• The program is satisfactory in all elements of providing training.
• State approving agencies have the authority to review periodically the length of time needed to complete each approved correspondence program or approved
correspondence-residence course in order to determine whether the program or course should continue to be approved. In implementing this authority, a State
Approving Agency will examine the results over a prior two-year period reasonably related to the date on which such a review is conducted.
• Upon notification of the educational institution by the veteran, spouse, surviving spouse, or reservist of an intention not to affirm the enrollment agreement, any fees
paid by the individual shall be returned promptly in full to him or her.

without having completed any lessons, a registration fee not in excess of 10 percent of the tuition for the course or $50, whichever is less, may be charged him or her.
When the individual terminates the agreement after completion of less than 25 percent of the lessons of the course, the institution may retain the registration fee plus
25 percent of the tuition. When the individual terminates the agreement after completing 25 percent but less than 50 percent of the lessons, the institution may retain
the registration fee plus 50 percent of the tuition for the course. If 50 percent or more of the lessons are completed, no refund of tuition is required.

• Any institution that fails to forward any refund due to the veteran, spouse, surviving spouse, or reservist within 40 days after receipt of a notice of termination or
disaffirmance, shall be deemed, prima facie, to have failed to make a prompt refund as required by this action.
