Condition: The University is not following its Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy. There was one error identified that attributed to this noncompliance. 1) Of the 25 students tested, there was 1 student who had fallen below the threshold of 67% per CMU's SAP at the time academic progress would be measured and the SAP policy was not followed to address student progress. Planned Corrective Action: A policy update to the quantitative component of satisfactory academic progress was implemented to measure SAP based on cumulative data. The full policy, informational website, student communications, and financial aid system were all updated. This policy update is effective for the 2023-24 academic year with the first official evaluation point assessing cumulative data at the end of fall 2023.

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. Names of the contact persons responsible for corrective action: Gwenn Sherburne, Registrar Planned completion date for corrective action plan: By first reporting date for 2023-2024 academic year in early September 2023.

Finding Number: 2023-002 Program Name/Assistance Listing Title: Education Stabilization Fund Assistance Listing Number: 84.425 Contact Person: Priscine Jones, Business Manager Anticipated Completion Date: The Business Manager will work with the Federal Programs Director to ensure that categories of expenses are correctly reported on the next ESSER reporting cycle. The Business Manager will work with the Federal Programs Director effective immediately January 18, 2024 to obtain correct funding codes in writing. Planned Corrective Action: The Business Manager and Federal Programs Director worked with ADE ESSER grants program staff, and the Arizona Auditor General’s office on ESSER and COVID Reporting. When we completed the initial ESSER reports, we did not understand from guidance that we were supposed to match the categories of expenditures we were reporting to the Accounts Payable Expense reports used for reimbursement requests. We had been reporting based on actual expenditures to date, not the snapshots for the given window of time represented by the Accounts Payable Expense reports used for reimbursement requests. For the most recent reporting cycle, we did gain a clear understanding of the expectations for these reports we are supposed to match to. We do carefully monitor expenditures to ensure that they are aligned to our grant and allowable uses for our ESSER funds. Now that we understand which reports we have to match to, we will be able to match the categories of expenditures to the Accounts Payable Expense reports accurately. Currently, The District has expended ESSER I and II completely. We only have ESSER III to report on which will simplify the ESSER reporting requirements to the Arizona Department of Education. In regard to ESSER I & II salary and benefits expenditures, the District had retention stipends written into both ESSER II and III for specified years and recruitment stipends written only in ESSER III. A misunderstanding caused a payment to be posted to the wrong grant. Upon discovery and to process the correction, the District executed a journal entry to assign the expense to the right grant. In the meantime, we had already processed a reimbursement request for the original and erroneously posted expense. This caused the financial reports to appear as if the expense occurred twice; once in F336 and once in F346 in the future, the Business Manager will get a written approval from the Federal Programs Director on which funds were approved for Recruitment and Retention payments and for specified years.

Planned Corrective Action: The District had started a corrective action plan in 2023 with the current construction vendor. In the past, the District would receive the payroll certifications by email. This method didn’t meet the requirements of the weekly payroll certifications. Therefore, the vendor moved forward to set-up links by project with vendor folders in the links. This was not well organized so, the District had to manually go through each folder to find updated payroll certifications. This method still didn’t meet the requirements of the weekly payroll certifications. As of January 18, 2024, the District has communicated in writing to the vendor about the organizational structure of the links and recommended a modification of folders from vendor to weeks. This request seems feasible since not all subcontractors will be on site through the duration of the project. This reorganization should be completed by February 29, 2024. In addition, the vendor was informed they need to ensure their subcontractors turn in their payroll certifications weekly.

Out of the 2,682 self-pay encounters, 20 were identified for further review. Two self-pay accounts were identified with issues which resulted in this finding. The first issue was attributed to a patient inaccurately placed on a slide level, and the other patient account did not have an updated sliding fee scale application completed on file. This issue has been resolved as of November 2023 by reviewing all sliding fee scale applications for accuracy. The Organization will continue to monitor the sliding fee scale amounts applied to ensure ongoing compliance with the requirements. The Organization will review five sliding fee scale applications each week to ensure eligibility determination, billing and collection follows the Sliding Fee Discount Program. This will go through May 2024 with a reassessment at that point, based on the results of the internal review.

Finding 2023-001 Enrollment Reporting: Contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Stephanny Elias, Associate Vice President of Financial Aid Robert Loconto, Director of Financial Aid June Koukol, Registrar Anticipated completion date:February 2024 Context and Corrective Action: In the final Spring 2023 enrollment certification to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), 11 students were identified not having been reported as graduated to NSC. Six of these students were brought to the attention of the Registrar’s Office by the Auditors in December 2023/January 2024. An internal review by the Registrar on January 22, 2024 revealed five additional students. The separate DegreeVerify transmission, which serves as a backup process and updates the graduation status for any student who did not get coded as such via the NSC enrollment transmission, also did not generate a graduated status for these students. The Registrar’s Office has concluded that this is the result of an error within the SOPLCCV Banner process when it was run for these students. This process is run during degree conferral and aligns curriculum information between the student’s academic record and the degree conferral record. The SOPLCCV process didn’t produce the intended result for the impacted students, and their degree records in Banner were manually updated to correct discrepancies that would normally be updated via the process. Unbeknownst at the time was that the initial discrepancy and subsequent manual update impacted the reporting of the degree conferral to NSC in the relevant transmission, due to a data mismatch between NSC’s curriculum information and the degree conferral information. The December 2023 degree conferral has since taken place, and the Registrar’s Office confirmed that the SOPLCCV process worked properly for all December graduates. The Registrar’s Office also manually checked each December graduate in NSC on January 22, 2024 and confirmed that all 56 December graduates with Fall 2023 enrollment were reported appropriately to NSC as graduated in the December degree transmission. The Registrar’s Office is consulting with Curry College ITS to develop a report to consolidate and display data from the text files generated via the Banner NSC transmission into a readable Excel format, to easily check and identify graduates and how they are being reported to NSC in the transmission. In the interim, the Registrar’s Office will continue to manually check each graduate in the NSC degree file to confirm that degree conferral is reported appropriately to NSC. This review will take place within two weeks of degree conferral, after the degree transmission has been processed by NSC.
