Federal Direct Student Loans Award Period: July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022 Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and Other Matters Criteria or Specific Requirement: The Code of Federal Regulations, 34 CFR 668.22(f)(2)(i), states that scheduled breaks of at least five consecutive days are excluded from the total number of calendar days in a payment period or period of enrollment and the number of calendar days completed in that period. Condition: During our testing, we noted 2 of the 8 individuals tested had used an incorrect withdrawal date. The students withdrew in between semesters therefore they should have had a withdrawal date from the previous semester; however, College reported a different date. Questioned Costs: None Context: During our testing, we noted the College had used the incorrect withdrawal date based on the student's reported date as the student withdrew in between semesters. Cause: The College used the incorrect withdrawal date thus students were incorrectly reported. Effect: The College is not completing accurate R2T4 calculations as defined by the regulations. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend the College review the R2T4 requirements and implement procedures to ensure the R2T4 calculations are using the correct withdrawal date and are accurately completed. View of Responsible Official: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
