Special Tests and Provision: Enrollment Reporting: Accuracy in Reporting of Campus and Program Level Record Data to NSLDS, Untimely Certification of Enrollment Status
Accuracy in Reporting Program Level Record Data to NSLDS
We noted that 15 of 15 students selected for enrollment reporting testing had discrepancies in the published program length reported on the NSLDS Program Level Details page compared to the length published on the Institution’s official website. Specifically, students enrolled in the "Machine Tool Technology/Machinist" program exhibited a published program length of 7 years within NSLDS, whereas the institution's website specifies a program duration of 9 months or 905 hours.
Accuracy in Reporting Campus Level Record Data to NSLDS
We noted that 2 of 15 students selected for enrollment reporting testing had inconsistent enrollment information in Campus Level Record Data in NSLDS. For 1 of the 2 students, the Institution erroneously reported an incorrect date of Graduation in NSLDS. The date reported was the start date of the enrollment period, instead of the last date of attendance of the student. For the remaining 1, the Institution erroneously reported a “withdrawn” status in NSLDS, however, the student graduated on May 20, 2024. No return of Title IV funds was noted, however, the status reported in NSLDS is still inaccurate.
Untimely Certification of Enrollment Status
We noted 10 of 15 students selected for enrollment reporting testing were not certified within 60 days from the date of enrollment change. The institution has certified the students identified only after 72 days to 325 days, which is 12 days to 265 days late.
