1 13 funding to be provided if the request is granted. Written
1 14 notice of the committee's decision shall be given through the
1 15 department to a community college board of directors.
1 16 2. For purposes of this section, the enrollment count

1 18 number of students enrolled in courses for credit on October 1
1 19 annually. Procedures for calculating the number of full-time
1 20 enrolled students based on a conversion of credit hours to
1 21 full-time student equivalents shall be established by the

1 28 committee exceed the amount appropriated to the department of
1 29 education pursuant to this section, the payments to community
1 30 colleges receiving approval for on-time funding shall be
1 31 prorated such that each community college approved for on-time
1 32 funding shall receive an amount of on-time funding equal to
1 33 the percentage that the on-time funding to be provided to the
1 34 community college bears to the total amount of on-time funding
1 35 to be provided to all community colleges receiving approval.
2 1 4. If the board of directors of a community college
