Finding Text
2022-005 ? Timeliness of Student Status Changes Finding Type. Immaterial Noncompliance/Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance (Special Tests and Provisions). Program. Student Financial Aid Cluster; CFDA Numbers 84.007, 84.033, 84.063, 84.268. Criteria. The Uniform Guidance Compliance Supplement provides guidance that a University should report status changes to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) within 30 days whenever a student's attendance changes, unless a roster will be submitted within 60 days. Condition. We noted that four students out of a testing population of 17 were not reported timely to NSLDS. Cause. This condition appears to have been caused by staff at the University not submitting reports to the NSLDS in regular intervals. Effect. As a result of this condition, the University reported four students whose status was reduced from full-time to three-quarter time to the NSLDS after the 60 day deadline. Questioned Costs. No costs have been questioned as a result of this finding inasmuch as no unallowable costs have been identified. Recommendation. We recommend that the College implement procedures to report status changes for all students on a timely basis and to maintain documented procedures for enrollment reporting to prevent untimely reporting in the future. View of Responsible Officials. Management agrees with the finding. See corrective action plan.
