(2) The end of the second week of each quarter.
(3) At the end of 20% of the scheduled instruction for summer sessions, special sessions and irregularly scheduled sessions and courses.
(b) Enrollment at the end of the periods prescribed in subsection (a) shall be considered final for the purposes of § 35.61 (relating to full-time equivalent enrollment).
(c) In the event that a disruption of the academic term occurs through no fault of the student body, which results in loss of opportunity to be provided the scheduled instruction for that academic term within the time frame specified in the catalog, the college shall declare that academic term void and shall provide a refund to students according to policy established by the college and approved by the Secretary.
