Enrollment Matters - Census Date Identification

To describe the method used to calculate & designate a curriculum course census date

As per administrative code, the census date for curriculum courses occurs at the 10% point of the course. Recognizing the calculation limitations of Colleague for courses using asynchronous course delivery methods and the need to standardize census date calculation, Randolph Community College will calculate the census date for curriculum courses as described as follows:

1. Traditional Delivery of Instruction (Face-to-Face): 100% of instruction is delivered in the class with both instructor and student present. Instruction is synchronous. This includes courses delivered using 100% remote synchronous instruction.
   1. To calculate the 10% point, the total number of course hours is divided by 10.
   2. The 10% point occurs at the time the number of hours calculated have been met. All fractions of an hour will be rounded up.
2. Internet and Hybrid Course Deliveries of Instruction: a portion of class material is delivered using tools to allow asynchronous participation.
   1. The 10% point for courses is determined based on the length of the semester. No date calculation is necessary for courses not delivered 100% synchronously.
   2. Internet and Hybrid Course deliveries’ census dates will be designated as listed below:
      • 8-Week Mini-mesters Course: Census date identified as the fourth (4th) day of class for the mini-mester in which the course is delivered.
      • 16-Week Semester Course: Census date identified as the eight (8th) day of class for the semester in which the course is delivered.
