A program must run 8 to 15 weeks and 150 to 600 clock hours
What the document says“it is a program of at least 150 clock hours of instruction, but less than 600 clock hours of instruction, or an equivalent number of credit hours, offered by an eligible institution during a minimum of 8 weeks, but less than 15 weeks;”
The section adds a new paragraph (3) to section 481(b) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1088(b)) making a program eligible only if it runs at least 150 and fewer than 600 clock hours, or the same in credit hours, over at least 8 and fewer than 15 weeks, and is not a correspondence course as defined in section 600.2 of title 34, Code of Federal Regulations as in effect on July 1, 2021.
What the document actually says“it is a program of at least 150 clock hours of instruction, but less than 600 clock hours of instruction, or an equivalent number of credit hours, offered by an eligible institution during a minimum of 8 weeks, but less than 15 weeks;”
The course must run at least 150 hours. It must run under 600 hours. It must last 8 to 15 weeks.
Credit hours may stand in for clock hours. A correspondence course does not count. An older rule says what that means.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
