				  calculations, included as part of each student's completion record, must
				  clearly differentiate actual interactive instruction time from non-instruction
				  time, such as log-in procedures, administrative tasks, help functions,
				  validation processes, audio/visual media download times and time spent
				  reading/responding to content questions. This information must also be used by
				  the sponsor in fulfilling its monitoring responsibilities as defined in this
				  Part. The sponsor must store this data for a minimum of five (5) years from the
				  date it was created, or the date the course was completed, whichever is
				  later.
(c) Customer service and
				  support.

				  telephone lines staffed by knowledgeable customer service staff that can assist
				  with routine questions. Staff must be knowledgeable about policy, procedural,
