The University concurs with this finding. To ensure that we have proper controls in place to monitor the total amounts paid to student trainees on the grant, we are adjusting the process associated with funds disbursement to student trainees. Going forward, an analysis will be prepared for each proposed position to determine whether, consistent with applicable laws, the position may be paid as a stipend or via other payment rather than as an hourly employee, alleviating the need for reporting hours and easing the transition after the student graduates. In addition, staff in the Provost's office and in Finance will provide additional monitoring of grant costs as needed to ensure compliance. Valerie Hardcastle, Vice President and Exec Director, Inst. Health Innovation. To be completed by March 31, 2024.

The Office of the Registrar recognizes the importance of both timely and accurate reporting of enrollment status changes for lenders and servicers of student loans to determine in-school status, deferments, grace periods, and repayment schedules, as well as the federal government’s payment of interest subsidies. Through our own data reporting and, in conjunction with the NSC, we are working to identify the affected students to correct their enrollment record statuses to graduated. We expect to make these corrections no later than January 12, 2024. Individuals with reporting responsibilities will engage in training through the NSC. An office audit will be conducted to assess areas for improvement. These actions will be completed by March 1, 2024. The College recently instituted additional conferral dates where graduated students will be submitted to NSC as batch files, thereby, substantially lessening the need to report as individual online updates.

2023-001 – Pell Grant Calculation. Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. The Uniform Guidance states that the College must determine the maximum scheduled award a student would receive based on their Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and Cost of Attendance (COA) using the payment schedule provided by the U.S. Department of Education. Students must be awarded on the basis of a COA comprised of allowable costs assessed to all students carrying the same academic workload. COA must be prorated for students who are attending less than an academic year, or who are less than full-time in a term-based program. As a result of this condition, the College was exposed to an increased risk that incorrect information would be used to determine students' Pell Grant award amounts. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend the College implement procedures to ensure the COA and EFC used to calculate each student's Pell Grant is updated for each academic year and reviewed by an independent official. Corrective Action. In the spring of each year, the College Financial Aid Department will establish the Cost of Attendance (COA) necessary for Pell student eligibility, in addition to the Educational Financial Contribution (EFC) for the following fiscal year. Once these are calculated and established, the head of the Business Office will review the calculations, discuss, and approve. Once they have been approved, the appropriate information will be entered into the Financial Aid software system. Responsible Party. Director of Financial Aid and Head of the Business Office. Anticipated Completion Date. June 30, 2024.
