2025-002 Significant Deficiency: Working During Scheduled Class Time (U.S. Department of Education - Federal Work Study Program, ALN #84.033) The University noted that multiple students appear to have been paid for Federal Work Study hours logged and submitted for time the student was scheduled to be in class without verification of a reasonable exemption. Management Response Management concurs with the auditor’s finding. Due to incomplete documentation of reasonable exemptions, students were paid Federal Work Study funds for time worked during regularly scheduled class meeting times. Responsible Person(s) Alex Campbell, Director of Financial Aid, and Bobbi Farris, Manager for Student Employment, are the responsible parties for the corrective action. Corrective Action Plan Upon identifying deficiencies related to the lack of documentation for allowable exemptions, the University immediately communicated with all Student Employment Supervisors regarding permitted exemptions and required documentation for students to work during scheduled class times. These requirements and exemptions are reviewed and agreed upon during the annual Student Employment Supervisor Trainings, which occur prior to job postings. Students are notified of the documentation required to be exempt and eligible to work during a scheduled class time during the onboarding process. In collaboration with Information Technology and third-party consultants, the Student Employment Office is enhancing reporting functions to ensure accurate identification of students with conflicting work and class times and to flag any conflicting entries for review and resolution prior to approval. These reports will be reviewed each pay period to ensure accurate documentation is obtained for any conflicting times flagged. While these fields are being implemented, regulations related to working during scheduled class times have been reinforced with both students and supervisors. Beginning with the Spring 2026 term, the University will implement a new policy prohibiting students participating in the Federal Work Study Program from working during scheduled class times, regardless of any met exemptions. All Student Employment Supervisors will be notified of this updated policy by the end of the Fall 2025 term. Training will continue on an annual basis to ensure proper procedures are followed by Student Employment Supervisors and students participating in the Federal Work Study Program. The Director of Financial Aid and Manager for Student Employment will review student time records each pay period to ensure full compliance with these policies. Expected Completion Date This corrective action plan was implemented in September 2025, during the Fall 2025 term. Final implementation will occur at the start of the Spring 2026 term.

2025-001 Significant Deficiency: Awards in Excess of Aggregate Limits (U.S. Department of Education, William D. Ford Direct Loan Program, ALN #84.268) The University awarded and disbursed Federal Direct Loans beyond aggregate limits. Management Response Management concurs with the auditors’ finding. Due to delays and changes in the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) post-screening process for the 2024–25 award year, Federal Direct Loans were inadvertently awarded and disbursed to students who had previously exceeded Federal Direct Loan aggregate limits. Responsible Person(s) Alex Campbell, Director of Financial Aid, and Kaitrin Parrett, Assistant Director of Financial Aid, are designated as the individuals responsible for implementing the corrective action. Corrective Action Plan Upon identifying deficiencies in loan aggregate reporting and over-award status, the Financial Aid Office initiated communication with the identified students to inform them of their overaward status and the process for resolving inadvertent overborrowing. In collaboration with software engineers, the Financial Aid Office is developing updated reporting to ensure proper identification of students who are ineligible due to meeting or exceeding aggregate limits set by the U.S. Department of Education. The Financial Aid Office tested and reviewed NSLDS post-screen data and student loan aggregates prior to the disbursement of Fall 2025 Federal Direct Loans to ensure students were not awarded or disbursed aid for which they were ineligible. Reviews of NSLDS post-screen data confirm that the Student Information System (SIS) accurately identifies student aggregate borrowing flags. The Financial Aid Office is also monitoring designated mailboxes to ensure any additional NSLDS post-screen data is reviewed and aggregate limits on student accounts are updated accordingly. All financial aid staff involved in awarding federal loans completed additional training on NSLDS review requirements, aggregate limit monitoring, and reaffirmation procedures prior to Fall 2025 disbursements. Training will continue on a quarterly basis to ensure proper procedures are followed by Financial Aid staff. Compliance reviews will be conducted on a semester basis to ensure that Title IV aid is not awarded to students in excess of their annual or aggregate limits. The Director and Assistant Director of Financial Aid will review aggregate limit reports monthly as part of the University’s internal operational calendar. Expected Completion Date This corrective action plan was implemented in September 2025, prior to Fall 2025 aid disbursements, which began on September 12, 2025.

Contact – Haresh Vayal, Chief Financial Officer and Lisa Choate, President and CEO Telephone Number – (202)-833-7522 Completion Date – March 31, 2026 2025-001 – Internal Control Over Compliance and Compliance with Cash Management Corrective Action Plan: The Organization’s Federal awards are primarily administered on a reimbursement basis. During fiscal year 2025, however, the Organization was required to draw advances on certain Federal awards due to changes in the political landscape. The guidance identified by the auditors is acknowledged. Management will implement a formal process to track Federal cash advances and monitor interest earned on those advances in compliance with Federal cash management requirements. Additionally, the Organization will calculate interest earned on Federal advances received during fiscal year 2025 and remit any interest earned in excess of $500 to the Federal government within 12 months of the date the advances were received. The Finance Department will monitor Federal cash advances on a monthly basis to ensure compliance with Federal cash management requirements. This monitoring will include reviewing the timing of advances, tracking interest earned on Federal funds, and reconciling advance balances to allowable expenditures. Interest calculations will be reviewed by management, and any interest earned in excess of $500 will be remitted to the Federal government within the required timeframe. Management will periodically review the process to ensure controls are operating effectively and make adjustments as necessary. Management believes these corrective actions will ensure compliance with applicable Federal cash management regulations going forward.

Individuals Responsible for Corrective Action Plan: •Dr. Lee Skinkle, VPAA •Elizbeth Geisz, Registrar •Melissa Waters, Senior Director Student Administration and Compliance Condition: The University did not report students’ status changes accurately and within the required timeframe. Management’s Corrective Action Plan: 1.Improved Identification of Withdrawals Per the University’s attendance policy, the Academics team promptly reviews students who haveceased academic activity for 14 consecutive days. Students meeting this criterion are identified androuted to the Registrar’s Office for processing as unofficial withdrawals within the required federaltimeframe. This procedure ensures timely and accurate reporting of enrollment status changes andeliminates the need to backdate information in the SIS, NSC, and NSLDS. 2.Refined Enrollment and Registration Deadlines Enrollment and registration deadlines have been tightened and communicated across alldepartments. Reducing late registration activity minimizes backdated actions that can result ininaccurate program-level and campus-level effective dates in NSC and NSLDS reporting. 3.Review and Adjustment of the Dismissal Timeline The dismissal process timeline is being reviewed and updated to ensure students have sufficienttime to meet enrollment and registration deadlines for subsequent academic periods. This reduceslate or retroactive enrollment-status changes that affect NSLDS timeliness. 4.Enhanced Quality Assurance for Enrollment Reporting Monthly quality checks will be performed on reports related to withdrawals, graduations, programchanges, and registration activity prior to submission to the NSC. These checks will specificallyverify: •Accuracy of program begin dates and program enrollment effective dates, •Accuracy and timeliness of campus-level enrollment status changes, and •Compliance with the 30-day/60-day federal reporting requirement. 5.Monitoring of NSC Transmission and NSLDS Reporting Timelines The University will monitor NSC transmission cycles and verify that all required enrollment changesare submitted in time to meet federal requirements under 34 CFR 685.309. 6.Updated Procedures and Staff Training Revised procedures outlining updated deadlines, reporting expectations, and QC steps will bedocumented and shared with all Enrollment, Registrar, and Deans. Targeted training will beprovided to ensure consistent and accurate implementation of these requirements. Anticipated Completion Date: The University intends to institute these beginning of January of 2026.
