HERO 711 – Financial Stability, Tuition, Refunds & Student Protections

This 4-hour professional continuing education course examines financial responsibility, tuition practices, refund compliance, and student protection requirements under the Florida Commission for Independent Education. Topics include institutional financial stability expectations, budgeting and projections, tuition and fee alignment, refund calculations, withdrawal documentation, and administrative oversight of financial practices. Administrators will learn how financial decisions intersect with licensure, Fair Consumer Practices, and student protections, and how to implement systems that ensure accurate billing, compliant refunds, and sustained fiscal accountability. The course emphasizes preventative financial compliance rather than reactive correction.
