MELA Meeting Minutes 2018

C. Attendance and Audit Information – SU18 attendance must be taken via the ET for shared students. Process for reporting local attendance will remain the same. Why? “To enforce the State’s law regarding attendance in a consistent and equitable manner.” Attendance must be entered by Provider thru at least the 50% mark, ET will provide Host college with course, grade, and attendance data needed for reimbursement to occur (eARS links to ET and creates a student schedule file download, the download is appended to the college’s file for audit). Difference for the future is that attendance for crossed students must be taken in the ET. Audit Roster Options for MELA to vote on in March: Either attendance through 50% and complete audit within ET with digital signature OR take attendance only thru 50% mark and digital signature each week. **Effective SU18 – Attendance must be completed in ET for crossed students. In addition, the colleges do not need to include local students and/or courses not intended for sharing in the ET.**
