Finding Text

Late Determination of Withdrawal and Late Refund (R2T4)

Corrective Action Plan

This Finding was addressed by a retraining session held on October 15, 2024, during which staff and faculty discussed the reasons this Finding occurred. All parties were reminded that impartial SAP compliance monitors, and not faculty, will determine when a student should be administratively withdrawn for non-participation(un-offcial withdrawal), according to school policy. This will that un-official withdrawals will be addressed withing the quarter of attendance, and will ensure that R2T4 funds are returned within the regulated timeline. In addition, the institution is implementing an internal audit policy to test students at week eight or nine of the ten-week quarter who may be subject to an unoffical withdrawal. This will allow the Administration time to contact the student and administer forced withdrawal and, if needed, submit R2T4 within 45 days.
