2023-008 Student Financial Aid Cluster (a) Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (b) Federal Work Study Grant (c) Federal Pell Grant Program (d) Federal Direct Loan Program, Assistance Listing No. (a) 84.007 (b) 84.033 (c) 84.063 (d) 84.268 - Year Ended June 30, 2023 Condition: During our testing of thirty-seven student files, we noted one individual (2.7%) received an excess of $1,969 over the maximum undergraduate level of $23,000 in Federal Direct Subsidized Loans. Corrective Action Plan: During the 2022-23 school year, an employee who retired in May 2023 awarded all returning student institutional aid and federal aid. Upon her retirement, Hannah Masters, Executive Director of Financial Aid and Student Accounts, took over awarding all students (incoming and returning students). Starting in June 2023, Hannah awards all students based on enrollment status from Jenzabar 1 (Cottey's ERP) for returning students and Salesforce for incoming students. Then on census date, the Registrar sends an updated final report of student grade level and attempted credit hours. Hannah then reviews all student accounts manually and confirms the enrollment, grade level, and loan levels for each student. This ensures no student is under or over awarded for the term based on grade level or financial need.

2023-007 Student Financial Aid Cluster (a) Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (b) Federal Work Study Grant (c) Federal Pell Grant Program (d) Federal Direct Loan Program, Assistance Listing No. (a) 84.007 (b) 84.033 (c) 84.063 (d) 84.268 - Year Ended June 30, 2023 Condition: Throughout the year cash on hand exceeded the immediate disbursement needs for three working days and the excess cash tolerances were not eliminated within seven working days. We consider this condition to be a significant deficiency in internal control over compliance relating to the Cash Management compliance requirement and is not a repeat finding. Corrective Action Plan: During the 2022-23 fiscal year, SEOG and Federal Work Study funds were drawn when funds were authorized, not when funds were expended. The mistake was realized in the Federal Work Study draw and the funds were returned, but the SEOG draw was not refunded. The funds were subsequently awarded. Going forward all Federal Funds will be drawn after they are awarded. Responsible Person for Correction Action Plan: Kevin Smithberger Implementation Date for Corrective Action Plan: August 2024

We consider this condition to be an instance of non-compliance relating to the Eligibility compliance requirement. Statistical sampling was not used in making sample selections. Corrective Action Plan: During the 2022-23 school year, an employee who retired in May 2023 awarded all returning student institutional aid and federal aid.

Hannah then reviews all student accounts manually and confirms the enrollment, grade level, and loan levels for each student. This ensures no student is under or over awarded for the term based on grade level or financial need. With the staffing changes, we are also now reviewing each package every time a FAFSA update is imported. This gives us another round of reviews to ensure students are not over or under awarded based on financial need.

2023-005 Student Financial Aid Cluster (a) Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (b) Federal Work Study Grant (c) Federal Pell Grant Program (d) Federal Direct Loan Program, Assistance Listing No. (a) 84.007 (b) 84.033 (c) 84.063 (d) 84.268 - Year Ended June 30, 2023 Condition: The College did not timely and accurately complete refund calculations due to excluding one extra day in error for Thanksgiving break, which caused the total days to be off by one day. In review of the calculations the number of days in the break was not calculated correctly, resulting in the incorrect days in 1 out of 4 return of Title IV funds calculations. As a result of the incorrect number of days, the amounts of Title IV returned was incorrectly calculated for 1 out of the population of 4 (25%) withdrawal calculations which resulted in only $32 being under refunded for one student in the sample. We consider this finding to be an instance of non-compliance in relation to Special Tests and Provisions and is not a repeat finding. Statistical sampling was not used in making sample selections. Corrective Action Plan: The Registrar's Office will review the school calendar in Common Origination and Disbursement Web Site before the financial aid office begins processing R2T4's for the school year.

2023-004 Student Financial Aid Cluster (a) Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (b) Federal Work Study Grant (c) Federal Pell Grant Program (d) Federal Direct Loan Program, Assistance Listing No. (a) 84.007 (b) 84.033 (c) 84.063 (d) 84.268 - Year Ended June 30, 2023 Condition: The College did not report actual loan disbursement dates to the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system for 5 of the 37 students in the sample (13.5%). We consider this condition to be a significant deficiency in internal control over compliance relating to the Eligibility compliance requirement and is a repeat finding shown in Section IV of this report as prior year finding 2022-003. Statistical sampling was not used in making sample selections. Corrective Action Plan: During the 2022-23 school year, an employee who retired in May 2023 worked in the financial aid office. After retiring, a new position was created that is split between the Business Office and Financial Aid and Student Accounts office. This position now reviews student accounts weekly, and during that review they compare the date of disbursement to the student account and the date of disbursement in COD. Through this process, any mismatched dates are corrected and updated to COD. Due to the audit completion delay, our action plan for the previous audit could not be put into place before the year had already been completed. Below is the previous audit plan to show that it was implemented, however, timing meant implementation happened after the 2022-23 year had ended. The financial aid office is currently hiring for a new position that will oversee student accounts. Once this position is filled, we will implement our updated policy and procedure that requires review and collaboration to monitor COD disbursement date, financial aid software disbursement date and student billing statement disbursement date. This will ensure both financial aid staff and student accounts staff will confirm each date in all areas.
