Inaccurate Packaging of Federal Direct Loans (FDL) Planned Corrective Action: Shorter University will provide additional training to Financial Aid Staff regarding the importance of reviewing students financial aid offers after manual adjustments are made. The training will include practice scenarios. In addition to training staff, Shorter University's Director of Information Technology is creating a quality control report that will identify students who may be eligible for a subsidized Stafford loan but have not received one. The report will be monitored by the Assistant Director of Financial Aid Systems who will review the students' financial aid. The quality control report will ensure the proper subsidized and unsubsidized Stafford loan allocation. A manual adjustment error was made to a student's financial aid offer, after financial aid was accepted resulting in an under awarding of a Stafford loan. A $3,500 unsubsidized loan to subsidized loan swap will be completed to hold the student harm less and correct the manual adjustment error. Person Responsible for Corrective Action Plan: Colleen Lassiter Anticipated Date of Completion: Training will be completed November 8, 2024 and Quality Control Report will be completed by December 15, 2024.

This individual is monitoring monthly submissions to TRACs by all properties, and flagging underperformance on annual recertifications in addition to other HUD key performance metrics.

October 22, 2024 RE: Finding 2024-001 Student Financial Aid Cluster Enrollment Reporting - Clearinghouse for National Student Loan Data (NSLDS) enrollment reporting for the Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 semesters. Student Affair’s response and corrective action plan. Purpose of Student Reporting Student enrollment reporting is critical, as it is sent to the National Student Clearinghouse, which then provides this data to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). This information is used to determine students' enrollment status, which is essential for the administration of financial aid, particularly for calculating grace periods and repayment timelines for student loans. Corrective Actions and Process Changes Once we identified the reporting issue, we re-ran the reports using the previous method, prior to the saved list implementation, to compare the results. We thoroughly reviewed the enrollment numbers for both semesters to ensure all students were correctly reported. In addition, we contacted the National Student Clearinghouse to make the necessary corrections. To ensure this issue is fully resolved moving forward, we have implemented a more rigorous internal process, including thorough testing and random sampling. We now compare reported enrollment data against actual student enrollment for each semester, allowing us to verify that all students are accurately reported. These enhanced measures will safeguard against similar oversights in the future. Challenges with Clearinghouse Resolution While we completed our internal corrections, we experienced significant delays in finalizing the data updates due to customer service challenges on the National Student Clearinghouse’s side. After escalating the issue, we were able to receive assistance from a representative on October 23rd, which we believe will resolve the discrepancies.

During the previous year, IHA had 3 contractors inspecting for HCV and not using the internal software which led to multiple issues including missing documentation. IHA hired a full time, HQS/NSPIRE certified inspector in August 2023 to ensure HQS inspections are completed in a timely manner and within regulation. IHA has also purchased the BOB.AI software which monitors and schedules upcoming initial, reinspection’s, annual and special inspection requests. Inspection letters are generated in this program as well as results/finding items. Inspections spreadsheets have been created for tracking purposes by the HCV Director. The inspector reviews his weekly schedule with the HCV Director for accuracy.

We thought it was to be reported on the accrual basis to coincide with the Schedule of Federal Expenditures for expenditure incurred in the period of 7/1/2022-6/30/2023. If only expenses up to the amounts received were to be reported for the period, there would be no data related to the ESSER II and ARP grants to report since we had incurred expenses exceeding the cash payments received prior to 6/30/2022. The original reports were reviewed by NYSED during their desk audit and they did not report any issues with it. In the future, we will contact the agency for the reporting instruction clarifications.
