Criteria or Specific Requirement - Special Tests and Provisions - Enrollment Reporting - 34 CFR Section 690.83(b)(2) and 685.309 Condition - Eight student status changes were not communicated to the NSLDS timely Questioned Costs - N/A Context - Out of the population of 312 students with enrollment status changes requiring reporting to NSLDS, a sample of 25 students was selected for testing. Of those 25 students, 8 student status changes were not reported to NSLDS within the required 60 days. Our sample was not, and was not intended to be, statistically valid. Effect - NSLDS was not notified of student status changes in accordance with compliance requirements Cause - The University did not have effective internal control processes in place to ensure the accurate collection, review and reporting of student status changes occurred timely. Recent turnover in personnel resulted in a lack of oversight as well. Indication as a Repeat Finding - N/A Recommendation - The University should review its internal controls surrounding the enrollment reporting process and ensure internal controls provide for the timely and accurate reporting of student status changes. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions - Amy Schlup, Director of Student Financial Services, and Rachel Hart, Registrar, will oversee the corrective action plan. New personnel in the Registrar's office have received training for student enrollment reporting and will submit reporting to NSLDS every 30 days in order to stay within the required 60 days. This reporting will take place around the 25th of every month and be completed by the Registrar only. The Associate Registrar and Director of Administrative Computing will retain alternate access in case of emergency. Error reports will be reviewed and resolved within one week ensuring that accurate information is provided to NSLDS well within the required time frame. The corrective action plan has already been completed as of October 9, 2024.

Criteria or Specific Requirement - Eligibility, 34 CFR Section 685.200(a)(2)(i) Condition - One student received need-based aid exceeding that student's financial need Questioned Costs - $2,069 Context - Out of the population of 1,301 students who received federal student financial assistance during the year, a sample of 25 students was selected for testing. One student was awarded need-based aid who did not have financial need. Our sample was not, and was not intended to be, statistically valid. Effect - One student received aid for which they were not eligible Cause - The student's estimated family contribution (EFC) was not updated to reflect a change in the student's attendance plan, and the student was awarded aid for the year using the student's four-month EFC rather than the twelve-month EFC. Indication as a Repeat Finding - N/A Recommendation - The University should review its procedures for ensuring appropriate EFC figures are used when awarding financial aid to ensure any changes in student information is accurately reflected in the information used to award student aid. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions - Amy Schlup, Director of Student Financial Services, and Carrie Hamilton, Assistant Director of Financial Aid, will oversee the corrective action plan. University IT personnel are creating a Change Report to identify students whose SAi (Student Aid Index, formerly EFC) months do not match the attendance pattern. This will alert Financial Services to adjust the budget to the appropriate timeframe that will prevent overawarding. The Student Financial Services team will review and retrain on the proper procedure to assign SAi months. The corrective action has begun and will be completed as of November 1, 2024.

The Corporation identified a subrecipient’s misuse of grant funds during a regular audit of draws and a scheduled monitoring review/technical assistance consultation for the agency. Ethic complaints were received by the Corporation during the same timeframe regarding the subrecipient’s management which expanded the scope of the financial review. As a result of these monitoring efforts, the Corporation identified ineligible and questioned costs, and efforts are underway to recapture ineligible and unsupported costs. The Corporation has put the following policies and procedures in place to mitigate future risk: 1. Biennial Risk Assessment with Annual Updates 2. Annual Project Compliance Report (APCR) required by subrecipient agencies (with the exception of subrecipients receiving only Department of Energy and LIHEAP grants for the Weatherization Assistance Program, which are governed by separate monitoring procedures). 3. Enhanced Draw Monitoring and draw documentation requirements 4. Expansion of the Corporation’s Compliance and Training Team Given the policies, procedures, and changes outlined above, the Corporation feels confident it will be able to comply with its Compliance Monitoring Plan going forward and identify any concerns with subrecipient compliance in a timely manner. Curtis Stauffer, Managing Director, Housing Contract Administration, and applicable compliance staff will implement by October 1, 2024.
