Finding Number: 2025-002 Federal Program: Student Financial Assistance Cluster Federal Award Identification Number and Year: Various, 2024-2025 Assistance Listing Number (ALN): 84.268, 84.038, 93.342, 93.925 Federal Awarding Agency: U.S. Department of Education and U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Pass-through Entity: N/A Repeat Finding: No Significant Deficiency and Noncompliance – Enrollment Reporting Criteria: 34 C.F.R. § 682.610 Changes in a student’s status are required to be reported to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) within 30 days of the change or included in a Student Status Confirmation Report (SSCR) sent to the NSLDS within 60 days of the status change. Condition: The University did not properly update the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) for a student that graduated. Questioned Costs: None. Identification of How Questioned Costs Were Computed: N/A Context: Through testing of enrollment reporting during the year, we identified one instance where a student graduated in the University’s records; however, the University did not update NSLDS and the student still was reported as enrolled. Cause and Effect: The University did not properly review records submitted to NSLDS compared to institutional records, and as a result, a student was incorrectly shown as enrolled in NSLDS in a secondary curriculum even though the student graduated in the primary degree program. As a result, student loan records did not match between the University and NSLDS. Recommendation: We recommend management implement procedures and processes to ensure that student records are properly reported in NSLDS.
