Management decision deadline — for entities that funded this organization
The FAC accepted this audit on September 5, 2025. Under 2 CFR 200.521(d), a pass-through entity that provided federal funds to this organization for this audit period must issue a management decision on these findings by March 5, 2026 (180 days ago).
What is a management decision? →For all students who went on a Regular Academic Hiatus, 202 students in total, withdrawal status was reported as the day the student officially withdrew, instead of the date the student began the Regular Academic Hiatus. A Regular Academic Hiatus is a leave of absence that does not meet the requirements of 34 CRF 668.22(d). Questioned Cost: $-0- Cause: The University did not have the proper internal controls in place to ensure that the students who took a Regular Academic Hiatus were reported as withdrawn to National Loan Student Database System. Effect: The enrollment status for students who took a Regular Academic Hiatus were incorrect during the time of their hiatus. Recommendation: We recommend the University update their reporting procedures for students who take a Regular Academic Hiatus to ensure that accurate withdrawal dates are properly reported to the National Loan Student Database System. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: The University concurs with this finding and will implement oversight procedures to ensure the enrollment status for students taking a Regular Academic Hiatus are reported timely to the National Loan Student Database System.

Per 34 CFR 685.309(b)(2)(i), unless the school expects to submit its next enrollment report within 60 days, the school must notify the lender or the guaranty agency within 30 days if it discovers that a student who received a loan either did not enroll or ceased to be enrolled on at least a half-time basis. Condition: For all students who went on a Regular Academic Hiatus, 202 students in total, withdrawal status was reported as the day the student officially withdrew, instead of the date the student began the Regular Academic Hiatus. A Regular Academic Hiatus is a leave of absence that does not meet the requirements of 34 CRF 668.22(d).

Finding: The enrollment statuses in the National Student Loan Data System for students who took a Regular Academic Hiatus were incorrect during the time of their hiatus. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: FNU will change the reported enrollment status of all students on a regular Academic Hiatus (AH) from “Enrolled” to “Leave of Absence (LOA)” in the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). Note that both status types indicate an enrolled status per NSC. To support this change, FNU will revise its internal procedures to ensure that students on a regular AH are coded as “Leave” in the Student Learning Management System. This status accurately reflects a temporary interruption in their program of study and aligns with enrollment reporting requirements. We will strengthen training for all staff involved in enrollment status reporting to ensure consistent understanding and proper implementation of the updated procedures. We believe these steps are important for improving the accuracy of our reporting and staying in compliance with federal student aid requirements.

Timely reporting of withdrawn student to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). Criteria: Per 34 CFR 685.309, unless the school expects to complete its next enrollment report within 60 days, the school must notify the lender or the guaranty agency within 30 days, if it discovers that a student who received a loan either did not enroll or ceased to be enrolled on at least a half-time basis. The school is responsible for timely reporting whether they report directly or via a third-party servicer. Cause: The University did not have a control in place to ensure that timely reporting of withdrawal status changes is occurring. Effect: Without notification, the NSLDS is not timely updated of change in status for students who have withdrawn or graduated. Timely notification allows the NSLDS to determine when a student enters repayment status. Context: Out of a sample of 37 students who had withdrawn, 1 student was not reported timely to the National Student Loan Data System (NSLDS). Recommendation: We recommend that internal controls be established to verify that students who have received a loan and ceased enrollment are reported to the guaranty agency within a timely manner. Views of the University and planned corrective action: The University agrees with this finding and summary. The University did not have sufficient control measures in place to ensure that every student?s change in enrollment status was reported to NSLDS in a timely manner. To improve the University?s Title IV regulatory compliance and to ensure that all changes in students? enrollment status are correctly reported to NSLDS in a timely manner, the Director of Enrollment Management and Financial Aid will continue to report a withdrawn student directly to NSLDS within 30 days of a student withdrawing from the University and the Associate Director of Financial Aid will review NSLDS once notification of a students? withdrawal has been received to ensure the withdrawn status has been reported timely. Responsible parties: Rainie Boggs, Director of Enrollment Management and Financial Aid and Andrew Dezarn, Associate Director of Financial Aid Estimated completion date: August 15, 2022
