Inaccurate Key Line-Item Information: Los Angeles City College - Student Support Services Program (Award No. P042A200354) Management concurs with the finding. The exceptions noted resulted from inadvertent data entry oversights during preparation of the 2023–2024 APR submission. Specifically, a data field was incorrectly reported as ““8 = No degree/certificate, still enrolled at grantee institution”” for two students who, based on transcript review, had earned associate degrees prior to the end of the reporting period. While these errors were isolated, management recognizes the importance of accuracy in federally reported performance data. Program staff will implement an additional verification step requiring cross-checks of APR data against official student records prior to submission and will provide refresher training on APR reporting requirements. These measures will reduce the risk of future misreporting and strengthen the reliability of program data submitted to the Department of Education.

The participant status and grade level for the student noted has been reviewed and will be reported in alignment with institutional records and prior APR submissions in future APR reporting cycles. To prevent recurrence, the campus will enhance its APR preparation and review process by implementing additional verification steps, including cross-referencing student-level APR data against PeopleSoft records and prior year APR submissions before final submission to the U.S. Department of Education.
