Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024
(a) If an
institution erroneously classifies a person as a resident, the institution
shall charge nonresident tuition to the person beginning with the semester
following the date that the institution discovers the error.
(1) Not earlier than the first day of the
following semester, the institution may notify the person that he or she must
pay the difference between resident and nonresident tuition for each previous
semester in which the student should not have paid resident tuition, if:
(A) the person failed to provide to the
institution, in a timely manner after the information becomes available or on
request by the institution, any information that the person reasonably should
know would be relevant to an accurate classification by the institution under
this subchapter information; or
(B)
the person provided false information to the institution that the person
reasonably should know could lead to an erroneous classification by the
institution under this subchapter.
(2) If the institution provides notice under
paragraph (1) of this subsection, the person shall pay the applicable amount to
the institution not later than the 30th day after the date the person is
notified of the person's liability for the amount owed. After receiving the
notice and until the amount is paid in full, the person is not entitled to
receive from the institution a certificate or diploma, if not yet awarded on
the date of the notice, or official transcript that is based at least partially
on or includes credit for courses taken while the person was erroneously
classified as a resident of this state.
(b) If an institution erroneously classified
a person as a nonresident of this state under this subchapter and the person is
entitled or permitted to pay resident tuition, the institution shall charge
resident tuition to the person beginning with the semester in which the
institution discovered the error. Regardless of the reason for the error, the
institution shall immediately refund to the person the amount of tuition the
person paid in excess of resident tuition.
