The College has controls and processes in place to properly evaluate credit (SAP). As part of the corrective action we have documented and re-trained the Registrar and financial aid staff on the process to record SAP; notify the student of probationary periods; and notify financial aid of a change in SAP status. The process has an additional section that establishes segregation of duties such that a member of the Registrar’s office shall not update their own record but would request posting be reviewed and completed by another member of the registrar’s office. The documentation of this process is included below: 1. At the beginning of each semester the Registrar’s office will evaluate credit (SAP) on the prior semester. In order to ensure proper segregation of duties the following section has been added. • If a member of the Registrar’s office is a student during the prior semester a different member of the Registrar’s office will evaluate their SAP and update their record. • Any notification related to the evaluation of SAP will be conducted by the other Registrar’s office member. 2. The Registrar’s office will notify financial aid of students without credit. • The Financial Aid Office will provide appropriate notifications for students who did not receive credit (SAP) for the first time. 3. The Registrar’s office will evaluate if lack of credit (SAP) is for a second semester. • If it is the second semester, the student is then notified and they are no longer eligible for federal financial aid for the upcoming term. • The Financial Aid office will provide notification to the student that credit is needed for that semester or the student is not eligible for federal financial aid for the upcoming term. • The Registrar’s office will provide notification of students on the list created in point 2 and 3 to the Financial Aid office. 4. Financial Aid will update student’s record to indicate that they are ineligible for financial aid. This process will remain in place until Goddard College completes implementation of “Anthology Student” which is an integrated student information system that supports compliance with Title IV guidelines. Anthology will evaluate satisfactory academic progress against an approved program, among many other compliance items, and provide the integrated notification to students of their lack of progress as well as flag their financial aid record so that federal funds are not approved. This system will replace the intensive manual data management process currently utilized and the electronic alerts and processes will achieve results reliably and automatically. The college would like to note that the registrar (the student in question) did not provide written notification that she did not meet SAP from the Fall term but she was aware of it given her position and normal job duties. The employee involved has submitted their resignation from the college and the process will be shared with the new Registrar. Financial aid staff has completed additional training on SAP guidelines and the importance of compliance with SAP requirements.

Finding No. 2023-001: Controls Over Student Financial Assistance Special Tests and Provisions – Enrollment Reporting (Repeated from Finding No. 2022-001) Condition: During the compliance testing of “Special Tests and Provisions” requirements related to Enrollment Reporting, we noted the following exceptions: • Two (2) students were not reported within the 60 day requirement. Plan: Admissions and Records will no longer award degrees after a two-week grade period following each semester’s conferred date. All students who do not apply or do not meet the qualifications to grade on this date will be awarded at the end of the following term. A letter of completion may be provided to students who complete degree requirements during the course of a semester. Applicable programs have been notified of this change. In addition, the final Clearinghouse submission with degrees will be submitted and validated prior to any submissions for the next term. Additionally, the degree submission list posted to the Clearinghouse will be compared to the final graduate list generated in Institutional Research to ensure the lists match.

Department of Education 2023-002 Student Financial Assistance – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend the University reevaluate its procedures and review policies surrounding reporting status changes to NSLDS to put a process in place to ensure the student status changes are being reported timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the auditfinding. Action taken in response to finding: Auditors identified five students where the change in enrollment status was not reported in a timely manner. It was noted that we identified the status changes while there was a cybersecurity breach within the file transfer system used by the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), our third-party servicer. As a result, our reporting was delayed. We received notice of the incident from the NSC on June 16, 2023. Our next planned transmission was scheduled for June 28. We postponed our regular reporting schedule for one week while we reset our secure FTP password with NSC, initialized our account in their updated system, and while our ITS security officer evaluated the risk. We ended up submitting the file to the NSC on July 5. As a result of this incident, we remain vigilant for external factors that may impact our reporting schedule. We will address them as quickly as possible to avoid reporting delays. Names of the contact persons responsible for corrective action: Gwenn Sherburne, Registrar Planned completion date for corrective action plan: By first reporting date for 2023-2024 academic year in early September 2023.

We have revised the calculation of the Paid Annual Leave award and verified that it uses the pay rates in effect at the time of the award for all employees. We confirmed that no other expenses for the COVID-19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution (“Provider Relief Fund”) reporting involved costs subject to similar point in time report parameters. The change to this cost item does not impact the full utilization of the Provider Relief Fund due to the presence of other expenses in the same category along with unreimbursed expenses and unused lost revenues remaining after the funds were exhausted. The discrepancy was due to imprecise instructions in the request for information. In the future, such ad hoc requests and the responsive reports will be verified by the Executive Director of Corporate Accounting before use.
