected for testing, the College was unable to locate Perkins master promissory note. Corrective Action Plan: The College maintains all Perkins promissory notes in alphabetical order, in a dedicated filing cabinet, in a fireproof vault. This finding relates to promissory notes that were signed in 1987, 2006, and 2016, and the College is not aware of what may have caused these promissory notes to be misplaced. No further action is planned by Management as the Perkins Loan Program expired on September 30, 2017 and no additional Perkins Loan disbursements were made by the College since the Program’s expiration.

Individuals Responsible for Corrective Action Plan: Daniel Hall (Interim Vice President for Finance and Administration) Libby Shull, CPA (Controller) April Baur (Director of Student Financial Aid) Kevin Crider (Chief Information Officer) Vicky Wilson (Registrar) Finding 2023-002 For 2 of 2 mid-year transfer students tested, the school did not actively add these students to the NSLDS transfer monitoring list. Corrective Action Plan: While the college experienced significant turnover in its staffing in fiscal years 2021 and 2022, the college has historically reviewed the NSLDS history of transfer students to ensure they were not enrolled or receiving a disbursement for the current term at another institution. Any student that showed a pending disbursement on COD would be notified to inform their previous college and request the pending disbursement be removed. Starting in the fall 2023, the transfer monitoring tool was utilized along with reviewing NSLDS history.

For 4 of 29 students selected for testing, the College did not timely report campus level data to NSLDS. For 4 out of 29 students, the College did not report students’ enrollment statuses accurately. Corrective Action Plan: The college will be more cognizant of reporting accurate student information to the National Student Clearinghouse in a timelier fashion. The Registrar’s Office and Information Technology Office will review the reporting procedures to determine if changes are necessary in the parameters selecting the appropriate student information that is sent to the National Student Clearinghouse and retrieved by the NSLDS.

Individuals Responsible for Corrective Action Plan Daniel Hall (Interim Vice President for Finance and Administration) Libby Shull, CPA (Controller) April Baur (Director of Student Financial Aid) Kevin Crider (Chief Information Officer) Vicky Wilson (Registrar) Finding 2023-008 The College did not have a formal procurement policy in place documenting procedures that conform to the procurement standards in the Uniform Guidance. Corrective Action Plan: The College obtained multiple quotes for a Wi-Fi refresh project. The Chief Information Officer, under the guidance of the Vice President of Finance and Administration, analyzed these quotes and determined that one of them most closely met the needs of the College. This quote was submitted to Laurens County as part of the ARP Infrastructure Application, prepared by the College’s Corporate & Foundation Relations Officer. After Laurens County granted the funding for the Wi-Fi project to the College, the College moved forward with the vendor and scope of work laid out in the quote. However, the College does recognize that it did not adhere to all aspects of the Federal Procurement Policy. The Vice President of Finance and Administration, along with the Controller, will both implement a procurement policy for any purchases made with Federal funds that satisfies the requirements laid out in the Federal Procurement Policy and also educate any faculty/staff involved in purchasing products/services involving Federal funds.
