[§431:9A-157]  Tuition.  (a)  The
following are requirements that providers shall follow:



(1)  Tuition fees for courses shall be reasonable and
clearly identified;



(2)  If the course is canceled for any reason, all
fees shall be refunded in full unless the enrollment application contains a
refund policy clause that expressly states otherwise.  If the fees are
refundable, the continuing education course provider shall refund the fees
within forty-five days after the cancellation;



(3)  In the event a course is postponed for any
reason, a licensee shall be given the choice of attending the course at a later
date or having the fee refunded in full.  If a licensee chooses not to attend a
postponed course, the continuing education course provider shall refund the
fees within forty-five days after the postponement; and



(4)  A provider may have a refund policy that
addresses a licensee's cancellation or failure to complete a course, so long as
that policy is clear to the licensee and in compliance with this section.



(b)  A continuing education course provider may
offer a continuing education course free of tuition. [L 2003, c 55, pt of §1]
