§ 394.550. Discontinuance of operations: Academic records filed with Administrator; seizure of records
If any postsecondary educational institution operating in this state discontinues
or proposes to discontinue its operation, the chief administrative officer of the
institution shall file with the Administrator original or true copies of all academic
records of the institution specified by regulations of the Commission. The records must include, as a minimum, academic information customarily required
by colleges when considering students for transfer or advanced study; and, as a separate
document, the academic record of each former student. If the Administrator establishes the likelihood that academic records of an institution
discontinuing its operations are in danger of being destroyed, secreted, mislaid or
otherwise made unavailable to the Commission, the Administrator may obtain a court
order permitting the seizure of such records. The Administrator shall receive and maintain a file of such records in the Administrator’s
possession.
