Such tuition credit shall be calculated for each semester, quarter or term of study that tuition is charged and tuition for the corresponding semester, quarter or term shall not be due for any student eligible to receive such tuition credit until such credit is calculated, the student and school where the student is enrolled is notified of the tuition credit amount, and such tuition credit is applied toward the tuition charged.
