Bill > S00078

This bill requires all colleges, universities, professional, proprietary, and graduate schools in New York to provide students with a comprehensive written notice about the institution's tuition liability policy. The notice must be provided in clear, easy-to-understand language and include information about any exceptions to tuition liability and the process for requesting such exceptions. Schools must deliver this notice in both hard copy and electronic formats, and students must acknowledge that they have received and understood the policy. Furthermore, institutions are required to provide additional notices about the tuition liability policy throughout the academic year. The purpose of this legislation is to ensure that students are fully informed about their financial obligations and potential options for tuition liability relief. The bill will go into effect 90 days after it becomes law, giving schools time to prepare and implement the new notification requirements.
