If a postsecondary educational institution utilizes a refund policy of their recognized regional/national accrediting body or the current United States Department of Education (USDOE) Title IV refund policy, the postsecondary educational institution must provide written verification in the form of a final refund calculation, upon the request of the Commission/Board, that its refund policy is more favorable to the student than that of the Commission’s/Board’s. Postsecondary educational institutions accredited by a regionally/nationally recognized accrediting body must uniformly apply the Commission’s/Board’s tuition refund policy or the refund policy of their recognized accrediting body, as previously approved by the Commission/Board to all first-time students enrolled. Postsecondary educational institutions using a refund policy other than that of the Commission’s/Board’s must list the complete policy and its location in the institutional catalog and the enrollment agreement.
