Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. During our review of the submitted quarterly reports, we noted there were errors in the amounts reported. As a result, the College's quarterly ADN-to-BSN reports were prepared incorrectly and were not corrected until the mistakes were identified by the auditors. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the College implement a reconciliation and review process over the preparation and reporting of the ADN-to-BSN quarterly reports to ensure proper and accurate reporting. Corrective Action. The College has performed the necessary steps to correct the error and will correct the amounts reported in the next quarterly report. Additionally, the reporting process will include a reconciliation of the expenses and an additional level of review. Responsible Person. Chad Lashua, Vice President of Business Services.

Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. During our review of the Fiscal Operations Report and Application to Participate (FISAP), we noted there were errors in the amounts reported. As a result, the College's FISAP was prepared incorrectly and had to be resubmitted to the Department of Federal Student Aid. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the College implement a secondary review process over the preparation and reporting of the FISAP to ensure proper and accurate reporting. Corrective Action. The College has performed the necessary steps to correct the error and will amend the reporting process to ensure that a second individual is reviewing the work performed. Responsible Person.

Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. This condition was caused by a lack of detailed review of the Return to Title IV calculation and days used in the Spring 2024 semester. As a result, four students' Return to Title IV calculations were performed using incorrect start dates for the 2024 Spring semester resulting in an understatement in $84 of Pell awards to the students. The College corrected this issue with the Department of Education on July 30, 2024. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the College implement a review process to ensure the number of days used in the Return to Title IV calculation is accurate and that the Return to Title IV calculation is being reviewed by a second individual. Corrective Action. The College has performed the necessary steps to correct the error and will develop a process to ensure that a second individual is reviewing the work performed. Responsible Person. Maryann DeCaire, Director of Financial Aid. Anticipated Completion Date. April 30, 2025.

Condition: The College did not timely and accurately complete refund calculations in the Spring. In review of the Spring 2024 calculations the scheduled end date did not consider finals week, resulting in the incorrect days in all Spring 2024 return of Title IV funds calculations. As a result of the incorrect number of days, the amounts of Title IV amounts returned for all withdrawn students were incorrectly calculated for 2 out of the population of 5 (40%) Spring withdrawal calculations as two students had attended over 60% of the semester for both the original and updated calculations and as such, no return was required. A sample of two Fall withdrawal calculations identified one error (50%) due to incorrect inputs for awards that were disbursed and those that could have been disbursed. We consider this finding to be a significant deficiency in relation to Special Tests and Provisions compliance requirement and is a repeat finding shown in Section IV of this report as prior year finding 2023-005. Statistical sampling was not used in making sample selections. Corrective Action Plan: This repeated finding was due to our previously delayed audits. We implemented the plan below on 09/10/2024 after the 2023-05 finding, however, the 2023-24 school year had already completed. This meant we were unable to make changes in the year as it had already concluded, and we implemented the corrective action plan for the 2024-25 school year. 2023-005 Corrective Action Plan: Corrective Action Plan: The Registrar’s Office will review the school calendar in Common Origination and Disbursement Web Site before the financial aid office begins processing R2T4’s for the school year. Responsible Person for Correction Action Plan: Hannah Masters (Executive Director of Financial Aid and Student Accounts) and Chayna Penney (Registrar) Implementation Date for Corrective Action Plan: 09/10/2024 Responsible Person for Correction Action Plan: Hannah Masters Implementation Date for Corrective Action Plan: 01/30/2025

Condition: During our testing of thirty-seven student files, we noted ten individuals (27%) that were not properly awarded Direct Loans. Corrective Action Plan: During the month of October 2024, a financial aid consultant met with Cottey staff to discuss and plan better procedures related to awarding and reviewing Federal Loans. Throughout the 2024-25 school year, we have implemented quarterly internal audits where students are randomly selected and processed through an internal review of their federal awards. Through this new process, we are reviewing loan eligibility, disbursement dates, and documentation for each student. By completing this process quarterly, we will be able to do an additional review of each student in detail while the school year is still in session and corrections can be made.

U.S. Department of Education, Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing # 84.033, 84.063, 84.007, 84.268 – Enrollment Reporting (Significant Deficiency). Condition: The University did not report student enrollment data to the National Student Clearinghouse within the minimum required timeframe. Criteria: Based on requirements set forth by 34 CFR Section 685.309(b)(2), the University is responsible for notifying the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) of changes to student’s enrollment data within minimum required timeframes. Cause: Controls are not functioning properly. Effect: Enrollment data was not reported timely or accurately to the Department of Education thus, the Department could not properly service the student’s loans. The accuracy of Title IV student loan records depends heavily on the accuracy of the enrollment information reported by institutions. Context: From a population of 129 students that withdrew officially or unofficially during a term, we tested 12 students and noted that the withdrawal date was incorrectly reported as the last day of the term for four students and was not reported for one student. In addition, the R2T4 calculation was prepared untimely for four students that required a calculation, as noted in finding 2024-004, and thus the withdrawal dates were reported untimely. Repeat Finding from Prior Year: Not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that a review process be put in place to ensure timely and accurate enrollment reporting to NSLDS. Corrective Actions: The policy to be developed regarding student withdrawals and R2T4 calculations will specify that students’ withdrawal dates are to be defined as the last date of academic attendance. The policy also will stipulate that, in accordance with National Student Clearinghouse requirements, Bluefield University will submit accurate student enrollment data throughout the academic year.

U.S. Department of Education, Student Financial Aid Cluster – Assistance Listing # 84.033, 84.063, 84.007, 84.268 – Return of Title IV Funds (Significant Deficiency) Condition: The University failed to return Title VI funds to the Department of Education within 45 days of student’s date of determination. Criteria: Return of Title IV funds are required to be deposited or transferred into the SFA account or electronic fund transfers initiated to the Department of Education as soon as possible, but no later than 45 days after the date the institution determines that the student withdrew in accordance with 34 CFR Section 668.173(b). Cause: Controls are not functioning properly. Effect: Funds were not timely returned to students or federal agencies as required. Context: From a population of 129 students that withdrew officially or unofficially during a term, we tested 12 students and noted that the R2T4 calculations were required for nine students. Of the nine students, R2T4 calculations were prepared untimely for six students, resulting in a late return of Title IV funds. Repeat Finding from Prior Year: Not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend procedures are put in place to ensure R2T4 calculations are performed timely following the University’s date of determination. Corrective Actions: In February 2025, Bluefield University leadership will work with the combined staff of the University’s Bluefield Central one-stop administrative office to develop and document a policy to ensure that communication from the registrar’s office regarding a student’s official or unofficial withdrawal occurs within 15 days of the student’s withdrawal. The policy also will stipulate that the financial aid staff of Bluefield Central will complete R2T4 calculations within 30 days of the student’s withdrawal, and the University’s business office will return Title IV funds to the Department of Education within 40 days of a student’s withdrawal.

Description of Finding: From the testing sample 3 instances were found where student financial aid was incorrectly packaged. All 3 were under awarded loans and or Pell Grants. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: Management agrees that in each of the 3 cases, aid was not packaged correctly. Corrective Action: The staff in the financial assistance office has seen a large turnover over the past year. Training continues for those new to packaging. A Pell Report has been developed to automatically identify Pell awards based on the new SAI process.

Description of Finding: From the testing sample, six instances were found where credit balances from Title IV balances were not properly refunded to students based on the disbursement dates. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: With staff turnover, offices were incurring a longer time to balance COD approved disbursements to actual disbursements to student accounts. Once the loan disbursements were balanced and confirmed to students, the loan refunds were immediately released to students. CMU is aware of, and normally follows the 14 day policy, but it was determined to hold loan refunds until the loans posted to CMU accounts were correct with COD to avoid incorrect disbursements. Corrective Action: The office of Financial Assistance has identified balancing COD disbursements and internal loan disbursement as a mandatory priority each week. A macro report has been developed to help identify differences with COD and allow corrections and COD draws in a timely fashion.

Criteria, Condition, Cause: We concur that our timely reporting of academically dismissed students during the non-required summer term is an issue and will be vigilant to prevent this delayed reporting in the fun1re. It should be noted that this small cohort was all deemed ineligible to return for the upcoming semester on the same day, and so that singular days' enrollment status changes were the only updates that were untimely in the submission to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). We will be modifying and monitoring our process to accurately capture and report to the NSLDS sh1dents determined to be ineligible to return in the fall semester even during a tenn of non-required enrollment. Effect, Questioned costs, Context: Enrollment rosters and updated enrollment statuses are reported regularly with NSLDS to ensure current enrollment status that can impact loan repayment dates and in-school deferments are accurately on record with the Department of Education. For the summer enrollment roster, although Allegheny's summer term is a non-required tern1, students that are not enrolled in the summer tern1, but Allegheny is aware that they will not be enrolled in the upcoming required fall tem1 must be reported as withdrawn through the summer enrollment roster. Recommendation The College will continue to confom1 to the NSLDS reporting process and timeline, and with the collaboration of the Financial Aid's, Registrar's, and Provost's Offices, will fully bring the non-required term enrollment reporting into alignment. For the next non-required summer tern1 enrollment report in 2025, Allegheny will be incorporating the shtdents determined to be academically dismissed from the spring tenn on the initial summer enrollment roster with the updated withdrawn stah1s. The initial summer enrollment roster will be submitted within 60 days.

Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. The College does not have a negotiated rate, however, they used a rate other than the de minimis rate of 10% in their calculation of indirect costs. The College also did not use the modified total direct costs “MTDC” for purposes of this calculation, but instead used the budgeted indirect cost total for the program. As a result of this condition, the College over-charged the grant by $21,765 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the College implement a review process to ensure that the indirect costs charged to the grant are in accordance with the grant award letter. Corrective Action. The College will implement a review process to ensure that the indirect costs charged to the grant are in accordance with the grant award letter. Responsible Persons.
