AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The School did not report student status changes to NSLDS on time for 8 out of 25 students, leading to compliance failures.
  • Impacted Requirements: Timely updates for graduation or withdrawal statuses and correction of error records within specified timeframes were not met.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Improve policies and procedures to ensure all status changes and error corrections are submitted promptly to NSLDS.

Finding Text

Federal Program Information: Student Financial Assistance Cluster (ALN: Various) Criteria or Specific Requirement (Including Statutory, Regulatory or Other Citation): N. Enrollment Reporting ? The School is required to update students? statuses on the National Student Loans Data System (?NSLDS?) website if they graduate, withdraw or drop to less than half-time status during the fiscal year within 30 days of the date the School becomes aware of the change in enrollment status. Additionally, institutions are responsible for timely reporting, whether they report directly or via a third-party servicer. As with any school/servicer arrangement for the administration of the Title IV programs, if the school uses a third party to meet the NSLDS enrollment reporting requirements it is the school that must ensure that enrollment information is submitted timely, accurately, and completely. According to the Federal Student Aid Handbook, schools are required to certify enrollment for all students who are included on their roster file scheduled at least every two months, and within 15 days of the date that NSLDS sends a roster file to the school or its third-party servicer. Any errors identified and returned by NSLDS in an Error/Acknowledgement file should be corrected and resubmitted within 10 days. Condition: The School failed to submit timely notification to the NSLDS website for a certain students who graduated or withdrew during the year. Additionally, the School?s fiscal year Error/Acknowledgement report, included multiple instances in which error records were not corrected within the required timeframe. Cause: Lack of administrative oversight with respect to enrollment reporting requirements. Effect: The School is not in compliance with enrollment reporting compliance requirements. Questioned Costs: None. Context: For 8 of 25 students selected for testing, the School failed to submit the student?s graduated or withdrawn status to NSLDS within the required timeframe. Additionally, error records identified in Error/Acknowledgment files were not corrected within the required timeframe, resulting in multiple errors during the 2022 fiscal year. Identification as a Repeat Finding: No similar findings noted in the prior year. Recommendation: We recommend that the School enhance its policies and procedures to ensure that all status changes are submitted to the NSLDS website within the required timeframe and error records are corrected and submitted timely.

Corrective Action Plan

Name of Responsible Individual: Cinnamon Bradley, Associate Dean of Student Affairs Corrective Action: We concur. We understand that student status changes must be reported to our third-party servicer NSLDS within 30 days of the student?s enrollment change. In some cases, the student?s status change did not occur timely. We will review our system parameters and reporting to ensure timely notification of the student enrollment status changes. Additionally, we will automate manual processes related to enrollment change notifications to ensure timely notification of the student?s status change to the Registrar?s Office. Anticipated Completion Date: January 31, 2023
