and technical colleges shall be allocated to colleges in 458
proportion to their share of college student success factors as 459
adopted by the Chancellor of the Board of Regents in formal 460
communication to the Controlling Board on August 30, 2010.461

       (2) Of the foregoing appropriation item 235501, State Share 462
of Instruction, 25 per cent of the fiscal year 2015 appropriation 463
for state-supported community colleges, state community colleges, 464
and technical colleges shall be allocated to colleges in 465
proportion to their share of college student success factors as 466
recommended in formal communication from community college 467
presidents to the Chancellor of the Board of Regents dated 468
December 2013.469

       (3) Of the foregoing appropriation item 235501, State Share 470
of Instruction, 25 per cent of the fiscal year 2014 appropriation 471
and 50 per cent of the fiscal year 2015 appropriation for 472
state-supported community colleges, state community colleges, and 473
technical colleges shall be reserved for course completion FTEs as 474
aggregated by the subsidy models defined in division (B) of this 475
section.476

       The course completion funding shall be allocated to colleges 477
in proportion to each campuses' share of the total sector's course 478
completions, weighted by the instructional cost of the subsidy 479
models.480

       To calculate the subsidy entitlements for course completions 481
at community colleges, state community colleges, and technical 482
colleges, the Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall use the 483
following calculations:484

       (a) In calculating each campus's count of FTE course 485
completions, the Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall use the486
a three-year average for course completions for the three-year 487
period ending in the prior year.488

       (b) The subsidy eligible enrollments by model shall equal 489
only those FTE students who successfully complete the course as 490
defined and reported through the Higher Education Information 491
(HEI) system course enrollment file.492

       (c) For fiscal year 2015, students with successful course 493
completions, identified in division (D)(3) of this section, that 494
are or have been Pell eligible at any time while enrolled at a 495
state institution of higher education, are Native American, 496
African American, or Hispanic, or are 25 years of age or older 497
when they first enroll at a state institution of higher education, 498
shall be defined as access students and shall have their eligible 499
course completions weighted by a statewide access weight. The 500
weight given to any student that meets any access factor shall be 501
15 per cent for all course completions.502

       (d) The model costs as used in the calculation shall be 503
augmented by the model weights for science, technology, 504
engineering, mathematics, and medicine models as established in 505
division (C) of this section.506

       (3)(4) Of the foregoing appropriation item 235501, State 507

certificates over 30 credit hours approved by the Board of 515
Regents, and students transferring to any four-year institution 516
with at least 12 credit hours earned at that community college, 517
state community college, or technical college.518

       The completion milestone funding shall be allocated to 519
colleges in proportion to each institution's share of the sector's 520
total completion milestones, weighted by the instructional cost of 521
the associate degree, certificate, or transfer models. Costs for 522
certificates over 30 hours shall be weighted one-half of the 523
associate degree model costs and transfers with at least 12 credit 524
hours shall be weighted one-fourth of the average cost for all 525
associate degree model costs.526

       To calculate the subsidy entitlements for completions at 527
community colleges, state community colleges, and technical 528
colleges, the Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall use the 529
following calculations:530

       (a) In calculating each campus's count of completions, the 531
Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall use a three-year average 532
for completion metrics. 533

       (b) The subsidy eligible completions by model shall equal 534
only those students who successfully complete an associate degree, 535
certificate over 30 credit hours, or transfer to any four-year 536
institution with at least 12 credit hours as defined and reported 537
in the Higher Education Information (HEI) system.538

       (c) Those students with successful completions for associate 539
degrees, certificates over 30 credit hours, or transfer to any 540

Hispanic, or are 25 years of age or older when they first enroll 545
at a state institution of higher education, shall be defined as 546
access students and shall have their eligible completions weighted 547
by a statewide access weight. The weight shall be 25 per cent for 548
students with one access factor, 66 per cent for students with two 549
access factors, and 150 per cent for students with three access 550
factors.551

       (d) For those students who complete more than one completion 552
metric, funding for each additional associate degree or 553
certificate over 30 credit hours approved by the Board of Regents 554
shall be funded at 50 per cent of the model costs as defined in 555
division (D)(4) of this section.556

academic preparedness, age at the time of graduation, minority 707
status, or financial status, shall be defined as degrees earned by 708
an at-risk student and shall be weighted by the following:709

        A student-specific degree completion weight, where the weight 710
is calculated based on the at risk factors of the individual 711
student, determined by calculating the difference between the 712
percentage of students with each risk factor who earned a degree 713
and the percentage of non-at-risk students who earned a degree.714

       (7)(9) State share of instruction base formula earnings shall 715
be determined as follows:716

       (a) The instructional costs shall be determined by 717
multiplying the amounts listed above in divisions (B) and (C) of 718

       Community college presidents, or their designees, in 849
consultation with the Chancellor of the Board of Regents, shall 850
study the most appropriate formula weights for students who come 851

determine allocations of appropriations to community colleges from 853
appropriation item 235501, State Share of Instruction, in fiscal 854
year 2015. The study shall identify the socio-economic, 855
demographic, academic, personal, and other factors that identify a 856
student as being "at-risk" of academic failure, and recommend how 857
these factors may be used to determine allocations of the State 858
Share of Instruction for community colleges in fiscal year 2015. 859
The study shall be completed by December 31, 2013. Notwithstanding 860
any provision of law to the contrary, community college 861
presidents, or their designees, in consultation with the 862
Chancellor of the Board of Regents, shall use the results of the 863
study to recommend changes in the determination of the 864
distribution of the community college allocations beginning in 865
fiscal year 2015 and shall report any such formula change 866
recommendations to the Governor, the General Assembly, and the 867
Office of Budget and Management not later than February 15, 2014.868

points" and completion performance measures used in the allocation 874
of appropriations to community colleges from appropriation item 875
235501, State Share of Instruction, in fiscal year 2015. The study 876
shall research the most appropriate success points and completion 877
measures that occur during the academic career of community 878
college students and recommend revisions to the current State 879
Share of Instruction model to fund achievement of the success 880
points beginning in fiscal year 2015. In addition, community 881
college presidents, or their designees, in consultation with the 882
Chancellor of the Board of Regents, shall determine how the 883
community college's fiscal year 2015 share of State Share of 884
Instruction funding shall be distributed among its success points, 885
completion measures and course completion funding, or other 886
performance and access measures. The study shall be completed by 887
