Context Out of a sample of six students that officially or unofficially withdrew with Federal Aid, the University used the incorrect number of days in the calculation for four students. Effect Return of Title IV Funds calculations were incorrect for four students. Cause The University used the incorrect number of days in the calculation for four students due to failing to exclude scheduled breaks over 5 days in the total semester days. Recommendation The University should establish a review system to verify that the number of semester days utilized in Return of Funds calculations is determined correctly.

Corrective Action Plan

Action Taken: Brescia University will establish a review system to verifiy the number of semester days utilized in return of funds calculations by instituting a double check system. The double check will be completed by a senior financial aid counselor (other than the director) to ensure accurate dates are being used.
