Private Postsecondary Education Modifications
Maddy summaryHB 97 updates disclosure requirements for private postsecondary schools in Utah. It clarifies that students have a three-business day "cooling off period" to cancel enrollment and receive a refund (excluding a reasonable application fee and a deposit not exceeding 10% of the first term's tuition). The bill mandates schools to provide clear written disclosures about program details, costs, accreditation status, refund policies, complaint procedures, and student outcomes before enrollment. This affects all private colleges and universities in Utah and their enrolled students.
