Corrective Action Plan:
The University has implemented significant process enhancements in this area. The policy manual will be revised
to include detailed procedures. Management will conduct a second-level review to ensure the University complies
with the requirements. Relief under the CARES Act expired at the end of the payment period, including the date of
May 11, 2023, per General-23-46. No further corrective action plan is needed for relief under the CARES Act. To
address issues of Title IV funds not being returned within the required time frame and incorrectly calculated
amounts of Title IV funds to be returned, Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (OSFA) has added a step to the
process that includes a quality control review of no less than 20 percent of a randomly selected sample of all
R2T4 reviews. In addition, OSFA has experienced technical limitations in the current custom-developed,
mainframe-based system relying on manual processes for R2T4 calculations. The University is replacing the
custom-developed, mainframe-based financial aid management system with a vendor-provided, cloud-based
system. This will reduce the reliance on manual calculation of returns with a vendor system to assist with R2T4
calculations. By implementing a more robust quality control process and replacing our current mainframe-based
financial aid system with a vendor-provided, cloud-based system, we will significantly enhance our R2T4 process
to ensure compliance with Title IV requirements.
Implementation Dates: Rolling system implementation from February 2024 through August 2024
