Section 610:25-31-5 - Refunds, institutional liability and complaint process

(a) Institutions will report to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education any awards that the institution is aware are based on inaccurate application data. If funds have been disbursed to a student, and the student reported incorrect data unknown to the institution at the time of eligibility certification, the student is responsible for the return of any funds for which he/she is not eligible to receive. All refunds will be coordinated by the institution for return to the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education. The institution will place holds as allowed on other financial aid disbursements, future enrollments, release of transcripts, etc. in an effort to collect refunds if necessary. In the event Oklahoma Tuition Equalization Grant funds are disbursed to a student as a result of erroneous action by the institution, the institution is financially liable for the return of the ineligible funds. An institution's failure to submit refunds for which the institution is liable within a reasonable period of time could result in suspension or termination of the institution's eligibility for participation in the Oklahoma Tuition Equalization Grant program. Thirty days is considered to be a reasonable period of time. The institution may appeal a finding of institutional liability.

(b) Eligible institutions shall adhere to the complaint process policies and procedures administered by the State Regents. The State Regents shall review and take action, as authorized, on complaints concerning eligible institutions.
