To be considered successfully closed out, which action must a school complete?

• A. Exhausted all campus-based funding allocations.
• B. Submit all financial records to COD for final reconciliation.
• C. Complete an exit interview with COD.
• D. Complete the balance confirmation form on the COD website.

Answer: (D)

The action tested is completing the balance confirmation form on the COD website. In the COD closeout process, this form is the formal step where the school confirms its remaining account balances and verifies that all disbursements, returns, and adjustments are settled. Once the balance is confirmed, COD can finalize the school’s status and stop further disbursement activity. Other steps aren’t the required closeout action. Exhausting all campus-based funding allocations isn’t what closes the record, since some funds may be unspent or returned outside of a required balance confirmation. Submitting all financial records to COD for final reconciliation isn’t the issued final step to mark closure, as COD relies on the balance confirmation to lock in the final numbers. An exit interview with COD isn’t part of the standard closeout requirement either.
