   Any person claiming damage or loss as a result of any act or practice by a postsecondary educational institution or its agent, or both, that is a violation of this part or of the rules and regulations promulgated under this part, may file with the commission a verified complaint against the institution or against its agent, or both.

The commission may consider a complaint after ten (10) days' written notice by registered mail, return receipt requested, to the institution or to the agent, or both, as appropriate, giving notice of a time and place for hearing on the complaint.      If, upon all the evidence at a hearing, the commission finds that a postsecondary educational institution or its agent, or both, has engaged in or is engaging in, any act or practice that violates this part or the rules and regulations promulgated under this part, the commission shall issue and cause to be served upon the institution or agent, or both, an order requiring the institution or agent, or both, to cease and desist from the act or practice.
