Sec. 254.7  Deceptive sales practices.

    (a) It is deceptive for an industry member to use advertisements or 
promotional materials that misrepresent, directly or by implication, 
that employment is being offered or that a talent hunt or contest is 
being conducted. For example, captions such as, ``Men/women wanted to 
train for * * *,'' ``Help Wanted,'' ``Employment,'' ``Business 
Opportunities,'' and words or terms of similar import, may falsely 
convey that employment is being offered and therefore should be avoided.
    (b) It is deceptive for an industry member to fail to disclose to a 
prospective student, prior to enrollment, the total cost of the program 
and the school's refund policy if the student does not complete the 
program.
    (c) It is deceptive for an industry member to fail to disclose to a 
prospective student, prior to enrollment, all requirements for 
successfully completing the course or program and the circumstances that 
would constitute grounds for terminating the student's enrollment prior 
to completion of the program.
