Operational Provisions for Texas Public
Junior Colleges 251.02.17
The Coordinating Board, Texas College and University
System, is proposing to amend Rule 251.02.17.013, prescrib-
ing the reporting requirements for state reimbursement to
public community/junior colleges. On April 22, 1977, the
Coordinating Board adopted Rule 251.02.17.013, revising the
procedures for the reporting of contact hours for state reim-
bursement purposes by public community/junior colleges.
The colleges were expected to keep their 1977-78 records and
prepare their reports to the Coordinating Board in accord-
ance with the rule. Since the adoption of the April rule, the
State Auditor's Office has initiated an audit procedure which
differs from the Coordinating Board rule and institutional
practices. The proposed revision of Rule :013 is to assure that
the board's rule and the institutions' practices conform to the
new auditing procedures of the State Auditor's Office.
The staff of the Coordinating Board has determined that
there are no fiscal implications for the state or any unit of
local government that would result from this amendment.
Public comment on the proposed amendment of Rule
251.02.17.013 is invited. Comments may be submitted for a
period of 30 days from the date of publication by telephoning
the office of the Coordinating Board at (512) 475-4361 or by
writing to the Coordinating Board at P.O. Box 12788, Austin,
Texas 78711.
The amendment of Rule 251.02.17.013 is proposed under the
authority of Section 61.062, Vernon's Texas Codes Anno-
tated..013. Reporting for State Reimbursement Purposes.
(a) Attendance records will be maintained by the
community college on all students in all classes through
two full weeks following the dates for reporting official
enrollments.
(b) Contact hours credit will be given for all stu-
dents in attendance on the official reporting date pro-
vided that all other legal requirements are met.
(c) The state auditor will examine attendance
records for the two weeks following the official reporting
date for any student not present on the official reporting
day.
(d) The contact hours associated with any student
who attends at least one day during that two-week period
will be eligible for inclusion if that student has attended
at least one time prior to the official reporting day, pro-
vided the class has met by the official reporting day and
provided that all other legal requirements are met. Any
student who is not in attendance on the official reporting
day and does not attend at least one class session during
the subsequent two weeks will be disallowed, unless the
institution can provide specific evidence that the student
was in fact in regular attendance for the remainder of the
semester and had met all other legal requirements.
(e) For purposes of definition, the official reporting
day also means the last previous meeting of a class not
scheduled to meet on the official reporting day. The offi-
cial reporting dates are those dates specified in the
Educational Data Reporting System for Public Com-
munity Colleges.
[Contact hours generated by any student who has not been in
attendance between the official date of his registration and
the official date for reporting enrollment for that class shall
not be counted for appropriation or state reimbursement pur-
poses. Contact hours generated by any student who has with-
drawn or been withdrawn by the college from a class prior to
the official reporting date for that class shall not be counted
for appropriation or state reimbursement purposes. Contact
hours generated by a student enrolling after the last class
meeting prior to the official reporting date but prior to such
reporting date shall be counted for state reimbursement pro-
vided the student attends the next scheduled class rneeting.l

Procedures and Criteria for Funding of Family
Practice Residency Programs 251.03.05
The Coordinating Board, Texas College and University
System, is proposing to adopt Rules 251.03.05.001-.009 on the
procedures and criteria for funding family practice residency
programs. The Family Practice Residency Advisory Commit-
tee proposed at the board's October meeting to recommend
procedures and criteria for funding family practice residency
programs for action by the board in January. In order to allo-
cate the 20 percent ($170,540) of the fiscal year 1978 ap-
propriation for family practice residency programs reserved
for developing new programs and expanding existing pro-
grams, it is necessary to adopt procedures and criteria to be
used in evaluating requests for funding grants from existing
programs or for programs in developmental stages. TheVolumke3. Number 8. January 31. 1978
