system and the provisions of this subchapter.
(b) Institutions shall not submit for formula funding
courses in out-of-state or out-of-country programs, except that a
Texas public community college may submit for formula funding courses
taught in an approved program offered at a regional airport located
no more than five miles across a state line, provided the regional
airport:
(1) is located in the same Metropolitical Area or Nonmetropolitan

courses in accordance with general institutional accounting practices.
