(1) (a) A private college or university
that enrolls a majority of its students at the certificate or associate level is
regulated by the private occupational school division and the private occupational
school board pursuant to article 64 of this title 23 and is not subject to the
provisions of this article 2.

(b) If, as a result of changes in student enrollment, a private college or
university at times meets the definition provided in section 23-2-102 (11) and should
therefore be regulated by the department and the commission, and at other times
meets the requirements of paragraph (a) of this subsection (1) and should therefore
be regulated by the private occupational school division and the private
occupational school board, the private college or university is subject to regulation
by the entity that is appropriate as of July 1, 2012, if the private college or university
is authorized as of said date, or as of the date the institution applies for
authorization, and the institution shall be regulated by the same entity for the
following three years. The department shall review the status of the private college
or university every three years after July 1, 2012, or every three years after initial
authorization, whichever is appropriate, to determine whether the institution should
be subject to regulation by the department and the commission or by the private
occupational school division and the private occupational school board.

(2) An out-of-state public institution may request authorization pursuant to
the provisions of this article from the department and the commission. In seeking
and maintaining authorization pursuant to this article, an out-of-state public
institution is subject to the same criteria and requirements that apply to a private
college or university.
