43. Professional Licensure Disclosure

As of February 14, 2010 , both private lenders and institutions offering private loans to students must comply with a new set of regulations per the Federal Reserve Board.

Under the new laws, a lender offering private loans for postsecondary educational expenses must first provide a disclosure about loan terms and features at the time of application and must disclose information about federal student loan programs that may offer less costly alternatives. If the initial application reaches an approval status, a second loan disclosure statement must be provided to the student at that time. If a student accepts the loan terms provided in the second disclosure statement, a third final disclosure must be provided when the loan is consummated.

Each private lender may have a slightly different application process, so it is best to contact your private loan lender directly if you have any questions.

Last, a lender must provide the student with a three-day rescission or “right-to-cancel” period after the final loan disclosure form is sent to the student. The three-day rescission period means that once the school has certified your loan and it is ready to be disbursed, there is a mandatory three-business-day waiting period before the lender may disburse loan funds to the school. If a lender only offers a mailed Final Disclosure (not online), then they must wait six days to disburse the loan to the school (three days for mail time and an additional three-day rescission or “right-to-cancel” period).

If you have any questions related to the regulations, please visit the Student Financial Services Office.

49. Complaint Procedures

University Complaint Processes

Can be found within the University Student Handbook.

Complaint Resolution Policies and Procedures for Non-Tennessee Resident Students in State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement States, commonly known as SARA.

Student complaints relating to consumer protection laws that involve distance learning education offered under the terms and conditions of the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA), must first be filed with the institution to seek resolution.

Complainants not satisfied with the outcome of the Institution’s internal process may appeal, within two years of the incident about which the complaint is made, to the Tennessee Higher Education Commission (https://www.tn.gov/thec/bureaus/student-aid-and-compliance/postsecondary-state-authorization/request-for-complaint-review.html).

For purposes of this process, a complaint shall be defined as a formal assertion in writing that the terms of SARA or the laws, standards or regulations incorporated by the SARA Policies and Standards (http://www.nc-sara.org/content/sara-manual) have been violated by the institution operating under the terms of SARA.

For a list of SARA member States, please visit the NC-SARA website (http://nc-sara.org/sara-states-institutions). Students residing in non-SARA states should consult their respective State of residence for further instruction for filing a complaint.
