U.S. Department of Education, Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing # 84.033, 84.063, 84.007, 84.268 – Enrollment Reporting (Significant Deficiency). Condition: The University did not report student enrollment data to the National Student Clearinghouse within the minimum required timeframe. Criteria: Based on requirements set forth by 34 CFR Section 685.309(b)(2), the University is responsible for notifying the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) of changes to student’s enrollment data within minimum required timeframes. Cause: Controls are not functioning properly. Effect: Enrollment data was not reported timely or accurately to the Department of Education thus, the Department could not properly service the student’s loans. The accuracy of Title IV student loan records depends heavily on the accuracy of the enrollment information reported by institutions. Context: From a population of 129 students that withdrew officially or unofficially during a term, we tested 12 students and noted that the withdrawal date was incorrectly reported as the last day of the term for four students and was not reported for one student. In addition, the R2T4 calculation was prepared untimely for four students that required a calculation, as noted in finding 2024-004, and thus the withdrawal dates were reported untimely. Repeat Finding from Prior Year: Not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that a review process be put in place to ensure timely and accurate enrollment reporting to NSLDS. Corrective Actions: The policy to be developed regarding student withdrawals and R2T4 calculations will specify that students’ withdrawal dates are to be defined as the last date of academic attendance. The policy also will stipulate that, in accordance with National Student Clearinghouse requirements, Bluefield University will submit accurate student enrollment data throughout the academic year.

U.S. Department of Education, Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing # 84.033, 84.063, 84.007, 84.268 – Return of Title IV Funds (Significant Deficiency) Condition: The University failed to return Title VI funds to the Department of Education within 45 days of student’s date of determination. Criteria: Return of Title IV funds are required to be deposited or transferred into the SFA account or electronic fund transfers initiated to the Department of Education as soon as possible, but no later than 45 days after the date the institution determines that the student withdrew in accordance with 34 CFR Section 668.173(b). Cause: Controls are not functioning properly. Effect: Funds were not timely returned to students or federal agencies as required. Context: From a population of 129 students that withdrew officially or unofficially during a term, we tested 12 students and noted that the R2T4 calculations were required for nine students. Of the nine students, R2T4 calculations were prepared untimely for six students, resulting in a late return of Title IV funds. Repeat Finding from Prior Year: Not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend procedures are put in place to ensure R2T4 calculations are performed timely following the University’s date of determination. Corrective Actions: In February 2025, Bluefield University leadership will work with the combined staff of the University’s Bluefield Central one-stop administrative office to develop and document a policy to ensure that communication from the registrar’s office regarding a student’s official or unofficial withdrawal occurs within 15 days of the student’s withdrawal. The policy also will stipulate that the financial aid staff of Bluefield Central will complete R2T4 calculations within 30 days of the student’s withdrawal, and the University’s business office will return Title IV funds to the Department of Education within 40 days of a student’s withdrawal.

U.S. Department of Education, Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing # 84.033, 84.063, 84.007, 84.268 – Cash Management Condition: Overdrawn federal student aid funds were not timely returned to the Department of Education. Criteria: In accordance with 34 CFR 668.162(b), a school may not request more funds than the school needs immediately related to the disbursements the school has made or will make to eligible students and parents. A school must make the disbursements as soon as administratively feasible, but no later than three business days following the date the school receives those funds. Any funds not disbursed by the end of the third business day are considered excess cash. Cause: Lack of controls over cash management. Effect: Excess federal cash retained by the institution. Context: The University had overdrawn federal student aid funds of approximately $219,000 at June 30, 2024 related to draws that were made during June 2024. Repeat Finding from Prior Year: Not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend the University implement appropriate training regarding compliance regulations into the employee onboarding process and thereafter for applicable employees. Additionally, we recommend the University implements timely review procedures to ensure that any overdrawn funds are returned within the tolerance period. Corrective Actions: In early October 2024, all staff from teh business office, student accounts, and financial aid met and developed a plan whereby they will be developing a calendar to include all key dates regarding student financial milestones. This calendar will include dates such as preregistration preliminary charge and financial aid posting dates, semester/term start dates, semester/term census dates, final charge posting dates, among other important dates. The team drafted this calendar in fall 2024 and implemented it effective January 2025.

Criteria, Condition, Cause: We concur that our timely reporting of academically dismissed students during the non-required summer term is an issue and will be vigilant to prevent this delayed reporting in the fun1re. It should be noted that this small cohort was all deemed ineligible to return for the upcoming semester on the same day, and so that singular days' enrollment status changes were the only updates that were untimely in the submission to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). We will be modifying and monitoring our process to accurately capture and report to the NSLDS sh1dents determined to be ineligible to return in the fall semester even during a tenn of non-required enrollment. Effect, Questioned costs, Context: Enrollment rosters and updated enrollment statuses are reported regularly with NSLDS to ensure current enrollment status that can impact loan repayment dates and in-school deferments are accurately on record with the Department of Education. For the summer enrollment roster, although Allegheny's summer term is a non-required tern1, students that are not enrolled in the summer tern1, but Allegheny is aware that they will not be enrolled in the upcoming required fall tem1 must be reported as withdrawn through the summer enrollment roster. Recommendation The College will continue to confom1 to the NSLDS reporting process and timeline, and with the collaboration of the Financial Aid's, Registrar's, and Provost's Offices, will fully bring the non-required term enrollment reporting into alignment. For the next non-required summer tern1 enrollment report in 2025, Allegheny will be incorporating the shtdents determined to be academically dismissed from the spring tenn on the initial summer enrollment roster with the updated withdrawn stah1s. The initial summer enrollment roster will be submitted within 60 days.

The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce audited the Nutrition Department last school year and found the same inconsistencies in its accounting and claiming practices. For this reason, we implemented a new point of sale (POS) system in all schools during the summer of 2024. Implementing the POS system will eliminate human errors in our paper-tracking meal-claiming practices. With the new POS system, the cashier presses a “meal” key when students receive a reimbursable meal. Doing so automatically tallies the day's meal counts for breakfast and lunch. The POS system will "flag" schools that have over claimed their enrollment. This flagging system is the same system that is on the CRRS site that the state uses. The new POS can also generate monthly CN-6 & 7 forms, which automatically add up the school's monthly breakfast and lunch counts and are used to file meal reimbursement in CRRS. Daily the managers check their end of day reports to make sure the meals were accounted for properly and not over claimed. At the end of the month our accounting team also checks the meal counts for accuracy before the numbers are entered into CRRS.
