May colleges receive CE reimbursement for third party contract instruction for contracts with companies, i.e., ED2Go?
Yes, as long as the college fulfills its complete responsibility as stated in Coordinating Board rules Chapter 9 Subchapter G. Contractual Agreements 9.123 and maintains consistency with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) criteria. Colleges must be in SOLE and DIRECT CONTROL of their instructional offerings, particularly third-party contract courses, and will be held directly accountable for verifying that all instructional quality standards are met for any contact hours reported for formula funding. The Coordinating Board’s view of third-party contract instruction is that it imposes greater responsibility on the college not less. If in doubt, do not report the courses for funding.
