Finding 2025-003 – Special Test and Provisions – Enrollment Reporting: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and Instance of Noncompliance (See table in Management's Corrective Action Plan"). Condition/Context – Out of a population of approximately 1,000 student status changes and 230 permanent address changes, a sample of 74 federal aid recipient students were selected from system generated reports of students who graduated, reported a physical address change, withdrew, or dropped during the 2024-2025 academic year. Auditors believe this to be a representative sample although not a statistical sample. The enrollment information and withdrawal, address change, or graduation date per the University’s records was compared to the information reported to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) in order to determine if status changes were reported within the required timeframes. Corrective Action Plan: The finding has been addressed through staffing changes and scheduled reporting which took effect January 2026. The office of the University Registrar did not previously have a dedicated staff member to submit reports in a timely manner. With the departure of the Associate Registrar in April 2025, the task fell to several staff members to share the responsibility along with their other tasks. The office currently has an assistant registrar as well as a transcript evaluator who share the responsibility and submit reports once every 30 days, with the exception of winter reporting, which is on a different schedule due to breaks. Internal controls have been revised to check conferral dates prior to submitting the enrollment report for the Main Campus. Name of Contact Person: Julie Khella, University Registrar at jkhella@laverne.edu Projected Completion Date: This was corrected as of March 22, 2026

FINDING 2025-002 – Special Tests and Provisions – Cash Management: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance (See table in "Management's Corrective Action Plan"). Condition/Context – The University made 48 draws for various student financial assistance cluster programs. Auditors selected a sample of 7 and believe this to be a representative sample; however, it was not a statistical sample; Corrective Action Plan: This was done due to the perceived understanding that the new Federal Administration indicated that all grants were at risk of being cancelled and that the G5 website would go dark. Due to the unique nature of the Federal Administration’s perceived announcement, the University would not handle this in the same manner, in the future. If for some reason they were to cancel any future grants, the University would endure the cancellation and close out the grant in the usual process, which is by reimbursement only. Name of Contact Person: Lori Gordien Case, Associate Vice President of Finance and Controller at lgordien@laverne.edu Projected Completion Date: This was corrected as of March 31, 2025.

FINDING 2025-001 – Special Tests and Provisions – Return of Title IV Funds: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance; (See table in "Management's Corrective Action Plan"); Condition/Context – Auditors selected a sample of 20 students out of a population of 109 that were identified by the University as having received some federal assistance and withdrew from the University during the year under audit. Auditors believed this to be a representative sample of the population; however, it was not a statistical sample. Corrective Action Plan: The finding has been addressed through the implementation of our FY2024 Corrective Action Plan. The Office of Financial Aid has collaborated with the University Registrar to develop a comprehensive report identifying non-completed courses inclusive of all grade codes. This report is reviewed on the day following faculty submission of final grades for both semester and modular terms. Students subject to R2T4 processing are identified by the Associate Director of Compliance & Special Programs and subsequently assigned to a team of three Program Managers for COD processing. Timely review of this report ensures that all required funds are returned within the 45-day regulatory timeframe. Internal controls have been revised to include a secondary review of all processed R2T4’s. Additionally, an internal control document will be established to demonstrate that R2T4 calculations were reviewed for accuracy and completeness.

A review process to confirm compliance was implemented in the fall 2025 semester. An Assistant Director in the Office of Student Financial Aid is responsible for performing audits of our internal files to confirm that the NSLDS reviews are documented. The Assistant Director also provides remediation to any team member whose records are not in compliance. The University has already repaid the over-award amount.

In response to the audit recommendation, an Assistant Director in the Office of Student Financial Aid has been assigned to regularly review automated reports that identify students whose data in the ECU, NSC, and NSLDS databases doesn’t match. (This task was not completed during the audit period due to position vacancies.) When a student is identified on the error report, the Assistant Director reviews the data in ECU’s student system and the NSLDS to determine the differences and the root cause of the problem. The Financial Aid Office and/or Registrar Office then takes corrective action to ensure the NSLDS record and ECU’s record matches. Corrective action was completed on: October 1, 2025.

Student Financial Assistance Cluster – 84.063 Recommendation: We recommend that a review is implemented which compares enrolled credits to Pell award to ensure all Pell funds are awarded at proper amounts. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: Upon notification of the finding, a query was developed and a review performed to identify potentially impacted records in advance of the 2025-2026 academic year. The University has also added review mechanisms to its semester-based enrollment adjustment and repackaging process designed to identify Enrollment Intensity (EI) coding changes, either by batch or manual processes. These review mechanisms allowed for the increased monitoring and correction of potentially incorrect EI coding that would ultimately increase the likelihood of an incorrect Pell Grant amount. A formal bi-weekly query and review process has recently been implemented that compares the student’s total enrollment for a term with the coded EI, confirming accuracy of the EI percentage. The query process also checks that the posted Pell award is the correct amount based on the EI percentage.

Finding 2025-001 Condition During our audit, for 1 out of 25 students selected for testing, the College did not report to the National Student Clearninghouse (NSC) and the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) within 30 days or included in a response to a roster file within 60 days. However, the student was ultimately reported to the NSC and NSLDS. Corrective Action Plan The graduation status of the student was not reported to NSC and NSLDS in a timely manner. The student qualified as a May 2025 graduate. However, at the point in time at which May graduates were reported to NSC, the final transcripts for the off-campus credits the student used to complete his degree had not yet been received. As a result, his degree was not conferred in the student information system until after the degree upload was sent to NSC. Then, by human error, once the student’s transcripts were received, his graduation status was not manually reported to NSC until after the 60-day reporting period had passed. To prevent this situation from arising in the future, we have changed the way we track students whose degree conferrals are entered into the SIS after the date on which the graduates upload has been sent to NSC. This process change will highlight those students whose conferrals must be manually reported to NSC because they were not included in the initial upload of graduates sent to NSC. We will also require students sending transcripts for credits taken off campus to have those transcripts received by our office within 30 days of the conferral date. If transcripts containing credits necessary for graduation are received more than 30 days after the conferral date, the student’s degree conferral will be pushed back to the next available degree conferral data.
