Criteria or Specific Requirement
Special tests and provisions – Student Status Changes
Condition
Incorrect status was listed for two students on National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS)
Context
Out of a sample of 26 students that graduated or withdrew with Direct Loans, the University failed to correctly notify NSLDS of two students’ status changes within the 60-day time frame
Effect
NSLDS was not aware of the status of the impacted students.
Cause
The University manually reported the status change of one student to NSLDS and it was overridden when the Clearinghouse sent in the batch update. One student did not have a social security number in the system and therEfore was not updated when the batch report was sent in to Clearinghouse.
Recommendation
The University should establish a review procedure to verify that NSLDS reflects the correct change in student status.
