Current through Vol. 41, No. 20, July 1, 2024
(a) Institutions will report to the Oklahoma
				State Regents for Higher Education any awards that the institution is aware are
				based on inaccurate application data. If funds have been disbursed to a
				student, and the student reported incorrect data unknown to the institution at
				the time of eligibility certification, the student is responsible for the
				return of any funds for which he/she is not eligible to receive. All refunds
				will be coordinated by the institution for return to the Oklahoma State Regents
				for Higher Education. The institution will place holds as allowed on other
				financial aid disbursements, future enrollments, release of transcripts, etc.
				in an effort to collect refunds if necessary. In the event Oklahoma Tuition
				Equalization Grant funds are disbursed to a student as a result of erroneous
				action by the institution, the institution is financially liable for the return
				of the ineligible funds. An institution's failure to submit refunds for which
				the institution is liable within a reasonable period of time could result in
				suspension or termination of the institution's eligibility for participation in
				the Oklahoma Tuition Equalization Grant program. Thirty days is considered to
				be a reasonable period of time. The institution may appeal a finding of
				institutional liability.
(b)
				Eligible institutions shall adhere to the complaint process policies and
				procedures administered by the State Regents. The State Regents shall review
				and take action, as authorized, on complaints concerning eligible
				institutions.

				will be transferred.

				consideration for a scholarship under the Regional University Baccalaureate
				Scholarship Program by means other than standard testing procedures, the State
				Regents shall permit the student to be examined under the special testing
				arrangements provided by either ACT or The College Board provided that he or
				she meets the qualifications specified by ACT and The College Board,
				respectively, to be examined. Performance requirements for participation in the
				Regional University Baccalaureate Scholarship Program remain the same as for
				other students. Students taking such tests and receiving Regional University
				Baccalaureate Scholarship awards will be expected to meet the same retention
				standards as other students. Special provisions may be considered in
