Student Financial Assistance Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the University review its reporting procedures to ensure the students’ statuses are accurately and timely reported to NSLDS as required by regulations. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Concordia University is reporting to the National Student Clearinghouse every 30 days regarding enrollment reporting and reporting to Degree Verify within 30 days from the end of a part of the term. If a student is awarded or has a petition for a late withdrawal that will be outside of the 30 days, the Registrar’s Office will manually go into the National Student Clearinghouse and update the student records to accurately reflect enrollment. The Registrar's Office has built automated reports to assist in tracking the students who fall outside of normal reporting. In addition, the Registrar’s Office has implemented a new process to catch students who have incorrect anticipated graduation dates in the system, so students are pulling more accurately on the awarding list. The Registrar’s Office, after initial reporting will be reviewing all students who are between 95%-100% program completion via Degree Works. The Registrar’s Office is researching how to clean up data within Banner to assist with accurate graduation dates. The Registrar’s Office is in constant communication with the National Student Clearinghouse regarding reporting deadlines, and the National Student Clearinghouse has provided when the data was submitted to NSLDS which is within the regulated timeframe. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Registrar Lynn Lundquist Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Now in place and ongoing process

Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: As part of the 2022 Corrective Action Plan submitted in March 2023, a report was built to pull all withdrawals for the semester and broken down by module enrollment.

Financial Aid Counselors also review an Enrollment Change report daily and notify the Assistant Director and Director of Financial Aid of possible R2T4 calculations. Additionally, the Financial Aid Office is copied on all General Petition and University Withdrawal notifications to review for possible R2T4 requirements. The Loan Specialist, Assistant Director, and Director of Financial Aid have all passed the NASFAA U R2T4 course and hold the R2T4 Credential. The Director of Financial Aid also received the R2T4 Specialist designation from NASFAA. The 14 students found to be processed past the 45 days and the 5 students to have additional funds sent back, all R2T4s were processed prior to the 2022 Audit and Corrective Action Plan was put into place.

Finding 2023-002 – U.S. Department of Education (USDE), Title IV Student Financial Aid Programs (significant deficiencies): (Continued) (d) The University did not timely submit their Title IV reconciliations for testing. The University did not routinely reconcile Title IV funds throughout the year between the business and SFA offices. SFA Handbook Chapter 5 CFR 668.161 through 668.176. (e) The Fiscal Operations Report and Application to Participate (FISAP) was not tested because of corrections required by the U.S. Department of Education that are still under review. 34 CFR 674.19, 675.19, 676.19. Auditor’s Recommendation – The University should implement corrective actions to ensure that the above findings are resolved and will not recur in future periods. Corrective Action – (a) The Business Office will generate credit balance invoices from Jenzabar weekly to review all credit balances and ensure refunds are issued within the required 14 days per HEA regulations. (b) Financial staff will update the COA worksheet that will be available once the Board has decided on the costs for each fiscal year. This will allow information to be readily available upon the auditor's request. (c) Management has hired a new Director of Financial Aid and has employed additional assistance to help facilitate the monthly reconciliation process. Monthly recon-ciliations will be completed and the Office of Financial Aid and the Business Office will meet monthly to review reconciliations and any possible variances. (d) The institution submitted a change request on February 14, 2024. Upon approval of the change request, the FISAP was resubmitted on February 20, 2024. Per the conversation with COD, the submission is waiting for approval and is currently being processed. Once the changes are approved, the final document will be submitted.

On November 21, 2023, email notifications were sent to undergraduate and graduate students who applied for financial aid for the 2023/2024 academic year. We informed them of the requirement and asked them to complete a consent form. As of March 2024, we have received a 97% response rate. For those who did not respond (and those who declined electronic notifications), paper notifications were sent. Beginning with the 2025-2026 aid year, the process for receiving consent from students will be incorporated into the admission application as a separate question for undergraduate and graduate students.
