Finding 1202935 (2025-001)

We acknowledge the finding 2025-001 regarding the untimely reporting to the NSLDS and understand the importance of adhering to the prescribed reporting timelines to ensure that student loan and grant information is accurate and up-to-date. We take this matter seriously and are committed to rectifying the situation as quickly as possible. Root Cause: It was discovered that the student records did not update correctly from the transmittal. Corrective Actions: - Transmit end of term file and degree verify file to National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). - After the file has been processed, we manually check each student record to ensure that the student's status is updated correctly. - After the next NSLDS report is processed by the NSC, we manually check each student record to ensure that the proper status has been reported to the NSLDS. Conclusion: We take the findings of the audit seriously and are committed to improving our processes and addressing the root causes of late reporting. The corrective actions outlined above are designed to prevent recurrence of this issue, ensure compliance with NSLDS reporting deadlines, and improve overall reporting accuracy and timeliness.
