HRS §431:9A-157
Rules for course fees and refunds
This section sets rules for continuing education course fees. Fees must be reasonable and clearly shown. If a course is canceled or postponed, the provider must refund fees in full within 45 days, unless the enrollment application says otherwise for cancellations. Providers may also offer courses for free.
The statute, as written — Tuition
(a) The following are requirements that providers shall follow: (1) Tuition fees for courses shall be reasonable and clearly identified; (2) If the course is canceled for any reason, all fees shall be refunded in full unless the enrollment application contains a refund policy clause that expressly states otherwise. If the fees are refundable, the continuing education course provider shall refund the fees within forty-five days after the cancellation; (3) In the event a course is postponed for any reason, a licensee shall be given the choice of attending the course at a later date or having the fee refunded in full. If a licensee chooses not to attend a postponed course, the continuing education course provider shall refund the fees within forty-five days after the postponement; and (4) A provider may have a refund policy that addresses a licensee's cancellation or failure to complete a course, so long as that policy is clear to the licensee and in compliance with this section. (b) A continuing education course provider may offer a continuing education course free of tuition.
