percentage of students enrolled in each program shall be provided and shall stipulate whether
each program is a credit hour program or non-credit hour program and include information
on the number of credit hours required for each credit hour program, the length of each non-credit hour program, and the costs of each program.
(3) Compliance with the requirements of the information reporting system shall be
