(a) This section applies:
(1) to claims against the balance of the fund; and

proprietary educational institution is protected by both a surety
bond and the balance of the fund, only after a claim against the
surety bond exceeds the amount of the surety bond.

educational institution who believes that the student or enrollee has
suffered loss or damage resulting from any of the occurrences
described in section 15(c) of this chapter may request the department
to file a claim with the department against the balance of the fund. If

applicable tuition and fees.

occurrence that results in the loss or damage to the claimant.

shall review the records submitted by the appropriate postsecondary
proprietary educational institution described under section 22 of this
chapter and shall investigate the claim and attempt to resolve the claim
as described in section 34(d) of this chapter.

reimbursed under the fund, the department shall prioritize the
reimbursements under the following guidelines:
(1) A student's educational loan balances.
(2) Federal grant repayment obligations of the student.
(3) Other expenses paid directly by the student.
