Finding Text

Criteria: The Code of Federal Regulations 34 CFR 690.83(b)(2), 34 CFR 682.610, 34 CFR 685.309, and 34 CFR 674.19 require institutes review, update, and certify student enrollment reporting roster on timely and accurate basis at both the campus and program level. Enrollment roster should be certified every 60 days or every other month. Condition and Context: We reviewed 6 in-scope campuses and a sample of 40 students who graduated, withdrew, or had a change in enrollment during the fiscal year. Of the 40 students tested, 6 students’ enrollment were not certified within the required 60 days period. Cause and Effect: The campus experienced major personnel changes in the registrar office and did not have adequate staffing in place to monitor the required procedures.
