2022-001: Improper Reporting of Enrollment Status?s to the National Student Clearinghouse - Student Financial Aid Cluster -Assistance Listing Number 84.007, 84.033, 84.063, and 84.268 - Year Ended June 30, 2022 Criteria: According to 34 CFR 685.309 (b), schools must update enrollment data for students and report to the Secretary in a manner of prescribed format within the required timeframe of sixty days after a student has graduated, ceased attendance or enrolled less than half-time. Condition: During our Enrollment Status Changes testing, we selected forty students for our sample. In our sample of forty we tested twenty graduated students to verify that they were reported within sixty days and we tested twenty current students to note that their student status is reported correctly. We noted that the College did not submit two of the forty students to the Clearinghouse website. We consider this finding to be an instance of noncompliance relating to the Reporting Compliance Requirement. Statistical sampling was not used in making sample selections. Questioned Costs: $0 Effect: A student who was three quarter time and another that was half time for the Fall 2021 term were not reported to the National Student Clearinghouse. Cause: While the College was reporting to the Clearinghouse, they made the error of not reporting two students enrollment. Recommendation: We recommend the College continue to work with the department responsible for the enrollment status submissions to ensure that accurate reporting to the National Student Clearinghouse continues. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with this finding and response is included in Corrective Action Plan.
