Corrective Action Plan Thursday, February 12, 2026 Harrisburg Area Community College respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2025. The findings from the June 30, 2025 audit report dated February 13, 2026 schedule of findings and questioned cost are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Agency: (Federal Agency per Finding): U.S. Department of Education Audit Period: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 Name and Address of independent public accounting firm: Smith Elliott Kearns & Company, LLC, Certified Public Accountants & Consultants, 804 Wayne Avenue, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania 17201 Finding Type: (per Finding) Federal Awards: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Noncompliance Internal Control Type: (please choose the type per the finding)  Material Weakness(es) o Significant Deficiencies Audit Finding No.: 2025-001 Federal Program: (per Finding) Student Financial Assistance Cluster Compliance Requirement: (per Finding) Return of Title IV Funds Audit Finding Title/Statement of Condition: (copy from audit findings documentation): The College did not comply with federal requirements related to the timely return of Title IV funds. Specifically, the College failed to return aid for four students who never attended within the 30-day period required under 34 CFR 668.21(b). In addition, the College did not return funds for one student who began attendance but subsequently required a refund within the 45-day timeframe mandated under 34 CFR 668.173(b). Auditor Recommendation: (copy from audit findings documentation) The College should strengthen its internal controls and monitoring procedures to ensure compliance with federal return-of-funds requirements. This should include timely verification that calculated refund amounts match what is actually returned, improved review processes to confirm that students who never attended are identified promptly, and training for relevant staff to ensure consistent understanding and execution of federal aid return requirements. Specific steps to be taken to correct the situation [including a timetable for performance of the CAP] or reason why corrective action is not necessary (including disagreement with the finding). The College has made several enhancements that should prevent future problems with the return of funds. 1) In fall 2025, the College instituted a new process for collecting data for attendance/participation of students. This process includes a data collection approximately one week into the part of term (the “Academic Participation Data Collection) – and before the disbursement of Title IV aid. It also includes follow up with faculty at several intervals throughout the semester to encourage them to withdraw students who have stopped attending. This improved process gives us clearer and more transparent data on attendance/participation so that aid recalculations and returns can be managed in a more timely manner 2) As of January 2025, the College has implemented a process to prevent the disbursement of Title IV (TIV) aid to students who are not enrolled in a future semester or are not considered actively attending. For example, if a student attended the Fall semester but is not enrolled for the Spring semester, Title IV funds cannot be disbursed if the aid was not originated before the student became ineligible. This process applies in both directions, as disbursement includes both paying funds to a student’s account and reversing funds when appropriate. Accordingly, the Previous Semester Fund Request process is designed to ensure that Title IV funds are either paid or reversed in compliance with federal requirements. 3) The Financial Aid team will continue processing returns at the time that an R2T4 occurs to prevent miscommunications and ensure timely completion. 4) The Financial Aid team and Finance teams will collaborate and engage Bank Mobile to improve the processing of stale checks and timed out funds. Anticipated Completion Date: May 1, 2026 Name(s) and Title(s) of contact person(s) responsible for correction action: Tim Barshinger, Associate Vice-president of Student Enrollment Services Juan Cordoba, Financial Aid Director

Contact Phone Number 812-246-3375 Email Address: avanover@scsc.school Views of Responsible Officials: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Corporation will implement and consistently apply a standardized two-level review and approval process for all grant reimbursements to ensure proper accounting, documentation, and compliance. The grants administrator (or designee) will prepare and conduct the initial review of each grant reimbursement to verify that all expenses and receipts contain the correct accounting information, are properly documented, and are recorded in the appropriate accounts within the Financial Management System (FMS). The Corporation Treasurer (or designee) will perform an independent secondary review of all grant reimbursements, including a review of supporting documentation and account coding, and will provide final approval and signature as evidence of authorization. On a monthly basis, grant accounts will be reviewed by the grants administrator for accuracy and completeness, with the Corporation Treasurer (or designee) conducting a secondary monthly review to confirm accuracy and compliance. This two-level review process ensures adequate segregation of duties, strengthens internal controls, and provides documented oversight of all grant reimbursement activity. Anticipated Completion Date: The ESSER grant is finished. If we were to receive this grant in the future, Silver Creek School Corporation would apply the procedures in the corrective action plan.

Pennsylvania College of Art & Design Management’s Corrective Action Plan 6/30/25 Finding: Tuition revenue reported on the FISAP did not agree to the final audited general ledger due to timing of preparation and lack of documented reconciliation. Management Response and Corrective Action Plan: Management concurs with the finding. During the fiscal year, the Director of Financial Aid prepared the FISAP using tuition data obtained from the Bursar’s office in early September in order to meet the October 1 filing deadline. At that time, not all year-end adjusting journal entries had been recorded by the Controller, and a formal reconciliation of the FISAP tuition amount to the final general ledger had not been performed. To remediate this issue and strengthen internal controls over federal reporting, the College has implemented the following corrective actions: Formal Reconciliation Requirement Effective immediately, all financial data reported on the FISAP will be reconciled to the final general ledger balances after year-end adjusting entries are posted. Defined Roles and Review Process The Director of Financial Aid will prepare the FISAP using tuition revenue from the Controller-approved general ledger. The Controller will prepare and document a reconciliation between: FISAP tuition revenue General ledger tuition revenue The Chief Financial Officer will review and sign off on the reconciliation prior to FISAP submission. Responsible Officials: Controller (reconciliation), Director of Financial Aid (FISAP preparation), CFO (final review) Implementation Date: Effective for the June 30, 2026 reporting cycle.

Brooklyn Law School Single Audit Corrective Action Plan For the Year Ending June 30, 2025 Section III - Federal Awards Findings and Questioned Costs Finding 2025-001: Significant Deficiency - NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Criteria: Title IV regulations (34 CFR 685.309(b)) require that upon receipt of an enrollment report from the Secretary of the Department of Education (Secretary), institutions must update all information included in the report and return the report to the Secretary: (I) in the manner and format prescribed by the Secretary; and (ii) within the timeframe prescribed by the Secretary. Unless the institution expects to submit its next updated enrollment report to the Secretary within the next 60 days, an institution must notify the Secretary within 30 days after the date the institution discovers that: (i) a loan under Title IV of the Act was made to or on behalf of a student who was enrolled or accepted for enrollment at the institution, and the student has ceased to be enrolled on at least a halftime basis or failed to enroll on at least a half-time basis for the period for which the loan was intended or (ii) a student who is enrolled at the institution and who received a loan under Title IV of the Act has changed his or her permanent address. Condition: The Law School did not notify the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) in a timely manner for 23 students with status changes in our sample of 25 students. For 2 out of 25 students selected in the sample, the effective date that was reported to the NSLDS did not match the date that the student changed status. The sample was not a statistically valid sample. Questioned Costs: There are no questioned costs associated with this finding. Cause: The Law School's controls surrounding the reporting of students’ statuses and status effective dates to the NSLDS did not appropriately ensure the information was submitted accurately or timely. Effect: The accuracy of the Title IV student loan records depends heavily on the accuracy of the enrollment information reported by schools. If an institution does not review, update, and verify student enrollment statuses, effective dates of the enrollment status, and the anticipated completion dates, then the Title IV student loan records will be inaccurate. Recommendation: We recommend that the Law School review its procedures for student status changes and NSLDS notifications to ensure there are follow-up and review procedures being performed for all students with status changes at the Law School to ensure accurate and timely reporting. Management Response: Management agrees with the finding, The Director of Financial Aid and the Registrar will implement procedures and controls in fiscal 2026 to ensure accurate and timely updating of the enrollment reports to NSLDS.

This format is challenging because it requires specific, unique answers for each of our 19 sites but only provides fields for 10. This limitation makes accurate and comprehensive reporting impossible, as the correct response is unique to each site. While we have collaborated with EHB to modify the format, the submission is still restricted to 10 sites. Consequently, for the most recent reporting period, we completed the electronic submission for the initial 10 sites and submitted a separate emailed document containing the progress information for the remaining 9 sites.

Finding 2025-001 The College concurs with the audit finding that students who withdrew at the conclusion of the fall 2024 semester were not reported to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) within the required 60-day reporting timeframe. This occurred as a result of two primary factors: (1) the enrollment reporting schedule with the National Student Clearinghouse was outdated, and (2) the 60-day reporting requirement was not clearly defined within Allegheny’s internal processes. Allegheny recognizes the importance of timely and accurate reporting of students’ enrollment status to NSLDS. Enrollment rosters and updated enrollment statuses are regularly reported to NSLDS to ensure that changes affecting loan repayment obligations and in-school deferment eligibility are accurately reflected within the Department of Education’s records. The College is committed to strengthening its procedures to ensure continued compliance with federal reporting requirements. The College will continue to adhere to NSLDS reporting processes and required timelines. Through enhanced collaboration among the Financial Aid, Registrar’s, and Provost’s Offices, Allegheny will fully align and formalize enrollment reporting procedures. The College will review, verify, and update reporting schedules to ensure accuracy and compliance with applicable requirements. Specifically, the College will annually review its enrollment reporting schedule with the National Student Clearinghouse to ensure that enrollment data is transmitted to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) at least once every 60 calendar days, in accordance with federal reporting requirements. For students who notify the College of their intent to leave at the upcoming conclusion of a semester, the College will report the student as enrolled on the final enrollment report for that term and will then manually update the student's enrollment status to withdrawn within a few days of the report’s submission, rather than waiting for the next scheduled enrollment transmission, to ensure timely and accurate reporting. Allegheny College will implement quarterly review of processes established to ensure compliance. This proactive approach will ensure ongoing compliance with federal regulations. In addition, Allegheny College is developing a secondary review process for each enrollment report submission to identify students with recent or pending enrollment status changes. This review will serve as a quality control check to ensure that students whose enrollment status has changed since the prior reporting period are accurately identified and updated, thereby strengthening oversight and ensuring timely and compliant reporting to NSLDS.
