The Institution does not agree with this finding. The Institution believes that it does not have the capability of changing this number on any of the open fields it has access to on the NSLDS site. The Institution made inquiries with the Department of Education and it was explained to the Institution in the transcripts of the call with the NSLDS help desk that this field cannot be changed by the Institution. It is the Institution’s conclusion, along with the preliminary opinions of the ED and NDLDS, that this is not a finding as the Institution has no control of these populated fields.

Condition: Two vendors provided goods or services in excess of the micro purchase threshold without having been procured through a competitive process.Corrective Action Plan Corrective Action Planned: The District’s Nutrition Services Program has previously documented procurement procedures for the Child Nutrition Programs. These procedures were last reviewed in fall 2022 as part of a Procurement Compliance Review performed by the Oregon Department of Education. The procedures require that the District consider the “aggregate dollar amount” of purchases of supplies or services. Additionally, the procedures state “the Director of Nutrition Services or their designee is responsible for the documentation of records to fully explain the decision to use the noncompetitive negotiation” (in the case of an emergency procurement). Unfortunately, in the two instances noted in the finding, the District did not adhere to the written procedures. Moving forward, at the close of each fiscal year, the Fiscal Services Department will provide the aggregate total spent with each vendor of goods or services to the Director of Nutrition Services or their designee in order to determine if any procurements are at or near the micro- or intermediate-purchase threshold. The Director of Nutrition Services or their designee will conduct the appropriate competitive procurement(s) in accordance with District procedures, if necessary.

Prior to the student information system transition, regular monitoring of the return of funds took place for Direct Loans, specifically for the returns associated with R2T4 calculations. During the transition, this process was not immediately replaced. It was noted during the audit cycle that issues existed within the new system related to returning funds and tickets were submitted to Jenzabar about the issues, specifically raising concerns about the timing of returns. Not all returns were being picked up by the process that collects the returns and sends them in batches to COD. Adjustments have been made to the system and testing has shown that all of the returns are being picked up now. The Financial Aid Office is also regularly monitoring returns again, similar to the process prior to the transition, and we are now monitoring both Direct Loan and Pell grant returns. This process is managed by an Excel spreadsheet of all Direct Loan and Pell grant returns that have been made in JFA. Any time a return of a Direct Loan or Pell grant is made in JFA, the return is added to the spreadsheet. A Financial Aid Counselor has a regular reminder on their calendar once per week to monitor each return to ensure that the full return process has taken place through COD and that the funds have been returned timely.

The Office of the Registrar submits the enrollment reports to the National Student Clearinghouse. Over the course of this past year, the office struggled with a new student information system and staff changes. To prevent reports being submitted late, everyone in the current staff has been trained on how to submit reports. The office has worked with representatives of the National Student Clearinghouse to assist with error reports. In addition, the due dates for submitting the reports have been updated to a more consistent timeframe each month. Each staff member in the Office of the Registrar has the list of dates when the reports are due. Furthermore, the staff hopes to schedule more training from the provider of the student information system to help process reports more accurately. Anticipated Completion Date: November 1, 2023

During the transition from Jenzabar CX to Jenzabar JFA software, the process to notify students of their loan and TEACH grant disbursements and rights to cancel needed to be rebuilt. The process in CX was fully automated, while the process in JFA was not fully automated for the 2022-23 audit cycle. As a result, there were some students in October of 2022 that did not receive their required notification. For the 2023-24 cycle, the Director of Financial Aid has worked with Jenzabar to establish a more automated process for these notifications. Two separate queries have been established to identify loan disbursements and TEACH recipients. Each query looks for disbursements that occurred that day and collects them in a batch. An automated “scheduler” then runs each group through a notification process where each student will receive an email to their Thomas More email account notifying them that they received the disbursement that day. The scheduler runs this process and sends notifications out at 8pm each evening. Any loan disbursements occur during normal business hours, and even if delayed, would not disburse past 6pm, so each disbursement that occurred that day will be caught by the scheduler by 8pm.
