This part establishes regulations implementing the Cooperative Education Programs (Part IV-D of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended). The purpose of this program is to enrich the quality and scope of postsecondary education through educationally related work experiences which afford a student an opportunity to earn funds needed for his education while becoming better prepared for his educational or career objectives. In order to achieve this purpose, the Commissioner of Education is authorized to make grants to institutions of higher education for planning, establishing, expanding, or carrying out programs of cooperative education and to make grants or to enter into contracts for training, research, or demonstration projects for cooperative education.

As used in this part "Cooperative education" means a course of study at an institution of higher education under which fulltime students enrolled in the institution undertake, as a prescribed program of study, full-time academic study for specified periods of time in sequence with at least two separate periods of full-time educationally related work experience in government, industry, business, or social or educational agencies, for a specified period of time of not less than one week for each period. "Full-time educationally related work experience" means employment or service in which a student undertakes activities which: (a) Are related to the student's educational, professional, or career objectives; (b) Are incorporated, as a regular and essential feature of the student's education, into the academic curriculum of the institution's cooperative education program through enrollment of the student during the work experience and through efforts to promote interaction between the student's work experience and his academic study; (c) Provide for compensation to the student by the employer at the prevailing rate for other employees in comparable positions; provided, however, that an exception may be made for a student who chooses to work for a social or educational agency without pay or at a rate less than the prevailing rate for comparable full-time employees; and (d) Require the student to be present on the job for the same number of hours, or otherwise spend the same amount of time, as the employer has established as full-time employment for purposes other than programs under this part.

"Institution of higher education" or "institution" means an institution of higher education as defined in sections 491(b) and 1201(a) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended. The term includes any school of nursing and any proprietary institution of higher education which has an agreement with the Commissioner containing such terms and conditions as the Commissioner requires to ensure that the availability of assistance to stuIdents at that institution under Title IV of the Act has not resulted, and will not result, in an increase in the tuition, fees, or other charges to such student. "Combination of institutions of higher education" means a group of institutions that have entered into a cooperative arrangement for the purposes of carrying out a mutual objective in the field of cooperative education or a public or private nonprofit agency or organization designated or created by such group of institutions for the purpose of carrying out a common objective on their behalf.
