Finding – Special Tests and Provisions: Enrollment Reporting – Federal Direct Student Loan Program, Assistance Listing Number 84.268; May 31, 2025 Award Year; U.S. Department of Education Criteria or Specific Requirement Enrollment information, including the effective date of separation from the institution, must be accurately reported within 30 days whenever attendance changes for a student, unless a roster will be submitted within 60 days. The changes include reductions or increases in attendance levels, withdrawals, graduations, and approved leaves of absence. It is the institution’s responsibility, as a participant in the Title IV aid programs, to monitor and report these changes to the National Student Loan Data System (“NSLDS”). (NSLDS Enrollment Reporting Guide November 2022, and 34 CFR 685.309(b)) Condition Of the nine students selected for enrollment reporting testing, two students within the sample were reported to NSLDS outside the maximum 60-day window. This was not a statistically valid sample. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions The College concurs with the finding. The College will continue to remain vigilant in its oversight over timely communication of enrollment reporting detail to NSLDS. In both instances, the data we had sent to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) was not received by NSLDS in a timely fashion. We will review our reporting schedule and make the appropriate changes to our reporting timeline to ensure the data we report to the NSC is subsequently received by NSLDS within regulations.

2025‐001 Significant Deficiency: Working During Scheduled Class Time (U.S. Department of Education, Federal Work Study Program, ALN #84.033) Responsible Officials: Christin Mustard, Director of Financial Aid, is responsible for overseeing campus-based funding, and Melissa Tolbert, Financial Aid Office Manager, manages the work study contracts and training with supervisors and students. Kelly Pennington, Payroll and Benefits Supervisor, is responsible for paying work study students. Summary of Finding: During the audit, it was noted that a student appears to have been paid for Federal Work Study hours logged and submitted for time the student was scheduled to be in class without acceptable exemption, which contradicts guidance provided by the 2024-2025 Federal Student Aid Handbook, resulting in an over-payment of $11. Corrective Action Plan: King University has implemented a new mandatory training module for both work study students and supervisors. This training must be completed before a student is cleared to begin working, and this step will be an annual requirement for all new and returning students and supervisors. The training includes key points from the Work Study Handbook and an assessment test that must be passed in order to be cleared for work. Our Work Study Coordinator is completing individual training with all new supervisors as well as refresher training with returning supervisors. Supervisors are informed of their responsibility to verify the accuracy of all timesheets submitted and to ensure that clocked hours do not overlap with scheduled class time. They are required to meet with their work study students in advance to review the policies and expectations outlined in the Work Study Handbook. Both the student and supervisor must sign a document acknowledging that they have read the handbook. Timely communications and reminders will be sent throughout the academic year to supervisors and students as well. As an added safeguard, our IT department has created a report that compares student timesheets to their class schedules to ensure there is no overlap with class time. This report will be run by payroll or financial aid staff prior to each pay cycle to verify compliance. Anticipated Completion Date: King University has returned the overpayment of $11 to the Department via G6 in September 2025.

Sample Size Information: This is not applicable. Noncompliance Information: This is not applicable. Statement of Condition: South Fork violated the single audit requirements by not filing the Single Audit Data Collection Form (SF-SAC) to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse in a timely manner.

Effect or Potential Effect: South Fork is in violation with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse guidelines. Cause: Unaware of Federal Audit Clearinghouse filing requirements. South Fork was only aware of filing the audited financial statements to REAC.

Finding Reference Number: 2025-001 Return to Title IV Funds Summary of Finding: During the R2T4 calculation, all Title IV funds from the Direct Loan, Federal Pell Grant, Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant, TEACH Grant, and FSEOG programs that were disbursed or able to be disbursed should have be included in determining the amount of earned Title IV funds. In performing the calculation for one student, the institution failed to include all applicable federal aid resulting in $220 of excess Pell grant funds being retained on the student’s behalf. The excess funds of $220 were returned to the DOE in July 2025. Entity’s Corrective Action Plan: The University recognizes the importance of accuracy when performing R2T4 calculations. In this particular situation, the employee who performed the calculation was new in the role and had not previously had responsibility for R2T4 calculations. The University has reassigned this responsibility and has provided education and training for the staff responsible for R2T4 calculations for 2025-26. In addition, the University is requiring a review of each calculation by another member of the financial aid staff with knowledge and training on how to perform the calculations.

Finding Reference Number: 2025-002 Working During Scheduled Class Time Summary of Finding: Students are not permitted to work in Federal Work Study positions during scheduled class times. Exceptions are permitted if an individual class is cancelled, if the instructor has excused the student from attending for a particular day, and if the student is receiving credit for employment in an internship, externship, or community workstudy experience with exemptions being appropriately documented. The University had a few instances in which appropriate documentation for exemptions had not been obtained by the supervisors. The known error is $99 with extrapolation of the error across the population at $3,115. Entity’s Corrective Action Plan: The University understands the federal guidelines and provided reminders to all students and supervisors, via email, that students are not permitted to work during scheduled class times; the reminders were sent at the end of each pay period throughout the 2024-25 year. In August 2025, the University provided a required training session for all work study supervisors and reviewed the importance of compliance with this specific aspect of managing FWS as well as all other federal requirements governing the Federal Work Study Program. Supervisors and students continue to receive bi-monthly reminders of this policy. Supervisors are expected to monitor when their students are working and to know their students’ class schedules. They are expected to request documentation if clock-in times, or any period of their work shift, falls within a scheduled class time. Additionally, for 2025-26, the Human Resource Office is developing a review process to determine that appropriate documentation has been obtained if a student meets one of the eligible exemption criteria.

Corrective measures taken include: • Reimbursement of the unallowable costs identified ($2,261) with non-federal funds. • Ongoing training for Finance staff regarding HUD cost principles, allowable costs, and budget compliance. • Regular review of expenditures by the Director of Finance to ensure costs are reasonable, necessary, and allowable under the HUD agreement.

Name of Responsible Individual: Alex Putzer, AVP of Business and Finance Condition: The University did not return credit balances to students within the required timeframe. Corrective Action Plan: The University experienced significant turnover of staff in the Business Office, particularly in Student Accounts, during summer 2024 through fall 2024. The University recognizes that there needs to be better checks and balances in place to ensure all credit balances triggered by federal aid are properly refunded to students within the 14-day required period. Director of Student Accounts will more frequently post financial aid awards on student accounts, once a week at a minimum. The Business Office will monitor all refunds and process them twice weekly, with two different staff members cross-trained so that a week is never missed. The AVP of Business and Finance will review the status of all credit balances on Student accounts’ on a weekly basis throughout the year to ensure timely reimbursement.
