After Cases/Tickets were reported to the SIS the System is now calculating correctly based on system updates and the process of returning funds is working as expected. Human error was a factor in two of the instances noted. The College has implemented internal controls and another level of review of the Return to Title IV calculations and return process based on the functioning of the new SIS.

REFERENCE: 2024-005 – Special Tests and Provision – Enrollment Reporting Student Financial Assistance Cluster (Assistance listing No. 84.007, 84.063, 84.268) Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Education Facility: Good Samaritan College of Nursing and Health Science Finding: Good Samaritan College of Nursing & Health Science did not have internal controls over enrollment reporting. Student enrollment information, including enrollment status changes and campus level and program level information, was not reported accurately and/or timely to the NSLDS for certain students. Corrective Action Plan: Beginning Spring of 2024, Good Samaritan College changed their reporting cycle to include five submissions per semester. This change was encouraged as a best practice from the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admission Officers (AACRAO). Reporting five times within a traditional semester creates an approximate 30-day cycle from first submission to the next, keeping reporting to NSLDS well below the 60-day reporting minimum. Evidence of this will be shared in the College’s monthly Compliance Committee Meetings. To address the issues of reporting “less than half time” for students who were enrolled in zero hours, Good Samaritan College has contacted the Student Information System vendor, Ellucian, to identify a technological solution allowing the reporting of students with zero hours correctly. Until a technological solution can be found, the College Registrar will run a report to cross check against each enrollment transmission for National Student Clearinghouse identifying all students who drop to zero hours and report them as withdrawn to NSC. In turn, NSC will correctly report to NSLDS the status of withdrawn. Reporting is signed off and evidence of this will be shared in the College’s monthly Compliance Committee meetings. Person Responsible: Judy Kronenberger, President Good Samaritan College of Nursing and Health Science Expected Completion: February 2025

REFERENCE: 2024-003 – Special Tests and Provisions – Return of Title IV Funds SFA Cluster (Assistance Listing No. 84.268) Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Education Facility: Good Samaritan College of Nursing and Health Science Finding: Good Samaritan College of Nursing and Health Science did not calculate and return Title IV funds in a timely manner to the U.S. Department of Education, within 45 days after the date the institution determined that a student withdrew. Good Samaritan College of Nursing & Health Science did not provide evidence of an effective review process to ensure the timely calculation and return of Title IV funds to the U.S. Department of Education. Corrective Action Plan: Beginning in April 2024, Financial Aid Services incorporated an additional step to the return disbursement process to ensure timely returns. The additional step occurs after each return to ensure the Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) system shows the return successfully processed for the student. Financial Aid Services reviews the student’s disbursement detail history in COD to confirm the return credit adjustment has been applied to the appropriate record and it shows an applied date at ED within the appropriate timeframe for the return. To document this process has been completed, Financial Aid Services maintains a spreadsheet for all returns. The spreadsheet documents the student, amount of the return, date processed in Financial Aid and Student Accounts, date processed in G5, and date applied at ED per COD. If any issues arise during this review where the return did not successfully apply at ED, Financial Aid Services reviews and resolves rejects immediately so the record can move forward and process successfully within the required timeframe. The Dean of Financial Services validates the report submitted by Financial Aid Services on a monthly basis and submits the document to the President. Both review and sign the documentation. This documentation is presented to the GSC Compliance Oversight Committee to ensure monthly verification of time return of Title IV funds.

Management agrees with the finding. To determine any students who may have had an incorrect Return of Title IV aid (R2T4) processed, the financial aid office reviewed all students who withdrew to determine if recalculation was required for both the fall 2023 and spring 2024 semesters. • For the fall 2023 semester, the setup in Powerfaids had the break days correctly listed but two students did not have break days included in the R2T4 calculation that was processed. These students were reprocessed, and additional Pell disbursements were requested from COD on December 3, 2024. • For the spring 2024 semester, the setup in Powerfaids did not include the correct amount of break days. Spring break was 8 days and so we recalculated all students who withdrew during this semester and processed applicable adjustments (positive or negative) on December 3 or December 11, 2024. Management at the System Office will work with SMCC and KVCC management to implement a process to verify the setup for the R2T4 calculation which verifies correct dates are included within the semester calendar. The System will assign review of details in the batch of calculations and establish verification as calculations are scanned to the student file. The timing of this resolution is anticipated to occur in Spring 2025. Richard Rosen, Chief Financial Officer (Interim), is responsible for the corrective action plan.

Corrective actions: The Financial Aid Office has historically received a copy of the Fund 10 and Fund 13 ledgers from the Business Office and then calculated the tuition and fees, making sure to remove the concurrently enrolled students and inapplicable fees. This calculation was completed without knowledge that some of the Fund 13 Fees pass through and are already included the Fund 10 details. This resulted in a number of Fund 13 Fees being counted twice. This process has been corrected starting with the 24-25 FISAP. The CFO and Financial Aid Director worked together and the CFO calculated the tuition and fees for Part II Section E of the FISAP. This ensured the correct calculation and eliminated the inclusion of fees that were flowing through the two different GL fund accounts.

Corrective actions: Eastern Wyoming College currently has a service arrangement with National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to provide enrollment reporting to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) per the requirements outlined in CFR 690.83 (b)(2), 685.309(b), and per the NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Guide. These regulations require institutions to report changes in enrollment within a 60-day period. In fulfilling these requirements, EWC's Data Analyst utilizes reports in Colleague to complete the enrollment reporting requirements and submit these reports to NSC. This occurs every thirty days, which exceeding meets the 60-day requirement. EWC's Office of Institutional Research, through the Data Analyst, works with the Registrar and the Financial Aid Office to review and resolve any reporting errors with NSC. Historically, this process worked with minimal errors, but the HCM2 processes posed some unforeseen challenges in the reporting process. To meet these challenges, the Data Analyst sends the student rosters to the NSC. If the students on the SSCR roster are not part of the NSLDS database as a current borrower or recipient of federal student aid, then the Data Analyst must manually upload the information to the NSLDS instead of relying on NSC to initiate the reporting. The Student Financial Aid and Registrar Offices have implemented controls to ensure the proper and timely reporting of student status changes. Upon the implementation of an effective reporting control process, EWC will directly review the student status changes at the NSLDS rather than rely solely on its third-party service provider. For instances where students program length was not reporting correctly, this was resolved at the end of 2022-2023 award year, and the Financial Aid office updated all the Colleague screens used to pull the reports utilized by Institutional Research in submitting the report. EWC has developed and distributed Standard Operating Procedures to ensure the withdrawal dates reported in each office are using the same information.
