TBA Saga Still TBA

  tracking?

CTE

• If TBA hours are being used for fieldwork or
  internships, isnt there another option?
• Why not internship or fieldwork?
• What rules apply?

7
Tracking Guidance coming

• Guidance will be drafted regarding the
  interpretation of the term regularly scheduled
  when applied to TBA hours attached to a weekly
  census or daily census course section.
• students would be required to participate for
  the same number of stated hours per week for each
  week that the class is scheduled, and
  documentation would demonstrate that enrolled
  students have done so.
• Audit language will include requirements for
  regular monitoring of student participation in
  TBA activities and criteria and conditions that,
  if not met, would result in invalidation for
  apportionment purposes of TBA hours for a course.
  For example, if an audit determined that all
  students or a significant number of students
  enrolled in a section did not fulfill the TBA
  obligation, then the TBA hours would be
  invalidated for apportionment purposes.
