Corrective Action Plan - Upon reflection of the term end date and subsequently the status change date, the Office of Registrar at the University of Dallas updated the term end date to the last date of educationally related activities more widely known as the last date of the final examinations for each relevant term.
Upon consultation with the Office of the Provost at the University of Dallas and the appropriate Deans of the affected Colleges, the program length for the Master’s programs at the University of Dallas will be updated to three (3), for those programs who are at least 30 credit hours in length: which will meet a reasonable progression to such degree. The Office of Registrar at the University of Dallas will update all such programs for the University of Dallas.
The Office of Registrar and the Office of Financial Aid explored reporting enrollment directly to the National Student Loan Data System and while such was initially promising, the Office of Financial Aid determined that such activity would be disruptive to the business practices of the University of Dallas given the work needed for the Financial Value Transparency and Gainful Employment reporting in which the National Student Loan Clearinghouse has served as an invaluable partner. This option may still be explored further if additional resources become available.
The Office of the Registrar at the University of Dallas will split the graduation file sent to our third-party servicer, NSLC, so that the students from the Satish & Yasmin Gupta College of Business who are on a different calendar may be reported to NSLDS sooner which should assist in reporting those students on an earlier timeframe.
The Office of Registrar at the University of Dallas will begin rolling grades the week after Add/Drop on a weekly basis of each term to reduce the timeframe for students who have withdrawn from a course to be reported to NSLDS.
The Office of the Registrar at the University of Dallas will update the grading policy in Ellucian Banner to align any changes in grading policy for students who fail to attend course.
The Office of Financial Aid will work with the Student Registrar to ensure such reporting is accurate by reviewing the set-up of such data points as Enrollment Effective Date, Enrollment Status, Term Begin Date, Term End Date and Award Completion Date.
Implementation - The responsible parties include the Office of Registrar - Paula Brown, Registrar, the Office of Financial Aid, James Hubener, Director of Financial Aid, along with the staff of Information Technology led by Karl Horvath at the University of Dallas. Some updates to the status change dates or term end dates have already been recorded. Updates to the program length for Master’s programs will be made by November 2024. Implementation of internal Office of Registrar functions to assist in reporting for changes in grades and enrollment levels should be in place by November 30, 2024. Any change in the processing of the Graduated file from NSLC should be in place by the anticipated date of implementation of February 28, 2025. Full utilization of all changes by May 15, 2025 at the close of the Spring 2025 term.
