2006 New York Code - Return Of Tuition For Colleges, Universities, Professional, Proprietary And Graduate Schools.

 
    § 212-b. Return  of  tuition for colleges, universities, professional,
  proprietary and graduate schools. Any  person  who  pays  tuition  to  a
  college,  university,  professional,  proprietary or graduate school and
  who demands its refund in writing before the thirtieth  day  before  the
  commencement  of  the  term  for  which  the  tuition  was paid shall be
  entitled to one hundred percent reimbursement  of  such  tuition  within
  sixty  days  of  receipt  of  such  demand  by  the college, university,
  professional, proprietary or graduate school; provided, however, that no
  deposit on tuition payable upon acceptance  shall  be  governed  by  the
  provisions  of  this  section.  The provisions of this section shall not
  apply if a college, university, professional,  proprietary  or  graduate
  school  enters into a nonrevokable contract for special or extraordinary
  instructional services after receipt of tuition and in reliance  of  the
  prospective attendance of the person paying such tuition so long as such
  person was given notice before paying tuition that such a contract would
  be entered into.
    A  violator  of  the  provisions of this section shall be liable for a
  civil penalty not to exceed ten percent of the amount of  tuition  which
  was not refunded as herein provided.
