Name of Responsible Individual: Brian K. Blackburn, Director of Financial Aid Corrective Action: A system error prevented scheduled Pell disbursements from taking place on the appropriate day thus creating a discrepancy in the timing of reporting. This discrepancy created the need for all disbursements to be verified manually and during the time needed to complete verification of the disbursement, the University was out of compliance. New reports have been created to ensure that all scheduled disbursements have disbursed within the University system and in the COD system and are accurately reported within the 15 calendar days as required. In the case of the identified student and their Direct Loan disbursement, the student's Unsubsidized loan was inadvertently disbursed with required documents missing. The University has put in to place a series of reports and measures that ensures a loan will not disburse if a student is missing required documents or is not in one of Powerfaids "Ready to Disburse" statuses. Anticipated Completion Date: March 7,2023

The University will continue to closely monitor and communicate with students entering on default on a month-to-month basis, in addition to sending defaulted student loans to the Illinois State Comptroller?s Offset system.

Finding 2022-001 Program: Federal Family Education Loans CFDA No.: 84.032 Federal Agency: Department of Education Award Year: Various Compliance Requirement: C ? Cash Management University?s Response: The University has continued to ensure these funds are not comingled and has protected them from spending. Because of the discrepancies identified, each student?s loan history must be reviewed and compared between the University Information System, the lender rosters, and the National Student Loan Database System (NSLDS) records. This individual review and reconciliation have proven to be a tedious but necessary process to identify the funds never posted to student records, returned to lenders, or entered incorrectly in the three separate systems of record. Corrective Action Plan: Between 2005 and 2010, the University isolated and identified eight hundred and eighty transactions for four hundred thirty-eight students they could not reconcile. The Senior Director of Student Financial Services is continuing to review each student?s loan history between the three systems of record to determine where the discrepancy lies. Once these discrepancies are identified for all 438 students, the University will consult with the DoE to determine the necessary action to correct these individual student accounts. Name of Responsible Person: Jonathan Mador, Senior Director of Student Financial Services Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2023

2022-003 Significant Deficiency: Exit Counseling (U.S. Department of Education, William D. Ford Direct Loan Program, ALN #84.268) Name of Contact Person: The Director of Financial Aid, Christin Mustard, is responsible for the corrective action for this finding. Exit counseling letters are generated by the Financial Aid Counselors, who report to the Director of Financial Aid. Corrective Action Plan: King University concurs with finding 2022-003, that exit interviews were not sent to students as required upon withdrawal from the university or dropping below halftime enrollment status. This functionality was handled by previous staff who are no longer with the university. These duties were not clearly assigned in our policies and procedures, which resulted in inconsistencies in sending out exit letters as required. We now have established clear policies and procedures to correct this finding. These are as follows: As part of the withdrawal process, the Financial Aid Counselors will send exit letters within the required timeframe upon receiving notification from the Office of Registration and Records that a student has withdrawn from the University. The counselors will also utilize the Daily Load Report and a series of selection sets to identify students who have dropped below halftime enrollment, and will send the exit letters as required by federal regulations. Anticipated Completion Date: The Financial Aid Office has reviewed all students who have withdrawn or dropped below halftime enrollment status in the 2021-22 and 2022-23 award years to ensure that exit letters were sent. This corrects these findings.
