NONQUALIFICATION AS SMALL CAREER SCHOOL AND COLLEGE. (a) A career school or college operating as a small career school or college but that has an annual gross income from tuition and fees that exceed $100,000 (other than a test preparation school described by Section 132.001 (10)(B) or (C)) that intends to receive a payment from federal funds under 20 U.S.C. Section 1070 et seq. or intends to receive prepayment of tuition, fees or other charges from federal or state funds shall send written notice to the commission. The notice must be sent not later than the following date, as applicable: (1) the 60th day after the date on which annual gross income is determined to exceed the maximum; (2) the day before receiving a payment of federal funds under 20 U.S.C. Section 1070 et seq.; or (3) the day before enrolling a student who will prepay tuition, a fee, or another charge in whole or in part from federal or state funds. (b) A career school or college that no longer qualifies as a small career school or college shall apply for an initial certificate of approval as a career school or college within 30 days after the date the school has notified the commission that it no longer qualifies as a small career school or college. The commission may apply or prorate any fees paid by the school or college as a small career school or college. (c) A career school or college that no longer qualifies as a small career school or college shall submit to the commission an amount of money equal to the difference between the fee for the small career school or college certificate of approval submitted by the school or college and the fee that the school or college would be required to submit after its qualifications as a small career school or college cease. (d) The authority of a career school or college to operate under a small career school or college certificate of approval terminates on the final determination of issuance or denial of an initial certificate of approval. If a school or college fails to file a complete application within the period required by Subsection (b), the school or college, as a condition of issuance, must pay a late fee in an amount established by commission rule of at least $100.
