a) All licensed cosmetology schools shall have enrollment agreements that meet the requirements of Section 3B-12 of the Act.

b) All licensed cosmetology schools shall implement refund policies pursuant to Section 3B-13 of the Act and this Part.

1) When notice of cancellation is given after the fifth day following enrollment but before the completion of the student's first day of class attendance, the school may retain no more than the application and registration fee, plus the cost of any books or materials which have been provided by the school and retained by the student (Section 3B-13(b)). The cost of books, for purposes of refunds, is the cost of the books charged to the student, not the cost of the books to the school.
