COVID‐19 Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds – Institution Share Department of Education Federal Financial Assistance Listing #84.425F Activities Allowed or Unallowed and Allowable Costs/Costs Principles Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Finding Summary: The University’s calculated lost revenue was based on average credit hours per semester prior to COVID-19 as compared to fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022. There was a formula error in the credit hours used during COVID-19 resulting in an understated amount of lost revenue from the intended methodology. Responsible Individuals: Tami Lansing, Controller Corrective Action Plan: The calculation underwent a review, yet the error eluded detection during the review. In any future COVID-19 lost revenue calculations, we will exercise more detailed scrutiny. The University was constrained by a predetermined threshold for lost revenue, and we had already surpassed that limit. The miscalculation, had it not been overlooked, would have only inflated that amount. It is important to note that the University intentionally approached lost revenue calculations with a conservative basis. Anticipated Completion Date: August 10, 2023

FINDINGS—FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDITS SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY U.S. Department of Education 2023-002 Student Financial Assistance Cluster: Assistance Listing No. 84.007, 84.063, 84.268, 84.379, 84.033 UNIVERSITY OF LOUISVILLE CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 Recommendation: We recommend that the University work with their third-party servicer and implement procedures to ensure that enrollment data, changes in status and effective dates within NSLDS are reported timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The original guidance for missing or incorrect social security number from the Clearinghouse was to reach out to the student and obtain proof of the social security number or enter the student into the system without a social security number. The student was entered without using a social security number and this issue was not resolved. The University’s Registrar’s Office has inquired about this issue and have since been provided updated guidance on how to rectify the occurrence of such. The new guidance provided has already been implemented by the Registrar’s Office. The new guidance from the National Student Clearinghouse allows for a student’s information to be entered with the social security number supplied when registering and add enrollment information. Going forward, this missing information will not preclude a student from being reported. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Chris Goodman Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Implemented 09/28/2023 If the U.S. Department of Education has questions regarding this plan, please call Beverly Santamouris at (502) 852-6272.
