The University did not notify the student or parent of the student's direct loan disbursement in a timely manner (i.e. within seven days after crediting the student's account) for three students in our sample of 25 students. The sample was not a statistically valid sample. Questioned Costs: There are no questioned costs associated with this finding. Cause: The University did not follow its formal procedures and processes in place specific to notifying students or parents of direct loan disbursements in a timely manner. Effect: If the University does not follow its formal procedures and processes in place to ensure timely notification of direct loan disbursements to students or parents, the student or parent may not know about the student's account being credited. Recommendation: The University should update and enhance its formal procedures for employees to follow to ensure that students or parents are notified timely of any direct loan disbursements. Management Response: Management agrees with the finding. At least once per week, loan disbursements are reviewed and notification letters are generated and mailed. The University also implemented or enhanced additional steps to ensure the seven day requirement is met.

The University did not notify the NSLDS in a timely manner for two graduated students in our sample of 25. The sample was not a statistically valid sample. Questioned Costs: There are no questioned costs associated with this finding. Cause: The University failed to follow its procedures for reporting student status changes. Effect: The accuracy of Title IV student loan records depends heavily on the accuracy of the enrollment information reported by schools. If an institution does not review, update, and verify student enrollment statuses, effective dates of the enrollment status, and the anticipated completion dates, then the Title IV student loan records will be inaccurate in NSLDS. Recommendation: The University should revise its procedures to verify with NSLDS that all enrollment status information is updated accurately and timely. Management Response: Management agrees with the finding. The University has developed new procedures for individuals within the Registrar's office to review reports of recent graduates monthly to verify that all graduates have been appropriately updated with the NSLDS.

RE: Finding 2021-002 ? Special Tests and provisions; Student Status Changes Condition: The University did not notify the NSLDS in a timely manner for two graduated students in a sample of 25. Corrective Action Plan At the end of each semester (fall, spring, summer), the final ?subsequent of term? submission is processed for the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) which includes a G (graduated) status for all students who have conferred their degree during that semester. As the previous Assistant Registrar for Registration has retired, the Assistant Registrar for Records will be assigned an NSC login. In cases where students confer their degree after the subsequent of term submission, and are not enrolled at the University (e.g., transfer coursework, completion of degree requirements at co-op universities), the Assistant Registrar for Records will submit the graduated status to NSC. Furthermore, a report to include recent graduates will be produced when the monthly submission to the NSC is being prepared to verify the graduates have been updated to a graduate status. If the status has not been updated, it will be processed at that time. The Assistant Registrar for Records, Kerry Purnell, and/or the Registrar, Vicki Wilson, will be responsible for the updates to the graduated status.
