CFDA Number, Federal Agency, and Program Name Student Financial Aid Cluster (Federal Pell Grant Program 84.063, Federal Direct Student Loans 84.268) Federal Award Identification Number and Year 84.063 and 84.268, 2020 Pass through Entity N/A Finding Type Significant deficiency Repeat Finding No Criteria Under the Direct Loan programs (Direct Loan, 34 CFR Section 685.309) and Federal PELL (Pell, 34 CFR Section 690.83(b)(2)), changes in a student's status are required to be reported to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) within 30 days of the change or included in a student status confirmation report sent to NSLDS within 60 days of the status change. Condition Of the 40 students selected for status change testing, 1 of those students did not have their status change reported in a timely manner. Questioned Costs None Identification of How Questioned Costs Were Computed N/A Context Of the 40 students selected for enrollment reporting testing, 1 student did not have their status change updated appropriately. Cause and Effect At the end of each semester, the University reviews documentation for applicable students to approve degree completion and graduation. The University submits weekly status changes for these graduated students for approximately six weeks following the end of the semester. Subsequent to that period, the University will submit a status change for a graduated student upon notification from within the records and registration department for any student that subsequently completes their degree requirements. In this instance, the student's degree completion occurred after the weekly reporting of graduated students had ceased, and notification was not received regarding the degree completion. As such, the records and registration department was not aware that the student's status change was incomplete. Recommendation The University should implement a procedure to review graduation dates for those students with completion subsequent to the six week period following the end of the semester. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan We concur. Management will add a weekly degree conferral status review subsequent to the last standard degree conferral date for a term to identify and update late degree conferrals.
