Are there any cases whereby colleges may receive formula funding for CE courses with fewer than seven (7) contact hours?
Yes. This is referenced in Coordinating Board rules Chapter 9, Subchapter F, Rule 9.115 (b). Workforce continuing education courses with fewer than seven (7) contact hours of instruction will not receive state funding unless the specific type and length of instruction are required by local, state, or national licensing, certifying, regulatory, or accrediting agencies. If the course is not in the WECM, then colleges must submit a Local Need application.
