The University has adjusted the enrollment reporting calendar to ensure that updates, including the reporting of the graduation status (DegreeVerify), are certified, throughout the fiscal year, in order to maintain compliance with 34 CFR 682.610. The Office of the Registrar will prepare the certification data during its monthly processes. The certification data will be reviewed for accuracy by the Registrar, who will be responsible for ascertaining timely submittal of the data with the National Student Clearinghouse. The Office of the Registrar has submitted changes to update the reporting of the graduation status (DegreeVerify) from quarterly to approximately every 45 days. This time frame is being tested to ensure timely data sharing between NSC and NSLDS, while optimizing the least amount of duplicate statuses and error warnings. The timing can be adjusted, but will never cause the institution to go out of compliance with the 60-day reporting requirement.

Finding: 2023-001 – Revenue Loss Calculation (Earmarking) Auditor Description of Criteria, Condition, and Effect: In accordance with the Uniform Guidance, recipients of Coronavirus State & Local Fiscal Recovery Funds may use payments from CSLFRF to replace lost public sector revenue to provide government services. Recipients may use this funding to provide government services to the extent of the reduction in revenue experience due to the pandemic. Under the Final Rule, recipients can elect a one-time “standard allowance” or they can calculate lost revenue based on the formula provide in the Final Rule to determine the amount of funds that can be used for the provision of government services. The County calculated lost revenue for fiscal years 2020-2023; however, certain items included in the calculation are not allowed per the Final Rule. As a result, the amount of revenue loss reported on the SLFRF compliance/P&E reports was incorrect. Auditor Recommendation: Management has revised its internal revenue loss calculation. We recommend the County update the amount on the current quarterly report and ensure that any future calculations are correct. Corrective Action: The County agrees that management has already taken appropriate action and will continue to provide correct calculations of revenue loss for future quarterly reports. The amount of the County’s revenue loss far exceeds the amount of ARPA funds spent within that category, and so this item did not and will not impact the accuracy of the County’s ARPA expenditure reports. Responsible Person: Megan Banning, Finance Director Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2024

Audit Finding Number: 2023-001-Enrollment Reporting: Management concurs with the finding. The College submitted enrollment reports over the past year according to our approved submission schedule, but the reports were rejected due to configuration issues with our student information system (SIS). We worked diligently to resolve these issues with assistance from Anthology and the National Student Clearinghouse. All the reporting configuration issues that prevented timely and accurate reporting have been resolved and verified by the National Student Clearinghouse. The College has implemented a process whereby the Registrar reports graduation statuses at the conclusion of each term to the College's SIS for upload to the National Student Clearinghouse and subsequent transmission to NSLDS. The Registrar will create a separate report of students who have completed a program yet are continuing their education at the College. In addition, the Registrar will generate a weekly report from the College's SIS listing the last date of attendance for drops/withdrawals, leaves of absence, and standard periods of non-enrollment and upload to the National Student Clearinghouse with subsequent transmission to NSLDS monthly. As an internal control, submitting the report will be a joint venture between the Registrar, the Financial Aid Manager, and the Associate Vice President of Education. These individuals have completed all the required training to ensure accurate reporting. To ensure timely reporting, all will receive transmission and error reports, and submission dates will be set on outlook calendars as a constant reminder. Successful report submission will be a required report at the College's bi-weekly operations meeting. William H. Dindy, Associate Vice President of Education
