Fair Consumer Practices

SUMMARY:

The proposed rule provides that discounts in tuition or fees are not permissible based upon the method or timing of payment and deletes a reference to a disclosure about the transferability of credits to clarify that the required disclosures are addressed under paragraph (5)(f) of the rule.
