Management agrees with the current year’s finding and recommendations to ensure timeliness of the Return of Title IV funds. Management has determined this to be an isolated incident because the Registrar dropped the student on May 9, 2024, following an investigation into the disparity between the student’s self-reported last date of attendance, March 14, 2024, and the receipt of the form on April 15, 2024. Accordingly, May 9, 2024, became the institution’s determination date due to unknown last date of attendance from the faculty. Furthermore, the University offices were closed at 1pm on April 22, 2024, and closed entirely on April 23, 24, 29, 30. The investigation and University closures took the office outside the 45-day compliance requirement. The University plans to enhance the policy for LOA and Withdrawal forms to have the Last Date of Attendance removed as a student self-reported option. In the future, the determination date will be based on date of receipt of the form and not a student-reported, last date of attendance. We believe this finding will be remediated in fiscal 2025.
