As used in the Off-Campus Instruction Act:
A. "off-campus instruction program" means either the first two years of college education or organized vocational and technical curricula of not more than two years' duration designed to fit individuals for employment in recognized occupations, or both; and
B. "full-time-equivalent student" includes students enrolled in college-level courses and students enrolled in vocational and technical courses taught by an off-campus instruction program. Students enrolled in a course the cost of which is totally reimbursed from federal, state or private sources shall not be included in the calculation of full-time-equivalent student population.

ANNOTATIONSThe 2007 amendment, effective June 15, 2007, eliminated the provision that the public school district transfer to the parent institution the tuition and fees for a student who is counted in the membership of the district and who receives credit for coursework at the off-campus site.
The 1999 amendment, effective July 1, 1999, deleted the former second sentence in Subsection B, which read "Full-time-equivalent for students enrolled in vocational and technical courses not of college level shall be calculated according to the method prescribed in Section 21-16-9 NMSA 1978".
