NSLDS Enrollment Reporting
Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 84.268, 84.063, 84.007, 84.033
Auditors’ Recommendation: The University must review their enrollment reporting policies and procedures to ensure accurate reporting.
Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
Action taken in response to finding:
Point University uses National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) for the enrollment reporting process. The registrar’s office prepares a monthly enrollment change report which is sent to NSC. NSC processes the report and returns a file for any discrepancies and potential errors for the school to fix. The school reviews and makes any necessary updates and submits the report to NSC. NSC
updates the enrollment information at NSLDS. For graduated students, the school also submits a degree verification file at the end of each term after graduated status is assigned by the school. This file is separate from the enrollment reporting file. The school inquired as to why the updates were
not completed and found that updating enrollment status is not part of NSC’s process for the degree verification files. Moving forward, the registrar will submit a separate enrollment report file along with the degree verification to ensure that graduate status is updated at NSC and NSLDS after the school assigns them.
During the 2024-2025 school year, while the school was reviewing FVT/GE reporting that was due in January of 2025, the school was able to review enrollment data that had been reported to NSC for the 2023-24 school year and make corrections to that data. Moving forward, the enrollment data is
maintained in the new student information system and updated in real time by the registrar’s office prior to the enrollment reports being sent to NSC.
Of the 33 students reviewed for NSLDS enrollment status, five had errors. All five students were graduates whose status errors were related to data migration. All five were corrected during the school’s review of enrollment statuses while reviewing data for the FVT/GE reporting, which was done November 2025 through January 2025. Documentation of corrected enrollment statuses with the dates of the certification corrections is attached as Appendix 2024-002A.
Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Natalie Brown-Motes, Point University Registrar, natalie.brown@point.edu
Planned completion date for corrective action plan: FVT/GE status review is completed. School has process in place moving forward for updating graduated students beginning with Spring 2025 semester.
