Corrective Action Plan: Currently, UNM sends award information upon initial packaging which includes type of loan offered, if any, amount, and semester. The packaging process typically begins in March for the following aid year and runs on a nightly basis. A separate loan offer notification is sent upon packaging which includes type of loan offered, amount, and semester. The loan offer also includes instructions on how to accept the loan and links to resources such as loan interest rates, promissory notes, entrance counseling and how to access loan history via NSLDS. If students choose to accept the loan(s), a loan acceptance notification is sent. This notification includes type of loan, amount, and semester. It also includes right to cancel information, cancellation procedures and instructions on accessing loan history. Loan acceptance notifications are sent nightly upon acceptance. The timing of the loan offer and acceptance notifications is based on when the student completes their financial aid file and is packaged, and when they accept their loan(s) but does not correspond with the actual loan disbursement. UNM has been relying on the loan offer and acceptance notifications and COD disbursement notifications to convey the loan disbursement notification information as required per 34 CFR 668.165. Effective immediately, UNM will establish an internal process to send loan disbursement notifications within 30 days of the actual loan disbursement. The internal process will duplicate our current offer and acceptance notifications. UNM will continue to opt in to COD disbursement notifications as a secondary method of communication.

Finding 2023-001: Special Tests and Provisions: Enrollment Reporting Context/Condition: Of the 40 students selected for enrollment reporting testing, 3 students within the sample were reported to NSLDS outside the maximum 60-day window. Recommendation: The auditor recommended that the College review and update internal controls to ensure student enrollment status in the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) is updated in a timely manner to ensure compliance with Federal requirements. Persons Responsible for Corrective Action: Dr. Deokhyo Kim, Registrar Planned Corrective Action: We communicated with our software vendor, Aptron, to determine what caused the enrollment reporting issues. We identified two issues and worked with Aptron to put measures in place so that these issues do not happen in the future. 1. Missing withdrawn students who were not pulled up by system when they withdrew before or on the 1st enrollment report date. APTRON fixed the programming and the system now pulls those who are withdrawn before or on the 1st enrollment report date for each semester. 2. Missing graduates with their 2nd degree. APTRON fixed the programming, so that our Degree Verify file will now report a student who has earned a second degree with us. A Degree Verify File of graduates was submitted to the NSCH for any student who had earned a second degree not previously reported. Anticipated Completion Date: Fixes with our software vendor have been completed.

2023-004: 240 Days Outstanding Check Recommendation: We recommend the District re-evaluate their procedures for processing and documenting outstanding Title IV funds to the Department of Education. Action taken in response to finding: This issue is the result of a conflict between the procedures used by the awarding team (Financial Aid) and the disbursement team (Fiscal Services). The Financial Aid team was operating with a set of pre-pandemic instructions that had them contact students to fix their address information (the typical reason that disbursements timeout) and send a list of students with verified addresses to Fiscal Services for reissuing. Nothing in their procedures mentioned the need to rescind aid—only the need to verify addresses to allow funds to reach students. The Fiscal Services team’s procedures, on the other hand, assumed the Financial Aid team was rescinding aid as necessary and thus would reissue repeatedly as long as the funds remained awarded in the school’s information system, even in cases where the initial disbursement had been made more than 240 days prior. The combination of these two procedures led to the findings in this year’s audit and last year’s audit, as well. The Financial Aid team’s procedures were updated and presented to the team on October 4, 2023. These new procedures included:  Directions on how to rescind funds  A policy statement requiring recission when the time since first disbursement has exceeded 90 days (an institutional policy that is stricter than the 240 days allowable under federal regulations)  A clear set of instructions on how to make the determination to rescind funds. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Patrick Scott, Dean – Financial Aid Planned completion date for corrective action plan: October 2023 for procedure correction.

2023-001: Student Eligibility and Awarding Recommendation: We recommend the District to evaluate its procedures related to the manual input of information from the student loan request. Action taken in response to finding: This issue was the result of using the Solano completed unit level, rather than the cumulative number that includes transfer units, when awarding a student in our small BS Biotechnology program. Student had completed 43.5 credits at Solano by the beginning of the aid year. As a result, the student was awarded a second-year subsidized amount when they were eligible for the third year and beyond amount. This resulted in the student receiving $1,000 less subsidized loans than they were eligible for. In July 2023, we trained the team to watch for this issue and evaluated the procedure log that we use for processing Direct Loans. This log now includes two checks that are relevant to ensuring subsidized loan amounts are correct: 1. Confirm the level of the student. If the student is in our BS Biotechnology program, they may have additional eligibility than the standard first-year and second-year loans that we normally process as a community college. 2. If the loan is a single-term loan, is the full subsidized eligibility exhausted before awarding any unsubsidized loan amounts? The student’s file was corrected on COD on 8/3/2023 to reflect a $5,500 subsidized award.

Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The college will create a stronger infrastructure around records and reporting by reducing the number of staff who have access to student coding. The number of staff allowed access to student program changes and enrollment transactions results in a significant number of errors on the NSC report due to effective dating issues. The volume of errors is not manageable with the current staff and will continue to be so regardless of additional infrastructure if changes in the business process are not implemented. The Registrar is creating a system for effective dating and reducing the number of employees with access to student program coding and enrollment transactions as part of the implementation of the new ERP system Colleague. In addition, the Registrar will create a student coding and effective dating chart that outlines the dates and deadlines associated with allowable student program changes and enrollment transactions. The reduction in staff access and implementation of effective dating in alignment with the new enterprise system Colleague and NSC reporting requirements will result in compliance with NSLDS reporting requirements.
