What is a management decision? →During testing of Unsubsidized loan disbursements, we noted that 1 of the 40 students tested had incorrect Unsubsidized loan disbursement dates reported to the COD system. Questioned Costs: None Context: Federal regulations require institutions to accurately report student financial aid disbursement dates to the COD system. These dates are critical for tracking compliance and ensuring proper administration of Title IV funds. Incorrect reporting can lead to discrepancies in federal records and potential compliance issues with U.S. Department of Education requirements. Cause: The University did not have a process in place to ensure student financial aid disbursement information was being accurately reported to the COD system. Effect or Potential Effect of Finding: Incorrect reporting of student financial aid disbursement dates may result in noncompliance with federal regulations, potential audit findings, and risk of inaccurate student financial aid records. Repeat Finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the University establish a process to ensure that all disbursement information is accurately reported to the COD system. Views of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

Common Origination & Disbursement (COD) Reporting Recommendation: We recommend the University establish a process to ensure that all disbursement information is accurately reported to the COD system. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The finding was ultimately caused by a syncing error of a batch job process that sends disbursement data to COD from our legacy (now retired) system that has since been replaced, as of October 2025. This was viewed as a one-off occurrence, not a broader systematic issue. The new system is better configured to accurately report disbursement information accurately. Further, Management has undergone a review of findings, and confirmed batch information is configured to send COD information accurately as of the finding notification date.

The school is required to report changes in the student’s enrollment status, the effective date of the status, and an anticipated completion date. Also, the Code of Federal Regulations, 34 CFR 682.610, states that institutions must report accurately the enrollment status of all students regardless if they receive aid from the institution or not. Changes to said status are required to be reported within 30 days of becoming aware of the status change, or with the next scheduled transmission of statuses if the scheduled transmission is within 60 days. There are two categories of enrollment information; "Campus Level" and "Program Level," both of which need to be reported accurately and have separate record types. Condition: During our testing, we noted the following errors in NSLDS recording: 1.) 2 out of 40 students had instances greater than 60 days where their records were not updated. Questioned Costs: None Context: Some updates to NSLDS were not completed in a timely manner. Cause: The University did not have a process in place to ensure all graduates had accurate information updated in NSLDS in a timely fashion. Effect or Potential Effect of Finding: The NSLDS system is not updated with the student information which can cause a student to not properly enter the repayment period. Repeat Finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the University review its reporting procedures to ensure the students’ statuses are accurately and timely reported to NSLDS as required by regulations. Views of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS) Enrollment Reporting Recommendation: We recommend the University review its reporting procedures to ensure the students’ statuses are accurately and timely reported to NSLDS as required by regulations. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: The reporting data wasn’t being sent timely to NSLDS, as a result of process and procedural changes at the University. With new personnel in positions and changing processes, management is confident in data feeding NSLDS within the 60 day period after thorough review of the process overall. This includes a remediation effort of IT data feeds to the NSLDS and the compilation of data. As the enrollment data is not sent on a daily/frequent basis, the next reporting cycle (coming month), the process will be investigated and triaged as necessary.

In addition, regulations require that an institution make necessary corrections and return the records within 10 days for any roster files that don’t pass the NSLDS enrollment reporting edits.

Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: We have implemented a secondary compliance check of student withdrawal dates. As the Registrar Assistant is notified of student withdrawals, the ‘Leave Date’ is entered into the Jenzabar/CX system. On a weekly basis, the Assistant Registrar will double check the withdrawal notice with the date in Jenzabar/CX. Performing this double check on a weekly basis should catch any incorrectly entered dates before they are transmitted to NSLDS. If an incorrectly entered date is found, the Assistant Registrar will notify the Director of Financial Aid, who will check NSLDS to further ensure the date has not been incorrectly included in enrollment reporting.
