W. Va. Code R. § 135-35-11 - Student Enrollment Contract
Current through Register Vol. XXXIX, No. 11, March 18, 2022
11.1.
Before the schooling begins, all students shall receive a completed, signed and
dated enrollment contract specifying both the school's and student's legal
rights and obligations. The agreement may incorporate into the contract by
reference information in the school's catalog, student handbook, or other
school publication without printing such information or publication in the
contract itself. The enrollment contract must contain, but is not limited to,
the following:
11.1.a. The name and address
of the school;
11.1.b. The name of
the course of study or program, including the number of credit or clock hours
of classroom instruction, home study lessons, or other study units
required;
11.1.c. The total cost of
the course, term or program for which the student is obligated under the
contract including tuition, fees, books, and any other charges the student will
incur shall be clearly stated;
11.1.d. The school's cancellation and refund
policy including an explanation of the procedures a student will follow to
cancel the contract or enrollment agreement; and
11.1.e. The signature of the student
applicant, a parent or other sponsor if the student is under the age of
eighteen (18), and the appropriate school officials, plus the date
signed.
11.2. An
application for admission is not to be construed as binding on the student,
therefore limiting total student financial obligation to the payment of an
application fee.
11.3. The school
shall provide the student with a copy of the completed enrollment agreement
that is signed and dated.
11.4.
Those schools that are accredited by a national or regional accrediting agency
recognized by the United States Department of Education may adhere to the
accrediting agency's criteria regarding student enrollment contracts to satisfy
the requirements of this section. However, in the event that enrollment
contracts are not addressed by accrediting agency criteria, the provisions of
this section must be followed.
