Bill > H346

This bill directs the State Board of Community Colleges to modify how it calculates Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) student enrollment for two specific community colleges, Central Carolina Community College's Harnett and Chatham campuses. Specifically, the bill requires that when determining multicampus center status, the Board must combine the FTE numbers from the main campus and the associated Health Sciences Center locations. Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) is a standardized measurement of student enrollment that converts part-time and full-time student credit hours into a comparable full-time student unit. The bill overrides any existing state law (G.S. 115D-5(o)) or State Board of Community Colleges policies that might prevent this calculation method. By allowing these additional student enrollments to be included, the bill could help these campuses maintain their multicampus center status, which likely affects funding, resource allocation, and administrative classifications. The legislation becomes effective immediately upon becoming law.
