S.C. Code Regs. 62-21 - Agent Permits
A. Every
agent or solicitor recruiting or enrolling students who are residents of the
State for licensed program(s) off the premises of the institution, whether the
institution is located in the State or outside the State, must secure a permit
from the Commission. Application for the permit shall be made on forms prepared
and furnished by the Commission. An applicant for a permit must not function as
an agent or solicitor until he or she has been issued a permit.
B. The institution shall be responsible and
liable for the acts of its agents acting within the scope of his or her
authority. The institution must familiarize its agents with the provisions of
these regulations and the Nonpublic Postsecondary Institution License Act. A
signed statement from each agent that the agent is familiar with the provisions
of these regulations must be obtained and maintained by the
institution.
C. Agents must give a
receipt for money collected and a copy of the enrollment agreement to each
applicant at the time money is collected or the enrollment agreement is
signed.
D. Agents must display or
produce his or her permit when requested to do so by any student, prospective
student, parent, guardian, or by a member of the Commission or Commission
staff.
E. The permit is valid for
one year, renewable annually from date of issue, if an application for renewal
as prescribed by the Commission is filed thirty days before the expiration of
the current permit and that the agent meets all the then applicable
requirements of the Commission. Agents who continue to represent an institution
after their permits have expired shall be subject to a penalty prescribed in
Regulation
62-22.
F. No agent is permitted to use a title that
misrepresents his or her duties and responsibilities.
G. Each applicant for an agent's permit shall
furnish all information required by the Commission. The Commission may make
such reasonable investigation of any applicant as it deems necessary to
establish that the applicant is of good reputation and character. The
Commission may deny, suspend or revoke the permit of a representative who has
pleaded guilty or who has been convicted of a felony or of a crime of moral
turpitude, whether within or without the State.
