Current through February 26, 2024
(1) The department shall approve only those schools which publish and adhere to refund provisions consistent with the standards below.
(2) The refund standards required by this rule are based upon these principles:
(a)
Students make numerous "false starts" in their education. It is important to
preserve for the student the right to a change of mind (recognition of a false
start) without too serious a penalty, since this action itself may be important
in the student's growth, maturation and learning.
(b) It is the responsibility of the school,
through pre-enrollment counseling, to make reasonably certain before enrollment
is completed that the student has the ability to profit from the program under
consideration.
(c) Since it is the
responsibility of the school to select its students carefully, charges to the
student upon cancellation or withdrawal before the program begins should be a
smaller portion of the total cost of the course of instruction than upon
withdrawal after partial completion.
