Finding 2025-001 Condition During the year, there were no documented internal controls in place over the Title IV refund calculations. In the sample of 5 students who withdrew from the University, there was one student for whom the return was miscalculated. The result was too much aid being refunded. The sample was not statistically valid. Corrective Action Plan To address this issue, the Title IV Return of Funds Policy has been updated to strengthen accountability and compliance. All R2T4 calculations will be completed by the Financial Aid Counselor and reviewed by the Director, with signatures documenting internal controls. A checklist and quarterly reviews will ensure accuracy, and ERP integration within Ellucian Colleague, set for full implementation by October 31, 2025, will automate calculations and improve compliance monitoring. Name(s) of Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Susan Collins, Director of Financial Aid Anticipated Completion Date: October 31, 2025 Linda Scholting CFO 10/29/2025
