A. Comments on Findings and Recommendations: Finding 2022-001 Exit Counseling Condition: The Institution did not timely perform the required FDL exit counseling for 10 of 20 students in the sample requiring exit counseling. PMC agrees with the condition outlined in Finding 2022-001 Exit Counseling. B. Prior Audit Findings There were no findings in the prior audit. C. Corrective Action Taken on Findings Finding 2022-001 Exit Counseling Current processes for exit counseling are to ensure graduating students receive exit counseling during the final quarter of enrollment as well as receive an e-mail with directions on how to complete exit counseling at www.studentloans.gov from the financial aid department. Students that are enrolled in less-than-halftime credits are also provided exit counseling when the quarter starts or known when the student drops down to that enrollment status through reduction of courses. When students withdraw they will be notified that they are to confirm whether or not a student has received direct loans or not; if yes, they are to perform their exit counseling duties. There has been a lack of quality assurance that has led to exit counseling being completed after 30 days for a variety of reasons. To correct this issue, PMC Registrar will run an enrollment status change report on a bi-weekly basis to catch any student that has changed to an out-of-school status and/or a less-than-half-time status to ensure the financial aid department completes their exit counseling phone call or in-person meeting, as well as their exit counseling e-mail with information regarding completing exit counseling via www.studentloans.gov. Within seven (7) days of the report being run, each student file will be checked to ensure exit counseling was completed and notes are placed within the file to verify exit counseling was completed within the 30 day period of the enrollment status change as required.
