Federal Program: U.S. Department of Education Student Financial Assistance Cluster: Federal Direct Student Loans, Federal Assistance Listing 84.268 Criteria: The University is required to comply with 36 CFR 685.309(b). Condition: During our testing of 40 students for NSLDS enrollment, we noted eight students' enrollment effective date was the commencement date instead of the last day of the term. One student's graduation status was not reported to the NSLDS and one student's graduation was not certified to the NSLDS within the 60-day requirement. Cause: The University did not have controls in place to ensure students' classification were being properly reported to the NSLDS or reported in a timely manner. Effect: There were ten student status changes that were either not reported, not reported accurately, or not reported within the required timeframe under federal regulations. The provisions of 34 CFR Section 685.309(b) were not followed and thus, students were subsequently not placed into loan repayment status in a timely manner. Questioned Costs: There were no questioned costs associated with this finding. Recommendation: We recommend that the University implement a control to ensure data is being reviewed for accuracy by the appropriate personnel before roster files are submitted to the NSLDS. In addition, we recommend that the University submit roster files on a regular basis. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: We agree with this finding and recommendation. The Director of Institutional Research will report the last day of the term for NSLDS reporting. Responsible Parties: Margaret Sidle, Director of Institutional research Completion Date: March 4, 2026
