HB 1226 Requirement for consent to drop courses; certain tuition refunds.

Introduced by: John H. Tate, Jr. | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Requirement for consent to drop courses; certain tuition refunds. Requires, at any time after the payment of tuition and fees for a relevant semester, public institutions of higher education to obtain written consent from the person who paid a full-time student's tuition and fees prior to allowing such student to drop a course or courses for which the student is registered. Any public institution of higher education which allows any full-time student, regardless of age, who is dependent on another for financial support, to drop a course for which the student is registered, after the payment of tuition and fees for such student for the relevant semester, without first obtaining the required consent, must refund, on a pro rata basis according to the ratio of the total number of hours for which such student is registered and the total number of hours of the dropped course or courses, the amount of tuition represented by the dropped course to the person who paid the student's tuition and fees. The State Council of Higher Education will develop forms and procedures for obtaining the required consent.
