Condition: The College did not send out the post-disbursement email notifications to a group of students. Planned Corrective Action: While the College has documented procedures in place for the disbursement of federal funds and required post-disbursement notifications to students, the College did not properly send a post-disbursement notification to 591 out of 659 students who received federal financial aid loans in Fall 2023. The College will adjust its internal processes to ensure all students who receive federal loans are sent post-disbursement email notifications by performing a weekly review of the report that generates a names list of students that are receiving federal loans. If names exist on the report, a verification in the student record will be conducted to be sure the email was sent. After further investigation, all 608 students that received federal loans in spring semester 2024 and all 56 students in summer of 2024 received a post-disbursement notification.

Finding 2024-002 Federal Agency Name: Department of Education Assistance Listing Number: #84.268 Program Name: Federal Direct Student Loans Finding Summary: 1 of the 60 students selected for testing the reporting of student status changes were reported with the incorrect enrollment status based on NSLDS Enrollment Reporting guidance. 3 of the 60 students selected for testing the reporting of student status changes were reported to NSLDS with incorrect program begin dates based on NSLDS Enrollment Reporting guidance. 1 of the 60 students selected for testing the reporting of student status changes were reported to NSLDS with an incorrect status effective date based on NSLDS Enrollment Reporting guidance. Corrective Action Plan: LATC currently runs a SQL database script against the enrollment file before sending it to NSC. This script checks for missing and erroneous data (race/ethnicity, nondegree seeking majors, anticipated grad dates, etc.) in the file and updates it to correct values. The Director of Enrollment will work with the Database Administrator to regularly update these tables and review to ensure accurate information is being imported. The Registrar’s office will manually investigate these records and (if necessary) updated before sending the file to NSC. Every 30 days, representatives from the Financial Aid and the Registrar’s departments will pull 10 randomly selected student files to compare information in National Student Clearinghouse, PowerFaids, and NSLDS. The Director of Enrollment will work the error reports that the National Student Clearinghouse sends to LATC after every enrollment file upload with the assistance of the Database Administrator to ensure data submitted is compliant with DOE regulations. The Director of Financial Aid will review NSLDS to ensure corrections submitted by the Director of Enrollment are being properly recorded. Responsible Individual(s): Eric Schultz, Director of Enrollment and Kayla Bossly, Director of Financial Aid Anticipated Completion Date: Corrections complete by December 31, 2024.

Out of a sample of 25 students tested, proper written documentation was not maintained for 23 students at the time of initial review. Corrective Actions Taken and Planned: 1. The District has already obtained and provided the appropriate documentation for the majority of the students in question. 2. Moving forward, the District will implement procedures to ensure compliance with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 requirements for cohort tracking, which allows student removal only when: ○ There is written documentation of transfer to another school/educational program ○ There is documentation of emigration to another country ○ There is documentation of transfer to a prison or juvenile facility ○ There is documentation that the student is deceased Contact Person Responsible: Name: Orsolya Cypert Title: Chief Data Officer Department: Office of Data Analytics, Digital Innovation, and Strategic Communications

With the stability of staffing in the Registrar’s Office and Financial Aid Office and the level of experience and competence of this staff, enrollment reporting has been completed within the parameters of regulatory guidelines. The Registrar’s Office submits enrollment reports as scheduled and subsequent error resolution reports as appropriate. The Financial Aid Office reviews identified NSLDS errors, corrects and resubmits them timely. Regularly scheduled meetings, including the Registrar’s and Financial Aid Offices, continue as noted in corrective actions for Findings 2022-005 and 2023-005. These meetings serve as the platform to discuss and address identified enrollment reporting concerns/issues timely, resulting in improved accuracy in enrollment reporting and timeliness in error resolution. In addition, attendance through Census will be monitored in an effort better identify registered but not enrolled students for administrative action and timely reporting. Institutional enrollment reports will be used to identify students who have chosen not to continue their studies at the University but without withdrawing from the institution to alert departments to execute their operational protocols for students who have discontinued enrollment. Students who officially withdraw pursuant to established University protocols will be required to consult with Financial Aid during this process. University departments will continue to be informed of student withdrawals as they occur to inform their practices.
