Student Financial Assistance Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the College evaluate the transfer students’ status each semester. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The student affected by this deficiency gave erroneous information about attendance at another college in the same year as their intent to begin at Dunwoody. The processor failed to follow protocol to check for a transcript in NSLDS. The student had only used some of their loan eligibility at the previous institution in the fall semester, so we returned $5,250 in direct loan funds for this student. The student correctly retained the remaining $4,250 for the spring semester at Dunwoody. The total over award was not $9,500 but $5,250. Going forward, the financial aid counselors will be vigilant to search out every student in NSLDS before issuing the student any additional funding. There is now a check and balance in place that will catch anything the financial aid counselor might miss. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Margaret Price, Director of Financial Aid Planned completion date for corrective action plan: This process is in place for the 2024-2025 academic year.

Student Financial Assistance Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend that the College correct there mistake and review the amount of days scheduled in each break for next fiscal year. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The finding was caused by incorrectly calculating the Spring Break dates in the academic calendar. The former Director of Financial Aid accounted for the weekdays of break (M-F=5 days) instead of the required full week plus shouldering weekend dates (9 calendar days) as it should have been entered. This erroneous entry was not noticed or caught in a self-audit process. We have completed a 100% file review of withdrawn students and updated the break calculation to correct the error for this year, and moving forward we will conduct two levels of review when entering calculation parameters to ensure accuracy of break calculation. We have updated the affected students’ R2T4 calculations and sent the fund updates to COD on September 20th. The corrective action taken by the current Director of Financial Aid is to ensure there are two extra reviewers added to each future parameter rollover to make sure all dates are accurate in our processing software, as well as a second review of each completed R2T4. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Margaret Price, Director of Financial Aid Planned completion date for corrective action plan: This new process is already in place for the 2024-2025 academic year.

Recommendation: We recommend the College evaluate its procedures and policies around reporting disbursements to COD to ensure that student information is reported accurately and timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Starting in 2025-26 the College is transitioning to a new ERP, a more robust software system, that will correct this issue. However, in the meantime, the financial aid office will not rely on our current software to automatically match COD Disbursement dates with student account posting dates. The financial aid and business offices will communicate to ensure posting to student accounts are done on the same day as aid is disbursed. In addition, the financial aid and business offices will add a new process to compare COD reports with current software reports on a regular basis to look for any discrepancies. Any discrepancies found will be manually corrected on a timely basis. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Eric Anderson, Director of Financial Aid Planned completion date for corrective action plan: June 30, 2025

Recommendation: We recommend the College reevaluate its procedures and review policies surrounding reporting status changes to NSLDS to put a process in place to ensure the student status changes are being reported timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The 2022-23 audit identified similar issues regarding NSLDS enrollment reporting. Following the 2022-23 audit, the College changed the submission dates to the NSC to allow more time for the NSC to timely report to the NSLDS. Upon further research following the 2023-24 audit, the College learned that this finding relates to manually reported graduates and withdrawn students. Graduates reported during the automated file submittal process were reported as graduating at end of term, while graduates reported manually were reported as graduating on the College’s actual commencement date (one day different than end of term). Going forward the Registrar will be consistent in reporting graduation dates using the end of term for all graduating students. As for the reporting of withdrawals, the Registrar will manually update the enrollment status and effective dates in NSLDS to ensure accurate and timely reporting in the 2024-25 fiscal year. Starting in 2025-26 the College is transitioning to a new ERP, a more robust software system, that will correct this issue. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Austin Nyhof, Registrar Planned completion date for corrective action plan: June 30, 2025

Finding Number: 2024-001 Condition: The Corporation withdrew a total of $44,190 from the replacement reserve account when only $22,095, representing the 50% deposit, was approved by HUD in advance of the withdrawal.

Student Financial Assistance Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the College reevaluate its procedures and review policies surrounding reporting status changes to NSLDS to put a process in place to ensure the enrollment effective date reported to NSLDS on the campus level is aligning with the College as well as the status changes are reported timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. The College utilizes a custom report for enrollment reporting to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), who then provides data to NSLDS. In recent years the custom report has required additional manual updates. Ellucian, who provides the Colleague system that the Office of the Registrar uses as their system of record, provides quarterly updates to the Colleague code. Each system update results in necessary review and insertion of the custom report into the Colleague process. The College’s Chief Information Officer has approved funding to contract with a NSC Specialist from Ellucian during Fall 2024 to review Grinnell’s enrollment reporting process and to determine what changes should be made within the Colleague system to make the enrollment reporting process less manual. This would improve the accuracy of reporting by eliminating the constant review and manual adjustments the current process requires. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Jason Luedtke, Senior ERP Specialist, Information Technology Services Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Spring 2025.
