Finding Text

Special Tests. Questioned Costs: $0. Condition: The College had five instances out of the twenty-five tested where a student's enrollment change was not updated within the required sixty days. The College had another instance where the student had graduated but the NSLDS records showed the student went straight from full time to withdrawn. The Department of Education never received a report of the student's graduation. Criteria: Per the Student Financial Assistance Program Compliance Supplement, May, 2024, the Special Test compliance requirement "Enrollment Reporting", the College must accurately notify the Department of Education of changes in student enrollment information at the Campus Level and Program Level and must notify the Department of Education timely of certain changes for Direct Loan Borrowers. Cause: This occurred due to human error as the initial enrollment submission was never sent for the Fall 2023 submission. Effect: Even thought the College was not in compliance with all the Enrollment Reporting requirements, no student direct loan repayment start dates were effected. Recommendation: We recommend the College implement internal control procedures to ensure that all Student Financial Assistance Enrollment Reporting is done accurately and timely. View of Responsible Officials: Management acknowledges the finding and has prepared a corrective action plan. Anticipated Date of Completion: June 30, 2025
