Recommendation: We recommend the District review its reporting procedures to ensure that enrollment and program information is accurately reported to NSLDS as required by regulations. Action taken in response to finding: During the 2024-2025 audit, two enrollment records were reported late to NSLDS in October 2024. The late reporting occurred prior to the implementation of the corrective action plan developed during the 2023–2024 audit period. The previously identified cause was timing gaps between Clearinghouse file submission and NSLDS processing. Corrective Action Taken: The corrective action plan from the 2023–2024 audit period was fully implemented as of Spring 2025 and has addressed the root cause of the late reporting. Actions implemented include: • Reviewed and documented enrollment reporting timelines from Clearinghouse submission through NSLDS posting. • Established consistent file submission schedules aligned with NSLDS reporting deadlines. • Formalized communication and escalation procedures with the Clearinghouse and NSLDS, including designated points of contact. • Updated internal policies and procedures to reflect revised reporting timelines. • Provided training to staff responsible for enrollment reporting, emphasizing timeliness and compliance requirements. • Implemented monitoring controls to track file submission, acceptance, and processing by NSLDS. The 2023-2024 audit corrective action plan was successfully implemented in Spring 2025. Since implementation, no additional late enrollment reporting instances have occurred. Moving forward, it is expected that enrollment reporting to NSLDS will be timely and compliant with federal requirements, supported by documented procedures and ongoing monitoring controls. Name of the contact person responsible for corrective action: Dr. Kristina Martinez, Acting Dean of Enrollment Services Planned completion date for corrective action plan: June 30, 2026
