CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN The compliance audit identified one finding, which is described in the Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. We evaluated this matter, as described below, and have outlined our corrective actions as a result. 2022-001 - Timeliness of Student Status Changes Background Gabrielle Coles was found to be reported to NSLDS for enrollment status change 9 days late, on the 69th day. This student officially withdrew from the Fall 2021 semester on November 30, 2021. At the time of the fall withdrawal, the student was also registered for winter term at half time. The original setup of the Colleague system caused the incorrect enrollment status to be reported for the student (as it was not considering the use of the unofficial withdrawal date in the Clearinghouse report file). However, we do have measures in place to review our withdrawn students one by one out in NSLDS to ensure we are compliant. When it was found by the Financial Aid Specialist that an error was reported to NSLDS, the responsible party -the former Registrar- was notified on two separate occasions to have the status updated; both notifications happened prior to the 60-day mark. Despite the notifications, the error was not updated until the 69th day. Issue The Colleague system did not correctly pull the withdrawal status or correct date. However, the issue was found well before the 60-day mark by the Financial Aid Specialist who reviews each withdrawn student in NSLDS biweekly. The Specialist did notify the responsible party of the error (twice). Due to human error (as we believe the former Registrar did not notice the fall withdrawal but instead only saw the half time winter registration), the issue was not resolved in time. This individual no longer works at the college. Subsequent to this issue, IT was engaged to look further into the Colleague report to identify the root cause of why some students were being reported with the wrong dates. After much research, we changed how the report was pulling withdrawn students and their withdrawal date. This change will also prevent issues from occurring in the future. Resolution With the corrective action plan put in place of both the Colleague system considering the unofficial date of withdrawal and the Financial Aid Specialist notifying the responsible party of enrollment status changes that are incorrect at NSLDS, we are confident that the enrollment reporting requirements should now be met. Responsible Party Director of Financial Aid ? Sarah Kasabian-Larson Date of Planned Corrective Action Effective immediately. March 2nd, 2022 Management Assessment We concur with the audit assessment regarding this matter.

HSEMA concurs with the substance of the finding. The FFATA report for this grant is currently incomplete. HSEMA has procedures in place to file FFATA reports and does so for the other grants it manages. The Public Assistance grant is still missing some subrecipient information required to file the FFATA report in FSRS. Since the fiscal year 2021 audit was completed, we have been collecting the new Universal Entity Identifier (UEI) information for the Public Assistance grant subrecipients to be able to enter their subaward information into the FSRS system. Some subrecipient UEI profile information in SAM.gov is incomplete or generates an error in the FSRS system preventing the filing of the FFATA report. HSEMA is working with those subrecipients to get them to update their SAM.gov UEI profiles. See Corrective Action Plan for chart/table

Finding: Special Tests and Provisions: Borrower Transmission Data The Seminary must report all loan disbursements and submit required records to the Direct Loan Servicing System (?DLSS?) via the Common Origination and Disbursement (?COD?) within 30 days of disbursement. Disbursement dates and amounts in the DLSS must be supported by the Seminary?s records. Out of thirteen students selected for testing, one student had a date reported to COD outside of the required timeframe. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management is in agreement with this finding. Develop/enhance disbursement rules, policies and procedures. Submit/adjust COD disbursement records timely. Immediately update COD estimated disbursement dates when aid is posted to the student's account.

Finding: Special Tests and Provisions: Enrollment Reporting Changes in enrollment to less than half time, graduated or withdrawn must be reported to the National Student Loan Data System within 30 days. However, if a roster file is expected within 60 days of the status change, a school may provide the data on that roster file. Of the three students within the sample of students tested that had status changes, all were reported to NSLDS outside of the required timeline, and two were reported to NSLDS inaccurately subsequent to the 2021-2022 fiscal year. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management is in agreement with this finding. Update the Student Information System timely; have a process in place with specific people responsible for updating and submitting the roster timely; train staff; create and follow policies and procedures to ensure there are no delays in reporting a change in status. Management will implement a reporting mechanism to identify and a process to address withdrawals as determined whereby updates will be submitted to the NSLDS Responsible Official: Tafe Lindsey Completion Date: Ongoing

Two students were not included in the conferral file that was transmitted to the National Student Clearinghouse. For 3 of 27 Campus-Level Records sampled, the University did not report the student?s change in status in a timely notification to the NSLDS website. For 3 of 27 Program-Level Records sampled, the University did not report the student?s change in status in a timely notification to the NSLDS website. For 5 of 27 Program-Level Records sampled, the University did not accurately report all significant data elements in a timely notification to the NSLDS website. While NSC records were reviewed, these items were not caught. Moving forward, two staff members will review each record to ensure that the graduated status is reported correctly. We will work with Student Financial Services to determine if there is a NSLDS report that can be pulled and reviewed after each conferral cycle. Program level data was reported to the NSC. We will work with the NSC to determine why all records aren?t being reported to the NSLDS.

2022-001 Agency: U.S. Department of Education Assistance Listing Number: 84.007, 84.033, 84.038, 84.063, 84.268, and 84.379 Program: Student Financial Aid Program Cluster Condition: Management?s review of the Return of Title IV (R2T4) calculation did not detect errors on the dates used in the calculation. We identified the federal aid refunds for students in the Fall 2021 semester were not calculated correctly resulting the incorrect amount being refunded. Criteria: The College is responsible for designing, implementing and maintaining internal control over compliance for special tests and provisions and for accurately calculating the R2T4 refund. When a recipient of Title IV grant or loan assistance withdrawals from an institution during a payment period, Title IV regulations (34 CFR 668.22) require the College to determine the amount of Title IV grant or loan assistance that the student earned as of the withdrawal date and return the unearned portion of the grant or loan to the Title IV program as soon as possible but no later than 45 days after the withdrawal date. Questioned costs: The amount of questioned costs was $1,062. Context: We tested three (3) students out of eleven (11) students that received a refund. Seven (7) of the eleven (11) student refunds occurred in the fall semester. Cause: The College?s internal control over compliance did not detect and correct the errors. Management has indicated the R2T4 calculation was not correctly calculated as the dates entered into the software were outdated due to the semester dates changing. Effect: The College processed R2T4?s incorrectly and returned the incorrect amount of funds and the College?s internal controls over compliance did not detect and correct the errors. Recommendation: We recommend management review their processes and controls in place to ensure appropriate refunds are made relating to Title IV grant funding. Corrective Action Plan: The Associate Director will request the academic year calendar directly from Academic Dean?s office prior to setting up R2T4 parameters in Department of Education?s Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system each semester. After student financial aid personnel enter the semester dates in COD, the Director or Associate Director will verify the dates entered agree to the academic calendar.

The University agrees with the finding. The University has had a significant amount of staff turnover and reorganization in FY 2022, including in the grant?s office.

The University agrees with the finding and to ensure compliance with the federal requirements that disbursement data be reported within the 15-calendar window, the Financial Aid Director is in the process of developing a new Policy that will address the review of rejected or denied Pell Disbursement. Any Pell Award that is disbursed but rejected or denied on COD will be cancelled off student accounts while the Financial Aid Office resolves the reason why a Pell Grant disbursement was rejected or denied. Some situations cannot be resolved within the 15-day window. It is therefore prudent for the University to remove the Pell disbursement and resolve the issue before re-disbursing the award. The new Policy will also include a pre-disbursement authorization process to confirm that the disbursement once requested will be accepted on COD, therefore reducing the risk of the University disbursing a Pell Award that will be rejected on COD. The University has also contracted with a PeopleSoft consultant to address the manual processes and develop a more automated business process.

Charter Schools ? AL #84.282 Education Stabilization Fund ? AL #84.425C, 84.425D & 84.425U 2022-001 Risk Assessment Process Related to Compliance Requirements (Repeat Finding 2021-001) Material Weakness Recommendation: The Auditor recommended additional resources be allocated to federal award compliance to review federal award provisions and requirements, evaluate risks of noncompliance, and respond to such risks through internal controls. The process should include methods to identify and communicate changes to federal award requirements to all key individuals within the Organization and to verify internal controls are implemented correctly and are operating effectively. Planned Corrective Action: As the organization has grown, compliance of federal programs has become decentralized. We agree that additional resources need to be added to ensure compliance with all state and federal awards. The Organization is adding additional capacity to the Business Office to centralize the compliance and reporting responsibilities. The Organization has recently had the opportunity to redesign the job description of the Controller. To allow the Controller more capacity for compliance and reporting responsibilities, an accounts payable position will be added by the end of Fiscal Year 2023. The Controller will attend appropriate trainings to ensure a full understanding of all requirements. This should be fully implemented by mid-2023.
