U.S. Department of Education 2025-001 Student Financial Assistance Cluster – Assistance Listing No. Various Recommendation: We recommend Austin Community College District re-evaluate their procedures and review policies surrounding reporting status changes to NSLDS to ensure timely and accurate reporting. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: ACC submitted all student graduates’ status changes to the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) accurately and in a timely manner, however a number of individual records in the transmitted files were not further reported by NSC to NSLDS in a timely manner. ACC is developing internal controls that include follow-up review of all reported records sent from NSC to the NSLDS system, to ensure 100% accurate and timely reporting. The Enrollment and Records Specialist will review and certify all files and submissions, with a second audit verification of records’ status and timely reporting conducted by the Director of Compliance and Operations.
