2024-002 Special Tests (Enrollment Reporting) Student Financial Assistance Cluster: U.S. Department of Education Federal Direct Student Loans (ALN 84.268) Federal Grant Numbers and Years: P268K240460 (9/1/2023-8/31/2024) Finding Type: Significant Deficiency and Noncompliance Responsible personnel: Christopher Nieves, Registrar, ctn2114@tc.columbia.edu, 212 678-4056 Corrective Action Plan: The College identified that the periodic degree record submission process to the Clearinghouse was not fully and accurately updating a student’s status at NSLDS from the prior status to Graduated. These students were not included on the Clearinghouse standard error resolution reports for review and timely correction by the College and therefore, the student status change(s) will also reflect a late certification. The Office of the Registrar consulted with the Clearinghouse which identified a universal limitation with the DegreeVerify service. Despite the College’s accurate and timely submission of degree conferral data, the process did not apply a Graduated enrollment status for students awarded multiple and similar level degrees and/or for students who have multiple enrollment records for more than one academic program. To address this issue, and with the Clearinghouse’s guidance, a manual correction process for the student population was implemented and is available through a separate section on their dashboard. Designated staff in the Registrar’s Office initiated enrollment history corrections through this process. As DegreeVerify reporting is conducted on a monthly basis by the College, manual corrections will also be processed monthly aligning with the submission schedule. Any necessary corrections will be completed directly following the Clearinghouse’s confirmation that the latest report has posted to the dashboard. This will ensure that all graduation statuses will be accurately and timely reflected and consistent across the College’s records and Campus and Program-Level records in NSLDS going forward. Additionally, while graduated status was not timely applied for these students, withdrawal status records were reported and available within the allowable grace period resulting in proper timing for entering federal loan repayment status.

2024-001 Reporting (Financial) Student Financial Assistance Cluster: U.S. Department of Education Federal Direct Student Loans (ALN 84.268) Federal Grant Numbers and Years: P268K240460, (9/1/2023-8/31/2024) Finding Type: Material Weakness and Noncompliance Responsible personnel: Alyssa Timko, Director of Financial Aid, act2156@tc.columbia.edu, 212 678-3654 Corrective Action Plan: In September 2023, the College identified a technical issue with the manual reporting process for student loan disbursements to COD and determined the existing solution was only partially functioning at that time. While some loan activity was timely and properly reported to COD, other student disbursement transactions were stalled and reported after the 15-calendar day requirement. At that time, the College’s ERP, Banner, job submission process for disbursement reporting to COD was manually initiated by the Office of Financial Aid. The resulting reports were then uploaded through the DOE’s EDconnect, a Windows based software application, using WinSCP file transfer (the same process was used for return files from COD). After an evaluation, it was determined that a new solution and process was required to ensure proper, complete and timely reporting under the regulations. The reporting process was redesigned in October 2023 as part of a plan to automate loan origination and now functions through Automic, a workload automation software. Instead of manually generated files and upload / receipt through EDconnect, student loan disbursement records are now automated to/from COD using TDClient, which is a command software for sending and receiving student aid related information through the DOE’s Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG). The new process regularly transfers loan disbursement data to COD. However, the College also determined that a prescheduled pause in the Automic loan origination process at the end of the fiscal year 2024 academic year (in August 2024), which was established in accordance with the regulations, also inadvertently paused loan disbursement reporting and resulted in late submissions. The Office of Financial Aid has also remedied this issue by adding non-standard reporting days to the standard calendar. Along with more frequent and recurring reconciliations of Banner to COD loan disbursement data and ensuring the continuation of disbursement reporting after loan originations are paused at the end the academic year, the College does not anticipate any further late reporting matters and expects all future disbursement data to be reported within 15 calendar days.

Point Park University submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended August 31, 2024. Finding 2024-001 - Enrollment Reporting Management Response: Management concurs with the finding Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan: Point Park University uses the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to transmit enrollment information to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). The University determined that students reported with incorrect status’s, students reported late, and students not reported; were due to incorrect formatting on an internally generated system report causing the status information to be incorrect. In addition, a final review of the information submitted to the NSC and the NSLDS did not take place. The following procedures have been implemented to ensure accurate reporting in the future. The internally generated report submitted to the NSC was modified to properly include all students enrolled and to correct all formatting errors which affected the student enrollment status. Once the report is submitted to the NSC, the Registrar will verify the total required enrolled students agrees with the total number of students received by the NSC. The Registrar will then correct any errors the NSC reports back to Point Park before submission to the NSLDS. After every submission, the Registrar performs a sample audit from Point Park’s system information and compares it to both the final information submitted to both the NSC and the NSLDS to make any final necessary corrections. The audit procedure is verified by management. Anticipated Completion Date: April 15, 2025 Name of Responsible Person: George Santucci, Director of Financial Aid

Global Community Charter School recognizes the management deficiencies cited by MMB+CO as finding 2024-001 in the FY2024 Audited Financial Statements. The following procedures have been implemented to mitigate and/or eliminate further process deficiencies. ● Beginning in August 2024, all participating operations staff were retrained and given clarity on the importance of accurate and timely count management. ● At the elementary and middle school, one operations person has been designated as responsible for the monthly count. This individual coordinates all personnel involved in the process and is further responsible for ensuring coverage and accuracy when personnel are shifted around or absent. ● This designated individual also meets with the food preparer weekly to check the provider’s meal count against the school's. ● The designated individual also annotates the weekly/monthly count on a digital worksheet that compares the food providers' count against the schools. ● The Director of Finance audits the worksheet monthly for “reasonability”, accuracy, and consistency. ● Post-audit, the CFO does a final review. If anything anomalous or inconsistent is found, the team will meet to confirm if the changes reflect actual student utilization. If no changes are required, the CFO takes the monthly data and uploads it to the template provided by the NSLP consultant who submits the voucher. In addition to the process outlined above, an ongoing review of student utilization is being conducted to reduce the waste and cost to the school created when too many meals are produced and students do not consume them. This process should allow meals produced to mirror consumption going forward. We implemented this process in mid-August and expect positive realignment and consistency from November 2024 onward.

CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN: Staff transitions in Financial Aid and the Enrollment Center at the onset of the Fall 2023 term contributed to the later-than-usual submission/certification of First of Term enrollment reporting. Financial Aid and the Enrollment Center experienced staff shortages with resignations and leave. The initial fall enrollment (First of Term) was certified by the Institution and submitted to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) on October 18, 2024 within 60 days of the start of the term on August 21, 2023, but the National Student Loan Data Systems (NSLDS) did not receive the submission within the 60-day requirement. Although we anticipate this to be a one-time incident, to prevent any recurrence and ensure enrollment changes are reported to NSLDS within 60 days, Financial Aid provided additional staff training in the Enrollment Submission process, and Early Registration enrollment submissions will be submitted within the first week of classes with the First of Term enrollment submission sent during the third week of classes. Financial Aid also updated the Institution’s NSLDS profile to ensure that records submitted for NSLDS Transfer Monitoring and Financial Aid History are added to the Enrollment Roster submitted to NSC. Financial Aid and the Registrar established an updated policy to ensure that Financial Aid is informed of students who graduate after the graduation process runs each term. After that, the Registrar will report late graduations to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) via the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). Financial Aid updated the student in question’s graduation status in NSLDS. Person(s) Responsible: Angela Weaver Timing for Implementation: Immediate

The District acknowledges the finding regarding noncompliance with federal wage rate requirements under the Davis-Bacon Act for a federally funded construction project. At the time, the District was unaware of the $2,000 threshold triggering these requirements and did not include the necessary wage rate provisions in the contract or collect certified payroll reports. To address this, the District is: • Updating procurement and contracting procedures to include Davis-Bacon Act requirements • Providing staff training on federal wage rate compliance • Implementing procedures to ensure proper contract language and weekly certified payroll collection • Establishing monitoring processes to verify ongoing compliance These actions will strengthen internal controls and ensure adherence to all applicable federal requirements moving forward.
