				  opportunities to enroll during each fall and spring semester in the equivalent

				  enroll in specific courses or specific sections. Public two-year colleges will
				  comply to the extent that courses for the current semester are being offered
				  that apply to the student's baccalaureate degree program. The requirement may
				  be met by allowing substitutions for required courses or by allowing concurrent
				  enrollment in courses from another institution, so long as the courses are
				  taught on the students' home campus and the students incur no financial
				  penalty.
(c) General academic
				  teaching institutions shall provide students with appropriate forms and
				  instructions for requesting tuition reimbursement at the time that students
				  apply for baccalaureate degrees.
(d) Institutions shall provide tuition
				  rebates to students who apply within 60 days after graduation or provide the
				  student with a statement explaining the reason the student is ineligible for
				  the rebate.
(e) Institutions shall
				  provide a dispute resolution process to resolve disputes related to local
				  administration of the program.
(f)
				  Disputes related to lower division credit transfer shall be resolved in
				  accordance with Coordinating Board rules, §
										4.27
				  of this title (relating to Resolution of Transfer Disputes for Lower-Division
				  Courses).
(g) Institutions shall
				  establish policies and procedures for allowing otherwise eligible students to
				  qualify for tuition rebates under this program, if the student receives a
				  baccalaureate degree and demonstrates that the failure to comply with §
										13.82(4)
				  of this title (relating to Eligible Students) was caused by a hardship
				  condition. The policies and procedures shall include, but shall not be limited
				  to, the following conditions:
(1) a severe
				  illness or other debilitating condition that may affect the student's academic
				  performance;
(2) an indication that
				  the student is responsible for the care of a sick, injured, or needy person and
				  that the student's provision of care may affect his or her academic
				  performance; or
(3) performance of
				  active duty military service.
