Criteria: Under the Pell grant and ED loan programs, Institutions are responsible for timely enrollment reporting to NSLDS whether they report directly or via a third-party servicer such as the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). Enrollment Reporting in a timely and accurate manner is critical for effective management of the programs. Enrollment information must be reported within 60 days whenever the enrollment status changes for students, unless a roster will be submitted within 60 days. These changes include reductions or increases in attendance levels, withdrawals, graduations, or approved leaves-of-absences. The University concurs with the audit finding and will adhere to the corrective action plan. Corrective Action Plan: Viginia Union University has signficiantly imprved its compliance with federal regulations for enrollment reporting to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). During FY24, a comprehensive review of all files from FY21 to FY23 was conduted to ensure accurate and timely reporting of students' enrollment statuses to the NSLDS. In addition to reviewing previous years, any delinquent reporting for FY24 was also updated to reflect the current status. By April 2024, reporting to NSLDS was synched to a cycle to ensure compliance with the 60-day window. In October 2023, Virginia Union revised its Enrollment Reporting Policy to outline the reporting schedule for submissions to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). This updated policy sets forth the timeline and guidelines for enrollment reporting. In addition, Virginia Union University implemented a process to code students who are identified as Unofficial Withdrawal in teh Jenzabar system. This process will ensure these students are included in the monthly reporting to the National Student Clearinghouse even if they do not complete the formal withdrawal process.
