Postsecondary institutions required to clearly notice deadlines for full reimbursement of tuition.
This bill requires postsecondary institutions in Minnesota to clearly inform students about the deadline for receiving a full tuition refund during the add-drop period. It applies to state colleges and universities, private institutions with Minnesota campuses that participate in federal aid programs, and encourages the University of Minnesota to comply. Institutions must display this deadline prominently on their websites, communicate it in writing before the add-drop period begins, and include it in student handbooks or academic catalogs. The bill also mandates that schools establish a process for students to file complaints if they believe the institution has not followed these requirements, with the option to appeal to the Office of Higher Education.
