Enrollment Reporting Repeat Finding: No Condition: During our testing of enrollment reporting, we reviewed the enrollment changes for students during fiscal year 2022. We noted that for 2 out of the 25 students selected, the institution reported the change in enrollment status 186 days after the date of determination. Criteria: Uniform Guidance requires that the institution report enrollment information under the Pell grant and the Direct and FFEL loan programs via the NSLDS. Institutions must review, update, and verify student enrollment statuses, program information, and effective dates that appear on the Enrollment Reporting Roster file or on the Enrollment Maintenance page of the NSLDS Professional Access. Institutions are responsible for timely reporting, whether they report directly or via a third-party servicer. Institutions must complete and return within 15 days the Enrollment Reporting roster file placed in their Student Aid Internet Gateway (SAIG) (OMB No. 1845-0002) mailboxes sent by ED via NSLDS. An institution determines how often it receives the Enrollment Reporting roster file with the default set at a minimum of every 60 days. Once received, the institution must update for changes in the data elements for the Campus Record and the Program Record identified above, and submit the changes electronically through the batch method, spreadsheet submittal, or the NSLDS website. Cause: The University did not report the enrollment change in NSLDS timely. Effect: The University did not report the enrollment change timely. Questioned Costs: None.Recommendation: We recommend that the University establish procedures to ensure that enrollment changes are reported timely to NSLDS. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding. Refer to the Corrective Action Plan for management?s approach to correct the finding.
