	(b)  Before a student begins a program offered by a career 
school or college to which Subsection (a) applies, the school or 
college shall provide to the student written notice of all policies 
related to program interruption occurring before the student's 
completion of the program.  The career school or college shall also 
notify each student in writing that if the student withdraws from 
the program, it is the student's responsibility to inform the 
school or college of the student's withdrawal.
	(c)  A student attending a program offered by a career school 
or college to which Subsection (a) applies may not be required to 
pay tuition to the school or college during the first week of the 
program.  Except as otherwise provided by this subsection, the 
career school or college shall verify the student's enrollment in 
the program by documenting the student's participation in an 
academically related activity of the program at the end of the first 
week of each semester or other academic term of the program, at the 
end of the first month each semester or other academic term of the 
program, at the midpoint of each semester or other academic term of 
the program, and at the end of each semester or other academic term 
of the program.  If the career school or college is unable to verify 
the student's enrollment in the program at any of those times, the 
student is considered to have withdrawn from the program.  The date 
on which the career school or college was first unable to verify the 
student's enrollment in the program is the date of the student's 
withdrawal for refund purposes, and the school or college is not 
required to verify the student's enrollment in the program after 
that date.
