Student Financial Assistance Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various
Recommendation: We recommend the College review its reporting procedures to ensure the students’ statuses are accurately and timely reported to NSLDS as required by regulations.
Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
Action taken in response to finding: The student that was incorrectly coded as FWS funds, the funds were immediately reclassified as institutional aid. Since Cornish, did not draw down all FWS funding, it did not impact the G5 drawdown and no needs needed to be returned. Going forward, a higher-level review will be conducted for students with high SAI and low need to ensure that no need-based funds, if not eligible, are in the packaging. This review, will take place after the initial counselor review, but before a student can begin working in the FWS program. This third check will ensure that these types of files are again reviewed in a timely manner and no over awards will happen in the future.
