The UNC Policy Manual
400.1.11[G]
Adopted 07/09/92
The following are guidelines concerning
arrangements between a University campus and a nearby community college to
offer remedial instruction on the campus.
Some of the institutions within the University have entered into such
contracts and others have been encouraged to do so when it improves the cost
effectiveness or educational value of remedial coursework. When courses are offered under such contracts
the credit hours associated with them should be:
1. Included in the community college
FTE count but not in the campus FTE count for Regular Term Enrollment;
2. Included in determining the
student's courseload for purposes of establishing eligibility for financial aid
at the institution;
3. Excluded in determining the
student's tuition charges at the institution except that the campus may act as
fiscal agent for the community college in collecting its tuition and fee
charges;
4. Included in the student record at
the institution and at the community college; and
5. Included in the Freshmen Performance
File and Student Data File collected by this office. The cost of faculty and staff employed by the
community college and the cost of student tuition and course fees that the
campus may collect on behalf of the community college should not be included in
expenditure data on remedial instruction that are reported annually to the vice
president for academic affairs.
