ISSUE:

Should the Commission approve the amendment of Regulation 1054 to replace "a POST-certified tuition-based course" with "any POST-certified course?"

 

 
BACKGROUND:
In reviewing Regulation 1054 to assist presenters in completing their course budgets, POST staff observed the regulation currently uses the term "a POST-certified tuition-based course" implying that the requirements for creating a course budget only pertain to courses that include tuition. However, the requirements set forth by Regulation 1054 are used to provide direction to presenters of POST-certified courses under all reimbursement plans, regardless of the whether tuition is charged.
ANALYSIS:

The current language has led to confusion when providing guidance to presenters who provide courses which do not include tuition, but utilize a reimbursement plan that includes reimbursement for presenter costs associated with course delivery.

With Reimbursement Plans V, VI, and VII, POST reimburses the presenter for presentation costs. Because POST pays for the tuition costs, the course reads as no-tuition, therefore the course does not appear as a "POST-certified tuition-based course." Removing the "tuition-based" language would make Regulation 1054 apply to all POST-certified courses and their budgets.

RECOMMENDATION:
POST staff recommend the Commission approve the amendment to Regulation 1054 replacing the reference to "a POST-certified tuition-based course" with "any POST-certified course."
