The University acknowledges the finding and affirms its commitment to full compliance with federal enrollment reporting requirements.Following the prior-year finding, management implemented enhanced internal controls, including:Peer review of enrollment status reports prior to submission.Reconciliation of student status lists between the Registrar's Office and Financial Aid Office.Monitoring of submission confirmations to ensure successful transmission to NSLDS.Despite these controls, a programming error within the Student Information System (SIS) caused enrollment status change dates to become corrupted during the electronic transmission process from the SIS to the National Student Clearinghouse and subsequently to NSLDS. As a result, certain reported dates did not accurately reflect the actual effective date of the student's enrollment change. The issue was technical in nature and not the result of failure to perform the reporting process.

We observed that the Institution did not notify the Secretary through the NSLDS in a timely manner of the change in the enrollment status of one student with a federal loan during the fiscal year 2020-2021. Questioned Costs: No questioned costs were identified. Perspective Information: We examined the status change reporting of 20 students with federal loans during the fiscal year 2021. Effect: Failure to notify a change in enrollment status on time would preclude a lender from obtaining the necessary information in order to determine a student?s status for billing and other required procedures. Cause: The University?s student management system failed to timely record the withdrawal changes of those students and there were no monitoring procedures in place during that period due to the pandemic and government mandated lockdown. Recommendation: The Registrar?s Office should improve the procedures to ascertain the timely notification of any change in the status of students? recipients of Federal loans. Follow up procedures should be made to the implementation process of the Clearing House Enrolment Reporting System

Management response The Management of Universidad Adventista de las Antillas, Inc. acknowledges the finding and it was because during the pandemic we finished on December 15, 2020 and it was not until January 20 that we started classes again. We give a week of late enrollment for students to finish their process and then notify the National Student Clearinghouse and they in turn notify NSLDS. this brought us this finding as a consequence. Planned Correction Action the Registrar's Office should improve the procedures to ascertain the timely notification of any change in status of students recipients of Federal loans. Follow up procedures should be made to the implementation process of the Clearing Hour Enrollment Reporting System. Expected Completion Date Immediately. Actions Taken: We notified the Registry Office that they must make the change of notification dates to the National Clearinghouse. That at the beginning of each term they must notify the enrollment and therefore the students who have not enrolled or have not returned after the Christmas break. In this way avoid falling into finds.
