The bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to introduce a new requirement for institutions of higher education regarding tuition increases. It mandates that if a college or university raises its tuition from the previous academic year, it must notify all enrolled students both electronically and by mail at least 45 days before any tuition bill is issued. This aims to enhance accountability and transparency in higher education.
Additionally, the notice must include specific information: the tuition amount from the prior academic year, the current tuition amount, and the dollar and percentage increase in tuition. This legislation is designed to ensure that students are adequately informed about changes in their financial obligations well in advance. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
