SUMMARY AS SUBMITTED

BY PROMULGATING AGENCY.

R.62-6 of Chapter 62 is being amended. The revision to the existing regulation governing Licensing Criteria is being considered to authorize the Commission to approve teach-out plans in rare instances such as sudden institutional closures, to enable students within the final 25% of their programs to re-enroll at another South Carolina non-public institution and complete their courses of study.

A Notice of Drafting for the proposed regulation was published in the South Carolina State Register on October 25, 2019.
