Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be written and additional training should be understanding of the institution?s date of determination of a student?s withdrawal. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective action: New staff continue to be trained and are learning the rules and regulations with Title IV Funding. We have also added this to a R2T4 checklist staff use to ensure there are no more errors when reporting the date of the school?s determination on the R2T4. If the Oversight Agency for Audit has questions regarding this plan, please call Leanna Doherty, Vice President of Finance and Operations, at (620) 820-1231.

Responsible Individuals: Lori Herrick, CPA, CFE - Associate Vice President of Finance Dr. Eric Gumm - Registrar and Director of the First-Year Program and Academic Development Center Finding 2022-001 Federal Agency Name: U.S. Department of Education Program Name: Student Financial Assistance Cluster CFDA #84.063, 84.268 Finding Summary: In accordance with 34 CFR sections 690.93(b)(2), 682.610, and 685.309(i), Federal Regulations state that institutions are required to report enrollment information. Out of a sample size of 25 students, there were 19 students identified as not having an incorrect Program Enrollment Effective Date and 3 students in which the update for enrollment status was not timely. Corrective Action Plan (CAP): ACU has identified the source and cause of the variance in the program enrollment effective date. The variance is due to the time stamp associated with certain actions within the Banner reporting system. Immediate implementation of system process to change the time status upon the appropriate enrollment change has corrected this error and the timely reporting of status changes. Anticipated Completion Date: The updated procedure was implemented by the beginning of Fall 2022. Responsible Parties: Dr. Eric Gumm is the responsible party as the University Registrar. He will oversee the execution of the corrective action plan. J Rodriquez is the Assistant Registrar and the responsible part for the implementation and execution of the corrective action plan.

Return of Title IV (R2T4) Calculations Planned Corrective Action: Our process for identifying unofficial withdrawals has been to nm a report through our Workday software to identify students who had unearned credits in a semester at the conclusion of that semester, after the grade due date. We would then reach out to the individual professors of the courses to determine if each student completed the semester or if they had unearned credits because they ceased attending at some point during the semester. If they ceased attending, we would determine if a Return of Title IV (R2T4) Calculation was needed and would complete it if necessary. In preparing for the Al 33 audit, the auditor requested: "If you have online or modular students, please provide a list of students who earned 0 credits or no showed in at least one of the online classes or modules from the registrar." While pulling together the list of students to send to the auditors, we determined that the repo11 we were using to identify unofficial withdrawals did not include students who had No Credit (NC) grades or Incomplete (I) grades. It was only pulling Failed (F) grades. In addition, the report only included students who had received F grades in all the courses for the semester; it did not include students who received 0 credits in one of the modules. The report was corrected and should enable PLNU to identify all the students who need to be reviewed going forward. In addition, we have added to our process instructions to run this report after the grades for module I are due, and after the grades for module 2 are due, rather than at the end of each semester. This will ensure that we catch any unofficial withdrawals in a timelier manner and will allow us to meet the 45-day deadline for any possible returns that must be made.
