Department of Education 2023-002 Student Financial Assistance – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the University 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 auditfinding. Action taken in response to finding: Auditors identified five students where the change in enrollment status was not reported in a timely manner. It was noted that we identified the status changes while there was a cybersecurity breach within the file transfer system used by the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), our third-party servicer. As a result, our reporting was delayed. We received notice of the incident from the NSC on June 16, 2023. Our next planned transmission was scheduled for June 28. We postponed our regular reporting schedule for one week while we reset our secure FTP password with NSC, initialized our account in their updated system, and while our ITS security officer evaluated the risk. We ended up submitting the file to the NSC on July 5. As a result of this incident, we remain vigilant for external factors that may impact our reporting schedule. We will address them as quickly as possible to avoid reporting delays.
