Corrective Action Plan - Finding: 2022-001: Special Tests and Provisions - Enrollment Reporting - Significant Deficiency in Internal Controls over Compliance. Corrective Action Plan: The University uses Microsoft Forms reporting to notify service units of withdrawals. The Dean (or designee) of each program must manually update the Microsoft Office report of a withdrawal ad indicate the effective date, which triggers automated emails to the appropriate units. In the one instance of late reporting, the student was required to withdraw due to a no pass of a class, but he was allowed to complete a clinical/experiential course before being withdrawn. The Dean failed to enter the student's information after the student completed the clinical/experiential course, causing the delay in reporting. The Dean has since begun using reminders on his calendar to withdraw students in this situation. In addition, our Director of Institutional Assessment is in the process of developing and programming logic in the Micrsoft Forms report that allows the Dean to enter a future withdrawal date but delays the reporting of the withdrawal to the service units until that date, allowing the Dean to enter the information into the form immediately after a no pass that requires withdrawal. This will prevent the need to manual reminders to enter the date and prevent late withdrawal notifications. Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Sally Mickelson, Director of Financial Aid. Anticipated Completion Date: December 31, 2022.

Management's View: The College's term calendar did not properly reflect all semester breaks and holidays resulting in improper return calculations. Moving forward , the College will include all semester breaks and holidays in the calculation. Further, administrative withdrawal procedures were not concise which caused discrepancies in student registration status. The student registration status is key to the calculation of the Title IV funds to be returned to the Department of Education. The discrepancy resolution was outside of the 45-day requirement causing the returns of Title IV funds to be untimely. Corrective Action Plan: The Director Student Financial Services, the Registrar and the Vice President of Instruction will work together to ensure communication and compliance with Faculty regarding administrative withdrawal policy and procedures.

Contact Person: Kathleen Boody, Associate Vice President for Student Retention/Registrar Corrective Action: The primary reason for the errors in enrollment reporting is due to a change in the enrollment reporting schedule through the National Clearing House.
