Identifier Return Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE D, PART V, LINE 4   TEMPORARILY AND PERMANENTLY RESTRICTED ASSETS ARE INTENDED FOR FUNDING NEEDS BASED INSTITUTIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS.
SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2   The University is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). Any unrelated business income, as defined by Section 512(a)(1) of the Code is subject to income taxes. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require the Universitys management to evaluate tax positions taken by the University and recognize a tax liability if the University has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the University, and has concluded that as of June 30, 2013, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The University recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other institutional expenses. There were no Interest or penalties recognized in either of the years ended June 30, 2013 or 2012. The Universitys federal Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax (Form 990) for the years ended June 30, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are subject to examination by the IRS.

PART I, LINE 2 PROCEDURES FOR MONITORING THE USE OF GRANT FUNDS Annually tuition discount expenditures are projected and budgeted for the upcoming budget cycle. Projections are prepared by the Director of Student Administrative Services, delivered to the Director of Budget and submitted for approval to the Executive Vice President of Finance and the Board of Trustees. Various constituencies across campus are "allocated" a certain amount of funding to award to students, within the budgeted amounts. These awards are submitted to the Executive Vice President of Finance for approval and then routed to the Director of Student Administrative Services who then, through the Director of Financial Aid, oversees the packaging of these awards and integration with other financial aid awards to insure that no students with federal financial aid are over-awarded. Since these awards are tuition-based, they are posted to students' accounts each quarter once schedules are locked and total tuition amounts can be verified by the Director of Student Accounts and staff. Quarterly, the Director of Student Administrative Services compares actual expenses to budgeted amounts and alerts the budget manager of any potential overages. The budget is reviewed in each case to make sure overages will not cause fiscal issues. If it appears that they will, adjustments are recommended by the Director of Budget to the Executive Vice President of Finance.

The College of Chiropractic graduated a total of 287 doctors of chiropractic during the 2012-2013 fiscal year. Life University College of Chiropractic (LUCC) Doctor of Chiropractic Program reports annually on its planning through the university's Continuous Improvement Cycle (CIC) process administered through the Office of Institutional Effectiveness, Research and Planning. Formal planning and reporting is reviewed by an independent institutional committee, the Institutional Planning and Effectiveness Committee (IPEC), who assess the plan with its alignment to the mission and achievement of stated goals. Based upon the CIC plans and reports during the past two years the DCP accomplished the following: 1. Anatomy Lab Upgrade Project The DCP is currently exploring ways to either upgrade the current cadaver dissection-teaching lab or to change over to a state of the art virtual dissection-teaching lab. o A workgroup consisting of the anatomy instructors have been formed to brainstorm the layout of the new lab along with equipment needs. Discussions are also being had on whether the teaching methodologies would also change and if so how. o A cost analysis is being done to compare the expenses of maintaining a cadaver lab versus a virtual dissection lab. 2. Curricular Review The DCP is in the process of a curricular review that is being overseen by the Dean of the College of Chiropractic o The curricular review committee with faculty representation from all areas of the DCP continues to meet weekly to provide oversight and facilitation to the faculty subgroups. o A subgroup consisting of faculty representatives from all first quarter classes in the College of Chiropractic divisions was convened to develop the new concept-based courses for the first quarter. o A subgroup consisting of faculty representatives from all second quarter classes in the College of Chiropractic divisions will be convened in the spring to develop the new concept-based courses for the second quarter. o Faculty are currently training on the pedagogy related to the delivery of an integrated curriculum. 3. Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) OSCE: We have been using scannable forms since 2012 enabling us to better identify the areas that students are not competent and therefore we are able to bring the data to the instructors who are in the classroom.
