Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 9, September 27, 2024

A. The Commission may revoke or suspend, or refuse to issue or renew a license for any of the following:

(1) Violation of any provision of Chapter 58 of Title 59, South Carolina Code of Laws, 1976, as amended, or any rule and regulation made by the Commission.

(2) Furnishing false, misleading or incomplete information to the Commission or failure to furnish any information requested by the Commission.

(3) Violation of any commitment made in an application for a license.

(4) Failure to provide or maintain premises or equipment in a safe and sanitary condition as required by law, or State or local regulations or ordinances applicable at the location of the institution.

(5) Failing within a reasonable time to provide information requested by the Commission because of a complaint that would indicate a violation of Chapter 58 of Title 59, South Carolina Code of Laws, 1976.

(6) Attempting to use or employ enrolled students in any commercial activity without specific authorization from the Commission. Such authorization will be granted only when such activities are essential to the students' program. Such authorization will not be unreasonably withheld.

B. The Commissioner may give the institution a period of probation if in the Commissioner's judgment any unsatisfactory condition can reasonably be corrected within such time. If the Commissioner determines that it is appropriate, he or she may require that an institution delay matriculation of new students into a new class term to give the Commissioner time to investigate, evaluate, and assist and to allow the institution officials time to evaluate and adjust.

C. Any ruling of the Commissioner in application of these regulations may be appealed to the Commission by the institution in accordance with established procedures. Licenses shall be denied, revoked, suspended or not renewed by the Commission according to procedures for notice, hearing, applicable depositions, subpoenas, other related process matters and subsequent procedures in compliance with the Administrative Procedures Act, Chapter 23 of Title 1, South Carolina Code of Laws, 1976.

D. If the Commission orders an institution to cease offering a program of instruction or revokes the institution's license, the Commission may delay approval for up to two years after the order to cease or revocation became effective. Before the Commission may grant any license, the institution shall establish that it complies with these regulations, that each program satisfies all the minimum standards prescribed by these regulations, and that the circumstances surrounding the institution's failure to meet the requirements have sufficiently changed so that the institution will be substantially likely to comply.
