The administration of the higher education institutions, rather than the governing boards, are required to notify students and establish a committee to evaluate the shift of a degree program to a self-supporting program. The institution must publicly notify prospective students including notification in admission offers with an estimate of tuition and fees. The institution must allow students currently enrolled in the program that is changing to a self-supporting program to continue in the state-supported program structure for a consecutive amount of time no greater than four years in length.
