The District acknowledges the finding. Upon internal review, it was determined that while the submission process for the 2024 fiscal year was initiated in a timely manner, it remained in a ""pending"" status because staff were unaware of the subsequent certification and submission steps required following the initial data upload.

This checklist will outline the phases of the process to ensure no step is overlooked. ● Staff Cross-Training: To mitigate the risk of a single-point failure, two staff members will be trained on the portal requirements.

The College acknowledges that a submission error occurred in Spring 2023, resulting in several students not being included in the routine semester enrollment submissions to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). Beginning in Spring 2024, our Institutional Research department initiated a comprehensive process to resubmit corrected enrollment files to the NSC, covering Spring 2023, Summer 2023, and Fall 2023. In collaboration with NSC, we followed their established process to rectify the error, which required reloading each submission one at a time in succession from the original submission with the error. This process caused delays in our subsequent submissions until the corrections were fully completed. To prevent recurrence, we have implemented enhanced checks and controls prior to each submission to review the file and file size to ensure the correct number of students are submitted to NSC. Additionally, all submissions post-Spring 2023 have been reviewed, and we have confirmed that this was an isolated incident. Due to the timing of when the College was notified by NSC, this item carried forward into audit year 2025.
