Recommendation Details
Text of Recommendation
We recommend that the Chief Operating Officer for Federal Student Aid require the University of Southern California to review its records for the 1,474 students who received a Pell disbursement and whose applications were selected for verification for award year 2017–2018 but were not included in our sample and determine whether it has records to support that verification of applicant data was completed in accordance with Federal requirements. If not, require the university to identify the amount of Title IV funds that were improperly disbursed to students and correct any improper payments, and ensure that verification results were reported to Federal Student Aid.
