Section 1788(e) is amended to read as follows: “(e)(1) For the purpose of measuring clock hours of attendance or net of instruction under clause (1) or (2), respectively, of subsection (a) of this section for a course— “(A) which is offered by an institution of higher learning, and “(B) for which the institution requires one or more unit courses or subjects for which credit is granted toward a standard college degree pursued in residence on a standard quarter- or semester-hour basis, the number of credit hours (semester or quarter nours) represented by such unit courses or subjects shall, during the semester, quarter, or other applicable portion of the academic year when pursued, be converted to equivalent clock hours, determined as prescribed in paragraph (2) of this subsection. Such equivalent clock hours then shall be combined with actual weekly clock hours of training concurrently pursued, if any, to determine the total clock hours of enrollment. “(2) For the purpose of determining the clock-hour equivalency described in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the total number of credit hours being pursued will be multiplied by the factor resulting 103 STAT. 2087from dividing the number of clock hours which constitute full time under clause (1) or (2) of subsection (a) of this section, as appropriate, by the number of semester hours (or the equivalent thereof) which, under clause (4) of such subsection, constitutes a full-time institutional undergraduate course at such institution.”.
