adopted by the Chancellor of the Board of Regents in formal 483
communication to the Controlling Board on August 30, 2010.484

       (2) Of the foregoing appropriation item 235501, State Share 485
of Instruction, 25 per cent of the fiscal year 2015 appropriation 486
for state-supported community colleges, state community colleges, 487
and technical colleges shall be allocated to colleges in 488
proportion to their share of college student success factors as 489
recommended in formal communication from community college 490
presidents to the Chancellor of the Board of Regents dated 491
December 2013.492

       (3) Of the foregoing appropriation item 235501, State Share 493
of Instruction, 25 per cent of the fiscal year 2014 appropriation 494
and 50 per cent of the fiscal year 2015 appropriation for 495
state-supported community colleges, state community colleges, and 496
technical colleges shall be reserved for course completion FTEs as 497
aggregated by the subsidy models defined in division (B) of this 498
section.499

       The course completion funding shall be allocated to colleges 500
in proportion to each campuses' share of the total sector's course 501
completions, weighted by the instructional cost of the subsidy 502
models.503

       To calculate the subsidy entitlements for course completions 504
at community colleges, state community colleges, and technical 505
colleges, the Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall use the 506
following calculations:507

       (a) In calculating each campus's count of FTE course 508
completions, the Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall use the509
a three-year average for course completions for the three-year 510
period ending in the prior year.511

       (b) The subsidy eligible enrollments by model shall equal 512
only those FTE students who successfully complete the course as 513
defined and reported through the Higher Education Information 514
(HEI) system course enrollment file.515

       (c) For fiscal year 2015, students with successful course 516
completions, identified in division (D)(3) of this section, that 517
are or have been Pell eligible at any time while enrolled at a 518
state institution of higher education, are Native American, 519
African American, or Hispanic, or are 25 years of age or older 520
when they first enroll at a state institution of higher education, 521
shall be defined as access students and shall have their eligible 522
course completions weighted by a statewide access weight. The 523
weight given to any student that meets any access factor shall be 524
15 per cent for all course completions.525

       (d) The model costs as used in the calculation shall be 526
augmented by the model weights for science, technology, 527

       The completion milestone funding shall be allocated to 542
colleges in proportion to each institution's share of the sector's 543
total completion milestones, weighted by the instructional cost of 544
the associate degree, certificate, or transfer models. Costs for 545
certificates over 30 hours shall be weighted one-half of the 546
associate degree model costs and transfers with at least 12 credit 547
hours shall be weighted one-fourth of the average cost for all 548
associate degree model costs.549

       To calculate the subsidy entitlements for completions at 550
community colleges, state community colleges, and technical 551
colleges, the Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall use the 552
following calculations:553

       (a) In calculating each campus's count of completions, the 554
Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall use a three-year average 555
for completion metrics. 556

       (b) The subsidy eligible completions by model shall equal 557
only those students who successfully complete an associate degree, 558
certificate over 30 credit hours, or transfer to any four-year 559
institution with at least 12 credit hours as defined and reported 560
in the Higher Education Information (HEI) system.561

at a state institution of higher education, shall be defined as 569
access students and shall have their eligible completions weighted 570
by a statewide access weight. The weight shall be 25 per cent for 571
students with one access factor, 66 per cent for students with two 572
access factors, and 150 per cent for students with three access 573
factors.574

       (d) For those students who complete more than one completion 575
metric, funding for each additional associate degree or 576
certificate over 30 credit hours approved by the Board of Regents 577
shall be funded at 50 per cent of the model costs as defined in 578

Hispanic, or is at least 26 years ofdefined as at-risk based on 729
academic preparedness, age at the time of graduation, minority 730
status, or financial status, shall be defined as degrees earned by 731
an at-risk student and shall be weighted by the following:732

        A student-specific degree completion weight, where the weight 733
is calculated based on the at risk factors of the individual 734
student, determined by calculating the difference between the 735
percentage of students with each risk factor who earned a degree 736
and the percentage of non-at-risk students who earned a degree.737

       (7)(9) State share of instruction base formula earnings shall 738
be determined as follows:739

       (a) The instructional costs shall be determined by 740
multiplying the amounts listed above in divisions (B) and (C) of 741
