SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYREPEAT OF 2024-001

Incorrect or untimely reporting by the University of students’ changes in status during the 2024-2025 award year under audit. Criteria: The Code of Federal Regulations, 34 CFR 682.610, states that institutions must report accurately the enrollment status of all students regardless of whether they receive aid from the institution or not. This includes the enrollment effective date and related enrollment status, which must be reported for both the campus-level and the program-level as well as the program begin date. Cause: Lack of appropriate policy and procedure in place regarding NSLDS enrollment reporting for the year under audit. Context: This condition occurred for 5 out of 25 samples selected for testing. This was reported as a material weakness in the prior year audit. While improvements were made, the University still incorrectly reported student statuses. Effect: Non-compliance with federal regulations which could lead to untimely and incorrect reporting of enrollment information to NSLDS. Repeat Finding: Yes Recommendation: We recommend that the University revisit its corrective action and review their enrollment reporting policies and procedures to ensure accurate reporting. Views of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

The univeristy has already provided timely updates of enrollment status to NSLDS every 30-60 days. Additionally, once enrollment status are updated, the Director of Financial Aid will receive the updated enrollment report and will certify that the statuses have been accurately reflected. These reports will be securely maintained by the office of administration.
