REPEAT OF 2023-002OTHER MATTERS

The College did not maintain loan records in the manner set forth in 34 CFR 674.19.(e). (Other Instance of Noncompliance) Question Costs: None Context: Although Perkins loans are no longer being disbursed, there are continuing compliance requirements. During testing of Perkins loan record keeping and record retention, 4 out of 16 outstanding loan selections and 1 out of 5 retired/assign loan selections did not have records of the related master promissory note (MPN). From a population of 157 outstanding loans, 16 were selected for testing. Errors consisted of 4 students for which the College did not have records of the MPN. Additionally, from a population of 5 retired/assigned loans, 5 were selected for testing. An error consisted of 1 student for which the College did not have record of the MPN. Our sample selection was not, and was not intended to be statistically valid. Effect: The College does not have documentation of MPNs for the errors identified. Cause: The MPNs for these students were not able to be located in Perkins loan files. Repeat Finding: Yes Recommendation: The College should revisit the record retention for student related files, particularly those that relate to federal compliance requirements. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The College agrees with the comment and has developed a plan to correct the finding. The College will examine the document destruction date on student related files related to federal compliance requirements to ensure accuracy of the document destruction date and accuracy of student files.

Corrective Action Plan

Contact Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Tina Hickman, Registrar Contact Phone Number: 740-376-4740 Views of Responsible Official: The condition noted is accurate, impacting select May 2020 graduates whose status was not updated to graduated in a timely manner. 1 record was the result of an unusual pattern of completion but the remaining were, as noted in the conditions, failure to report within the 60-day window due to delay on my part as the sole campus contact with knowledge and access for said reporting. Description of Correction Action Plan: The assistant registrar has now been fully trained to manage enrollment reporting via the National Student Clearinghouse as well as on enrollment corrections procedures. I continue to be available as a back-up and for assistance as needed. this transition was planned prior to the finding as an effort to reduce my workload but was delayed with the pandemic resulted in the Records Office staff moving to remote work. Additionally, our financial aid director will provide quality checks of the reported data. Finally, the Records Office procedure manual outlining the reporting process has been updated to reflect the changes in reporting graduated status resulting from the move to program-level enrollment reporting. Anticipated Completion Date: Completed 12/23/2020
