(C)To the extent the commission has divided a core course into subtopics and has assigned time periods for each topic or subtopic, a school must ensure that each topic or subtopic is devoted the appropriate amount of time and that all of the units of the topic or subtopic are covered. In the forms adopted by the commission, suggested time periods assigned to each unit of a topic or subtopic are provided merely for guidance to the schools and instructors. Course subtopics and/or units need not be offered in the order listed on the form. (8)(No change.) (9)Course credit and records. (A) - (B)(No change.)

All core course certificates must show the statutory core course title or other identification as prescribed by the commission. Certificates also must show the date of issuance, the dates the student started and completed the course, and be signed by an official of the school, or if the certificate is computer printed, the school logo may be substituted for the signature. Letters or other official communications also may be provided to students for submission to the commission as evidence of satisfactory completion of the course. Such letters must fully reflect the school name, the course title and number, educational units, the dates the student started and completed the course, and be dated and signed by an official of the school, or if the letter is computer printed, the school logo may be substituted for the signature. A school shall maintain adequate security for completion certificates and letters. Compliance with this requirement will be determined by the commission during all school audits. A school may withhold a student's certificate of completion of a course until the student has fulfilled the student's financial obligation to the school. (D) - (E)(No change.) (10) - (11)(No change.)
