A Report on
State of Texas Compliance with Federal Requirements for the
Student Financial Assistance Cluster for the Fiscal Year Ended August 31, 2013
SAO Report No. 14-021
Those higher education institutions were Lamar Institute of Technology,
Lamar State College - Orange, Lamar University, Texas State Technical
College - Harlingen, Texas Tech University, the Texas Tech University
Health Sciences Center, the University of Houston, the University of
Texas at Arlington, and the University of Texas at Austin.
> Texas State Technical College - Waco and Texas State Technical College
- West Texas calculated all students' cost to attend those higher
education institutions based on full-time enrollment, regardless of the
number of course hours in which students actually enrolled.
Determining students' cost to attend using full-time enrollment costs
for students who attend less than full-time increases the risk of
overawarding financial assistance.
> Six higher education institutions audited awarded Student Financial
Assistance Cluster funds to students who were not eligible to receive
that assistance. Those higher education institutions were Lamar
University, Texas A&tM University, Texas State Technical College - Waco,
Texas Tech University, the University of Texas at Arlington, and the
University of Texas at Austin.
> Four higher education institutions audited did not consistently follow
their processes to determine students' academic progress or did not
have adequate processes to determine whether students made
satisfactory academic progress to be eligible for financial assistance.
Those higher education institutions were Texas State Technical College
- Harlingen, Texas State Technical College - Waco, Texas State
Technical College - West Texas, and the Texas Tech University Health
Sciences Center.

requirements for the Student Financial Assistance Cluster.
Fifteen higher education institutions audited did not accurately verify all
required information on students' financial assistance applications and/or did
not always correct Institutional Student Information Records when required.
Those higher education institutions were Lamar Institute of Technology, Lamar
State College - Orange, Lamar University, Sam Houston State University, Texas
A&tM University, Texas State Technical College - Harlingen, Texas State
Technical College - Waco, Texas State Technical College - West Texas, Texas
Tech University, the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, the
