To amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to require certain institutions of higher education to provide notice of tuition levels for students.
Summary
This bill amends the Higher Education Act to require institutions of higher education to provide students admitted to undergraduate or graduate programs with multi-year tuition and fee information. Institutions must either provide a multi-year tuition and fee schedule or provide a single-year schedule along with a nonbinding estimate of net costs after financial aid for multiple years. When using single-year schedules, institutions must also disclose the average difference between their prior estimated and actual net costs. The Secretary of Education may waive these requirements for institutions experiencing severe economic hardship, with the requirements taking effect 120 days after the bill is enacted.

“(D) The Secretary shall waive the requirements of subparagraph (A) if the institution demonstrates to the Secretary that the requirements of subparagraph (A) are not practicable because of the occurrence of one or more events causing the institution severe economic distress, dramatic reduction of State or Federal aid, or any other circumstance determined to be appropriate by the Secretary.”.
