Finding 2022-001 - Student Financial Aid Cluster, CFDA# 84.007, 84.033, 84.038, 84.063, 84.268 Compliance Requirement: Special Test and Provisions - Enrollment Reporting Condition: The College sent 10 changes related to withdrawn students to the National Student Loan Data System (?NSLDS?) after 60 days and did not send status changes related to 11 withdrawn students to the NSLDS for the year ended May 31, 2022 of which 14 students received direct loans. Criteria: The College is required to send changes in attendance levels, graduated, withdrew, dropped out, or enrolled changes to the NSLDS within 60 days of the change. Cause: The College had not reported changes of withdrawn students to the NSLDS as required under the Uniform Grant Guidance for the year ended May 31, 2022. The College had a system upgrade in the Fall of 2021 and did not realize there was a bug in the system that did not properly report withdrawn students on one of the standard reports produced by the system. The College did not have another monitoring mechanism in place that would have alerted them to this deficiency in the automated system reporting. Context: The College is required to send changes in attendance levels, graduated, withdrew, dropped out, or enrolled changes to the NSLDS within 60 days of the change. Effect: The College did not report withdraw changes to the NSLDS timely. Recommendation: The College should put in place a process to timely capture withdrawn student changes so that they can be reported to the NSLDS. Management Response: The College concurs with this finding. Corrective Action Plan: See attached management?s corrective action plan.
