MATERIAL WEAKNESSMODIFIED OPINION

The District did not have procedures in place to ensure change in enrollment information was accurately being reported to the Department of Education within the required timeframe. Context: A sample of 37 students revealed 23 instances in which the District reported a different graduation date to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) than District records were reporting. A sample of 37 students revealed 6 instances in which the District did not certify specific student data within the required 60 day timeframe to NSLDS. Effect: The District was not in compliance with enrollment reporting to the NSLDS for students who had graduated and the District was not in compliance with the timely reporting requirements for NSLDS reporting. Cause: The District?s policies and procedures did not include proper internal controls over compliance to ensure that these requirements were being met. Questioned costs: The questioned costs are undeterminable and more likely than not would be clearly trivial, and therefore, there are no questioned costs. Recommendation: We recommend the District implement procedures to strictly comply with requirements of 34 CFR 685.309 and 34 CFR 682.610 as it relates to the student enrollment status date information reported to the NSLDS and timely reporting requirements. Response: The District was closed approximately two weeks during the 2018-19 school year because of adverse weather conditions. The unusually high number of absences resulted in the adult students having to make up several days of classroom instruction and clinical experience. This caused some confusion in terms of scheduled verses actual graduation dates for the adult student programs. Enrollment reporting to NSLDS is a shared responsibility between Hillyard and Campus Ivy. Hillyard staff will reevaluate and work to improve the process of communicating each student?s last day of attendance to Campus Ivy.

Special Testing ? Enrollment Reporting Criteria: The U.S. Department of Education requires the District to update changes in student enrollment status, report the date the enrollment status was effective, and submit changes electronically with the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) website in accordance with 34 CFR 682.610 and 34 CFR 685.309. Enrollment information must be reported within 30 days whenever attendance changes for students, unless a roster will be submitted within 60 days. Institutions are responsible for timely reporting, whether they report directly or via a third-party servicer. Condition: The District did not have procedures in place to ensure change in enrollment information was accurately being reported to the Department of Education within the required timeframe. Context: A sample of 37 students revealed 23 instances in which the District reported a different graduation date to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) than District records were reporting. A sample of 37 students revealed 6 instances in which the District did not certify specific student data within the required 60 day timeframe to NSLDS. Effect: The District was not in compliance with enrollment reporting to the NSLDS for students who had graduated and the District was not in compliance with the timely reporting requirements for NSLDS reporting. Cause: The District?s policies and procedures did not include proper internal controls over compliance to ensure that these requirements were being met. Questioned costs: The questioned costs are undeterminable and more likely than not would be clearly trivial, and therefore, there are no questioned costs. Recommendation: We recommend the District implement procedures to strictly comply with requirements of 34 CFR 685.309 and 34 CFR 682.610 as it relates to the student enrollment status date information reported to the NSLDS and timely reporting requirements. Response: The District was closed approximately two weeks during the 2018-19 school year because of adverse weather conditions.

MATERIAL WEAKNESSMODIFIED OPINION

The District improperly disbursed Direct Student Loan funds exceeding the aggregate loan limits for unsubsidized loans. Context: 1 of the 37 students that we sampled had unsubsidized Direct Student Loan funds disbursed over the aggregate amount of $31,000 for dependent students. Effect: The District was not in compliance with disbursing unsubsidized Direct Student Loan funds within the aggregate limit. Cause: The District?s policies and procedures did not include proper internal controls over compliance to ensure that this requirement was being met. Questioned costs: None, as the over awarded amount has already been refunded to the U.S. Department of Education. Recommendation: We recommend the District implement procedures to strictly comply with requirements of 34 CFR 685.203 as it relates to loan limits for Direct Student Loans. . Response: The improper disbursement was an isolated case which is normally prevented within regular processing parameters by the third party processor. Campus Ivy also failed to alert Hillyard staff to the over award. Hillyard is currently monitoring the aggregate subsidized and unsubsidized loan limits of borrowers to safeguard against this error in the future.

The District records did not match Common Origination and Disbursement (COD) System actual disbursement dates and amounts. Context: 8 of the 37 students that we sampled had different dates reported to the COD system than what District records reported. Effect: The District was not in compliance with reporting actual disbursement dates and amounts to the COD system. Cause: The District?s policies and procedures did not include proper internal controls over compliance to ensure that this requirement was being met. Questioned costs: None. Recommendation: We recommend the District implement procedures to strictly comply with requirements of 34 CFR 685.301(a) as it relates to reporting actual disbursement dates and amounts. Response: Financial reporting guidelines are described in sections 4 and 11 of the Financial Aid Policies and Procedures Manual. Campus Ivy generates a disbursement roster that is used to update COD disbursement dates and amounts. The records are then posted by Hillyard staff, using the same dates and amounts as shown on the roster batch. The ledger postings are subsequently reviewed as part of the monthly reconciliation process. Campus Ivy also performs monthly reconciliations, as well as quarterly random audits of selected student accounts. Any differences discovered when comparing the student ledgers with Campus Ivy internal systems and COD are corrected. Hillyard staff will further examine the process to determine why several individual discrepancies went undetected.

The District?s current policies and procedures that constitute the District?s internal control over compliance allowed noncompliance with various compliance requirements of the Federal Direct Student Loans Program, CFDA No 84.268, the Federal Pell Grant Program, CFDA No 84.063 and the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (FSEOG), CFDA No 84.007, which are parts of the Student Financial Assistance Cluster of programs. These instances of noncompliance have been documented in findings 2019-002 through 2019-005. Criteria: Internal controls over compliance should ensure that the various compliance requirements of each federal program are being met by the District. Effect: Risk is present that instances of noncompliance may occur and not be detected and corrected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. Cause: Current policies and procedures resulted in an insufficient number of adequately trained personnel being involved in the process of meeting various filing and reporting requirements for federal grants. Recommendation: We recommend that the District implement procedures in order to strictly comply with all compliance requirements. Response: The District contracted with Campus Ivy, a third-party servicer, hired an experienced financial aid professional, developed a policies and procedures manual, financial aid handbook, and sent current employees to financial aid training conferences in order to satisfy compliance requirements related to student financial aid administration.
