Section 30916 - Failure to Comply with the Loan Assumption Agreement(a) Except as otherwise specified in subsections (b) and (c), a program participant who fails to meet the requirements for payment pursuant to the terms of the loan assumption agreement, including failure to maintain half-time enrollment or satisfactory academic progress while attending an accredited college or university or failure to complete a minimum of three consecutive academic years of teaching in nursing at one or more regionally accredited California colleges or universities on a full-time basis, or the equivalent on a part-time basis, will not qualify for loan payment. The loan assumption agreement shall be deemed terminated, and the Commission shall not make any further payments. The participant shall retain responsibility to continue to make any payments required for any remaining loan obligations under the terms of any outstanding loans to avoid defaulting on those loans but shall not be required to repay any loan payments previously made through the program.(b) If a program participant is unable to complete one of the three consecutive academic years of teaching nursing at one or more regionally accredited California colleges or universities on a full-time basis, or the equivalent on a part-time basis, due to serious illness, pregnancy, or other natural causes, the term of the loan assumption agreement shall be extended for a period not to exceed one academic year. The Commission shall make no further payments under the loan assumption agreement until the applicable teaching requirements specified have been satisfied. The program participant shall retain responsibility to continue to make any payments required under the terms of any outstanding loans to avoid defaulting on those loans.(c) If a natural disaster prevents a program participant from completing one of the required academic years of teaching service due to the interruption of instruction at the employing regionally accredited California college or university, the term of the loan assumption agreement shall be extended for the period of time equal to the period from the interruption of instruction at the employing regionally accredited California college or university to the resumption of instruction. The Commission shall make no further payments under the loan assumption agreement until the applicable teaching requirements have been satisfied. The program participant shall retain responsibility to continue to make any payments required under the terms of any outstanding loans to avoid defaulting on those loans.Cal. Code Regs.
