Sec. 871.207  Payment of tuition or fees.



    (a) Contracts, agreements, or arrangements requiring the payment of 

tuition or fees will provide for the following:

    (1) Payment for tuition or fees will be made in arrears and will be 

prorated in installments over the school year or the length of the 

course except that institutions may be paid in accordance with the 

provision of paragraph (a)(2) of this section, provided such 

institutions operate on a regular term, quarter, or semester basis and 

normally accept students only at the beginning of the term, quarter, or 

semester and provided for further such institutions are either:

    (i) Institutions of higher learning that use a standard unit of 

credit recognized by accrediting associations (such institutions will 

include those which are members of recognized national or regional 

educational accrediting associations, and those which, although not 

members of such accrediting associations, grant standard units of credit 

acceptable at full value without examination by collegiate institutions 

which are members of national or regional accrediting associations).

    (ii) Public tax supported institutions.

    (iii) Institutions operated and controlled by State, county, or 

local boards of education.

    (2) Institutions coming within the exceptions of paragraph (a)(1) of 

this section which have a refund policy providing for a graduated scale 

of charges for purposes of determining refunds may be paid part or all 

such tuitions or fees for a term, quarter, or other period of enrollment 

immediately following the date on which the refund expires.

    (3) Proration of charges will not apply to a fee which is for 

noncontinuing service such as registration fee, etc.

    (b) The period for which payment of charges may be made will be the 

period of actual enrollment and subject to the following:

    (1) The effective date will be the date of the trainee's entrance 

into training status except that payment may be made for an entire-

semester, quarter, or term in institutions operating on that basis if 

the trainee enters no later than the final date set by the institution 

for enrolling for full credit.

    (2) In those cases where the institution has not set a final date 

for enrolling for full credit or will not set a date acceptable to the 

Department of Veterans Affairs, payment may be prorated on the basis of 

attendance regardless of the refund policy.

    (3) If an institution customarily charges for the amount of credit 

or number of hours of attendance for which a trainee enrolls, payment 

may be made on that basis when a trainee enrolls after the final date 

permitted for carrying full credit for the semester or term.

    (c) The terminal date to which payment will be made is the day 

following:

    (1) The end of the semester, term or quarter during which the 

training is furnished.

    (2) The date of interruption or discontinuance of training.
