(a) All school personnel soliciting or enrolling students must be registered as a representative. This registration requirement does not apply to individuals owning and operating a school in the capacity as a sole proprietor, joint venturer, or general partner, due to their direct nature of ownership.
(b) The school shall apply annually to register representatives on forms provided by the Agency and with the appropriate fee.
(c) A representative shall be of good reputation and under the control of the school and is deemed to be the agent of the school. The school is responsible for any representations or misrepresentations, expressed or implied, made by a representative.
(d) Any student solicited or enrolled by an unregistered representative is entitled to a refund of all monies paid and a release from all obligations to the school. Any contract signed by a prospective student as a result of solicitation or enrollment by an unregistered representative is null and void and unenforceable.
(e) Representatives shall participate in training approved by the Agency that covers the Act and Commission rules relative to representatives, admissions, advertising, and any other topics as required by the Agency to support the legal and ethical solicitation and enrollment of students.
