18.16.2.A Meeting the State Requirement The participant in the College component must not be assigned to participate in any other activity to meet the federal work requirement when he chooses to attend college, as long as he attends full-time as defined by the institution. 18.16.2.B Participation Calculation The calculation of College hours of participation follows the same process as Vocational Educational Training. See Section 18.16.1.E. Participation Calculation Example: Mr. Hickory attends class 60 hours for the month. The following hours of participation are entered in the eligibility system: 60 attendance hours +60 unsupervised study hours 120 total monthly participation hours 18.16.2.C Payment of Support Services The participant must submit a monthly timesheet, DFA-TS-12, to document the number of days he has attended during the month. The timesheet must be signed by the participant in order to receive support services. The Case Manager will request enrollment and schedule information at the beginning of each term. Copies of grades from each grading period will be obtained to ensure the participant is maintaining satisfactory progress towards program completion. Enrollment, schedule, and grades must be included on the SSP. NOTE: Please note that some College students may actually attend more hours than enrolled credit hours. This may occur when the student is required to participate in a lab, library activity, etc. which does not count towards his semester credit hours. This is significant when the credit hours are less than full-time during the current semester. In this case, the Case Manager must count all participation hours, confirm the details with the participant, and make a full case recording in the eligibility system regarding the circumstances.
