    As used in this subpart:
    (a) Academic term means a semester, trimester, or other such period 
(not less than six (6) weeks in duration) into which the college 
normally subdivides its academic year, but does not include a summer 
term.
    (b) Academic year means a twelve month period established by the 
college and approved by the Director of Education as the annual period 
for the operation of the college's education programs.
    (c) The Act means the Navajo Community College Act of December 15, 
1971 (Pub. L. 92-189, 85 Stat. 646) as amended by the Navajo Community 
College Assistance Act of 1978, (Pub. L. 95-471, title II, 92 Stat. 
1329, 25 U.S.C. 640a et seq.).
    (d) Assistant Secretary means the Assistant Secretary for Indian 
Affairs of the Department of the Interior or his/her duly authorized

    (e) College means the institution known as Navajo Community College 
established by the Navajo Tribe.
    (f) Director of Education means the Director of the Office of Indian 
Education Programs of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, or his/her duly

    (g) Full time equivalent or FTE means the number of Indian students 
(1) enrolled full-time for an entire academic term at the College, 
calculated on the basis of registrations as in effect at the conclusion 
of the sixth week of an academic term, plus (2) the full-time equivalent 
of the number of other Indian students who are enrolled part-time for an 
entire academic term at the College (determined on the basis of the 
quotient of the sum of credit hours for which all such part-time 
students are registered during such academic term divided by (12)), 
calculated on the basis of registrations as in effect at the conclusion 
of the sixth week of an academic term. The formula for calculating the 
Indian FTE for an academic term is expressed mathematically as

part-time Indian students are registered at the end of the sixth week of
