Northern Kentucky University agrees with the auditors' finding and recommendations. The
following corrective action will be taken:
The University will return $22,621 in federal student financial aid to United States Department of Education (USED) which represents the updated R2T4 accounting for the correct academic calendar end dates and breaks periods for the 2023-24 academic year.
The University provided the external auditors with the current year academic calendar (end of period, break day, etc) for review and validation.
The correct definition and calculation of days (end of enrollment period, break days, etc) will be used with return calculations.
There will be a review process that will include validation from the Assistant Vice President, Enrollment Management to verify calculations before finalizing returns.
Training will be provided to all relevant staff on the proper calculation methods to ensure compliance and accuracy which will include the review of the Federal Student Handbook - Volume 5 - Withdrawals and the Return of Title IV Funds and other relevant guidance from USED.
Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2024
Leah Stewart, Assistant Vice President, Enrollment Management
