Hi Shannon and Katrina,
 
NRS requires a non-duplicated count of students.  So the state has to have a policy on how to classify them (DL or not) for reporting.  It's just the same as if a student took two separate classes at the same time -- they are only counted once in NRS.  
 
Of course you may have other procedures for local contracts, management, scheduling, etc., according to state/local policy.  Again, it's the same as if a student took multiple classes at the same time.

Hi Katrina,

I believe so.  A student may only be counted one time even though he/she is
enrolled in separate distance and classroom-based classes.  Larry, would you
confirm that this is the case?

Thanks, Shannon
