Section 487

    (a) ) is amended by adding at the end the following new 
paragraph:
 ``

    (30)
        (A) The institution will provide to each student 
 admitted to an undergraduate or graduate program--
 ``
            (i) a multi-year tuition and fee schedule; or
 ``
            (ii) a single-year tuition and fee schedule, and 
 a nonbinding, multi-year estimate of net costs after 
 all financial aid is awarded, assuming constant family 
 and student income, assets, and relevant circumstances.
 ``
        (B) Multi-year schedules and estimates required by 
 subparagraph
        (A) --
 ``
            (i) may include a percentage or dollar increase 
 or decrease of any size the institution determines to 
 be appropriate from one year to the next; and
 ``
            (ii) shall indicate, on a year-by-year basis, 
 costs for the normal duration of such student's 
 undergraduate or graduate program.
 ``
            (C) Institutions that elect a single-year tuition and fee 
 schedule under subparagraph
        (A)
            (ii) shall include with each 
 multi-year estimate provided under such subparagraph the 
 average deviation, in percentage terms, between previous year 
 estimates and actual net costs for students at their 
 institution.
 ``
            (D) The Secretary shall waive the requirements of 
 subparagraph
        (A) if the institution demonstrates to the 
 Secretary that the requirements of subparagraph
        (A) are not 
 practicable because of the occurrence of one or more events 
 causing the institution severe economic distress, dramatic 
 reduction of State or Federal aid, or any other circumstance 
 determined to be appropriate by the Secretary.''.

    (b) Effective Date.--The amendment made by subsection

    (a) shall be
