Current through Vol. 41, No. 13, March 15, 2024
Continuing approval of a course or courses is contingent upon maintaining prescribed standards and conformance with standards and provisions of Title 38, U.S. Code and V.A. Regulations under Chapters 32, 34, 35, and 36.
(1) After approving any course or licensing or certification test, the agency may suspend the approval of a course for new enrollments, or approval of a licensing or certification test, for a period not to exceed 60 days to allow the institution to correct any deficiencies, if the evidence of record establishes that a course or licensing or certification test fails to meet any of the requirements for approval. [ 38 CFR 21.4259(a)(1) ]
(2) If an institution has not corrected discrepancies at the time the suspension of approval expires, or if the deficiency cannot be corrected within the 60 day time period, the agency shall immediately withdraw approval from the institution. [ 38 CFR 21.4259(a)(2) ]
(3) Prior to withdrawing approval, the agency shall notify the institution by certified mail with return receipt requested of its intended action and shall include a statement of the institution's right to a hearing to respond to the agency's intended action. If the institution has failed to correct discrepancies, the hearing will serve as the institution's opportunity to show it is in compliance with the appropriate VA regulations.
(4) Hearings under this section will take place according to the procedures set forth in OAC 15:1-7-1 and the Oklahoma Administrative Procedures Act.
