This error was due to the fact that the professor did not notify that the student was missing. Instead, the student was graded as if she had completed the course.In order to prevent the recurrence of this error, the university has established the following procedure: 1. The dean of student affairs and the dean of academic affairs have provided faculty development seminars on the expectations of a faculty member to comply with federal regulations. Among the topics discussed is the importance of attendance recording and documentation. As well, faculty were required to refer to the Registrar?s and to the Dean of Admissions and Student Affairs Offices any student absent to two consecutive significant academic events. The purpose is: a. Early detection of a student that might be at risk of academic difficulties. b. Early awareness of a student that might be changing enrollment status. 2. To date four (4) attendance surveys have taken place (3/semester). The attendance surveys provide the opportunity to capture any students at risk of changes in enrollment status. As a consequence, student enrollment status may be recorded accurately and on time and as well funds are returned to the USDoE within the allowable period. 3. Periodic letters to the faculty from the Office of the Dean of Academic Affairs to highlight the importance of promptly referring any changes in student attendance to activate retention efforts or in order to identify and record accurately and on time any changes in student enrollment status.

An additional procedure was established since March 2023, incorporating a second checkpoint in the filling of the R2T4. After the filing, all dates required in the calculation of the withdrawal process (R2T4) will be reassured/validated by a different official at the Financial Aid Office other than the preparer. The reviewer will also initialize the R2T4 as evidence of the review and compliance with this new procedure. This system will help prevent human errors like this to occur again.

The identified instances were recorded before the university put in place the controls described below. In order to assure compliance with NSLDS reporting requirements, determinations of funds earned, and timing, beginning with academic year 2022-2023 (August-2022) the university is taking the following measures: 1. A MSSharePoint was created in collaboration among the Registrar?s, Financial Aid and Finance Offices staff to serve as an easy access documentation repository and to enhance communication. Information of changes in the enrollment status of any student is documented internally for discussion among the offices (Monthly Withdrawal Conciliation Report). 2. Monthly meetings with the Registrar?s, Financial Aid and Finance Offices staff takes place. Personnel from the Institutional Effectiveness Office, and the Offices of the Dean and the Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs will also attend to facilitate thediscussion. During these meetings the three offices reconcile data on student enrollment status (as documented in the MSSharePoint). This best practice assures that: a. Student enrollment status is recorded accurately and on time. b. Withdrawal cases in which transactions are required with the USDoE are documented early so that funds are returned within the allowable prescribed period. c. As an extra bonus, communication is improved among the Registrar?s, Financial Aid and Finance Offices staff. 3. The dean of student affairs and the dean of academic affairs have provided faculty development seminars on the expectations of a faculty member to comply with federal regulations. Among the topics discussed is the importance of attendance recording and documentation. As well, faculty were required to refer to the Registrar?s and to the Dean of Admissions and Student Affairs Offices any student absent totwo consecutive significant academic events. The purpose is: a. Early detection of a student that might be at risk of academic difficulties. b. Early awareness of a student that might be changing enrollment status. 4. To date four (4) attendance surveys have taken place (3/semester). The attendance surveys provide the opportunity to capture any students at risk of changes in enrollment status. As a consequence, student enrollment status may be recorded accurately and on time and as well funds are returned to the USDoE within the allowable period. 5. Periodic letter to the faculty from the Office of the Dean of Academic Affairs to highlight the importance to promptly refer any changes in student attendance to activate retention efforts or in order to identify and record accurately and on time any changes in student enrollment status. n addition to the above-mentioned procedures the following measures will be taken: 1. Late reporting of graduation dates in NSLDS and effective dates: a. Prior to graduation all academic program directors review the degrees to be conferred and certify candidates eligible for graduation b. The Registrar?s Office changes the status to graduate in the NSLDS Report after graduation date. c. To assure that all degrees are reported on time and accurately to the NSLDS system from now on, the Registrar?s Office, within ten days after graduation date, will process the changes in the NSLDS system. After the Registrar?s Office processes the changes in the NSLDS system, it will send to all program directors the list of all the students processed as graduated in the NSLDS system and they will be asked to double verify and attest accuracy of the lists of conferred degrees and asked to provide a certification within two days that the changes processed were accurate and that they agree with their record of students officially graduated during the last graduation date. This double certification of conferred degrees within the proposed time-frame will provide a second opportunity to add or delete any missing information within the NSLDS system increasing accuracy and timelines. d. A copy of the certification will be submitted to the Office of the Dean of Academic Affairs as evidence of the compliance with the new process established.
