Individuals Responsible for Corrective Action Plan Jeff Scaccia, CPA (Vice President for Finance and Administration) Libby Shull, CPA (Controller) April Baur, (Director of Student Financial Aid) For 1 of 40 students tested, the College was unable to provide a copy of the award disbursement notification letter sent to student and or parent for parent plus borrowers, which includes the amount of funds the student and his or her parent can expect to receive from each FSA program and how and when those funds will be disbursed. Corrective Action Plan: The College recognizes that when Direct Loan funds are being credited to a student?s ledger account (except in the case of loan funds made as part of a post-withdrawal disbursement), the school must notify the borrower in writing (paper or electronically) of the: ? anticipated date and amount of the disbursement; ? student?s or parent?s right to cancel all or a portion of a loan or loan disbursement and have the loan proceeds returned to the Department; and ? procedures and deadlines by which the student or parent must notify the school that he or she wishes to cancel the loan or loan disbursement. The timing of a loan notification varies depending on whether a school obtains affirmative confirmation from a student that he or she wants a loan. Affirmative confirmation is a process under which a school obtains written confirmation of the types and amounts of Title IV loans a student wants for the period of enrollment before the institution credits the student?s account with those loan funds (34 CFR 668.165(a)(6)). Presbyterian College requires students to accept Direct Loan awards in BannerWeb so notifications are sent according to requirements when a student actively confirms the loan. Disbursement notifications were sent to students after each disbursement during the 2021-2022 academic year; however, the parent was not directly notified of a PLUS loan disbursement. For the 2023-2024 academic year, a PLUS Loan Form has been created and will be sent to the parent borrower to confirm the amount requesting. As of March 6, 2023, notifications are being created to notify parents with PLUS loans of disbursement and their rights. Anticipated Completion Date: March 6, 2023
