c. Clinical Work Experience: Coordination is compensated based on regular lecture/lab grid for credit instruction or the guidelines specifically adopted for nursing and health professions.

Note: DCCCD does not receive reimbursement from the state if students are added past the certification date. We will not pay additional if the enrollment increases after certification date. The rate of pay remains the same whether enrollment increases or decreases unless it drops to zero. When enrollment drops to zero, then payment ceases.
