Special Tests and Provisions Questioned Costs: N/A Repeat Finding: No Condition/Context: During our review of the District’s information security policies and procedures, it was noted that the District did not have formally written information security policies and procedures. The District did not have a process to evaluate and maintain a data inventory, ensuring sensitive data is at a higher risk profile and prioritized for security protocols. The District did not limit administrative privileges to dedicated administrator accounts; instead system administrators utilized their administrative accounts for all their job function, rather than just the functions requiring higher levels of access. Criteria: Title IV-eligible institutions are subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the ‘‘Act’’). The Act requires financial institutions to explain their information sharing practices to their customers and to safeguard sensitive data. The Federal Trade Commission considers Title IV-eligible institutions that participate in Title IV Educational Assistance Programs as ‘‘financial institutions’’ and subject to the Act because they appear to be significantly engaged in wiring funds to consumers. Institutions agree to comply with the Act in their Program Participation Agreement with ED. Institutions must protect student financial aid information, with particular attention to information provided to institutions by ED or otherwise obtained in support of the administration of the Federal student financial aid programs. Institutions are required to develop, implement and maintain a written comprehensive information security program. Corrective Action: The District will implement policies and procedures over information technology to properly comply with the provision of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The District will prepare a security policy that addresses data classifications that ensure sensitive data is protected. In addition, administrator accounts will be restricted.

Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend that the University review their awarding procedures and implement procedures to ensure the Stafford loans are awarded within the annual and aggregate limits. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: At the time the Subsidized Direct Loan was initially awarded, the student was classified as grade level one and was correctly awarded $3,500. Subsequently, the student’s grade level increased; however, the Direct Loan award was not adjusted accordingly. The Office of Financial Aid relies on email notifications to identify students with grade-level changes, and the notification for this student was inadvertently missed. In response to this error, the Office of Financial Aid implemented additional monitoring controls. A report was developed to identify all students with changes in grade level and is now generated and provided weekly by the Office of the Registrar to the Office of Financial Aid. A designated Financial Aid Advisor has been assigned responsibility for reviewing this report and adjusting Direct Loan awards as necessary to ensure accuracy. As an additional preventative measure, the Director of Financial Aid will verify student grade level and corresponding Direct Loan eligibility prior to disbursement. The Office of Financial Aid will also conduct periodic reviews to confirm that Direct Loan awards consistently and accurately align with students’ grade levels.

Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend that the University implement a formal review process as it relates to withdrawn students to ensure R2T4 calculations are being performed accurately and timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The withdrawal dates applied in the Return to Title IV (R2T4) calculations were based on the dates students were administratively withdrawn by the Office of the Registrar. Upon identification of the audit finding, the Office of Financial Aid conducted a comprehensive review of the affected R2T4 calculations and made the necessary corrections. Any balances resulting from these errors were subsequently written off. Additionally, the Director of Financial Aid completed a full file review for the applicable award year to assess the accurate inclusion of scheduled break days. During this review, two additional students were identified whose R2T4 calculations did not include the appropriate number of break days. The calculations for these students were corrected, and the resulting balances were written off. No further errors were identified. As part of the corrective action, the Office of Financial Aid has hired an additional Financial Aid Advisor dedicated to the review and completion of R2T4 calculations. Furthermore, the Director of Financial Aid has implemented a secondary review process for all completed R2T4 calculations to ensure accuracy and compliance. The Office of Financial Aid has also reviewed the Financial Aid Handbook and applicable Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) related to R2T4 calculations to reinforce adherence to regulatory requirements.

Corrective Action Plan Finding Number: 2025-002 – Return of Title IV Funds Controls Finding: There is no evidence of a control in place by the College to review Return of Title IV Fund calculations. Corrective Action Planned Given the size of the Financial Aid Office, the College will implement compensating internal controls to ensure R2T4 calculations are accurate, timely, and compliant with federal regulations. Effective immediately, the College will implement the following controls: 1. Standardized R2T4 Processing All R2T4 calculations will be performed using the Department of Education Common Origination & Disbursement (COD) system to ensure consistent application of federal formulas. Official withdrawal dates will be confirmed using Registrar records prior to calculation. 2. Independent Post-Calculation Review Each R2T4 calculation will be reviewed by an individual other than the preparer, where feasible, or through supervisory review when staffing is limited. The review will confirm the accuracy of withdrawal dates, days attended, calculation inputs, and Title IV funds included. 3. Coordination and Reconciliation The Office of Financial Aid will coordinate with Student Accounts to ensure R2T4 results are applied correctly to the student account and that returned funds are processed within required timelines. 4. Documentation and Retention Evidence of review, including reviewer initials and date, will be retained for each R2T4 calculation. A simple R2T4 review checklist or log will be maintained. 5. Ongoing Oversight The Director of Financial Aid will conduct periodic spot checks to ensure R2T4 calculations and reviews are completed accurately and timely. Responsible Official: De Rodrick Jonkins, Director of Financial Aid Anticipated Completion Date: Implemented effective August 1, 2025 Additional Context The Director of Financial Aid assumed the role effective April 1, 2025, after prior corrective actions had been identified. While formal independent review controls were not documented during the audit period, there were no identified R2T4 compliance issues, late returns, or calculation errors. The corrective actions above are intended to formalize review processes and further reduce compliance risk.
