(a) An institution shall provide enrolled students at least 60 days written notice of impending closure of the institution, cessation of a program, or substantial changes in a program of the type listed in (b) of this section. At the same time, the institution shall provide the commission written notice on a form provided by the commission.
(b) Within 30 days after an institution closes or ceases offering a program in which a student is enrolled, the institution shall provide full refunds of all tuition and other costs incurred by the student or other funding source on behalf of the student, unless it is able to provide a student with an alternative program, approved by commission staff, that is substantially equivalent as to
(1) program content;
(2) quality of instruction and equipment;
(3) period of program;
(4) accreditation status;
(5) credentials;
(6) accessibility;
(7) placement assistance; and
(8) facility.
(c) The refund requirement of (b) of this section does not apply to that portion of a program that the student has completed and for which the student has received academic credit that is transferrable to a like institution with substantially similar student accessibility including student cost and physical proximity of the training location.
(d) Subsections (a) - (c) of this section apply to an institution even if the closure or cessation of a program occurs without fault of the institution.
(e) An institution may not enroll a student into a program if it reasonably expects that the student will be unable to complete the program because of impending closure of the institution or cessation of the program. In addition to other penalties and requirements that may apply, an institution is subject to a civil fine of $1,000 for each student enrolled in violation of this subsection and to a civil fine of $1,000 for each day that the institution offers enrollment in violation of this subsection.
