About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A private school agent in Alabama is a representative who, for a private postsecondary school, solicits or enrolls students. The Alabama Community College System (ACCS) issues the agent permit, and Ala. Code §16-46 conditions it on a $2,500 surety bond.

The bond is a student-protection guarantee: it protects any student who suffers loss from the agent’s misrepresentation, false advertising, breach of contract, or soliciting without a permit. Students who are harmed can file a complaint with ACCS and recover against the bond.

It is a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety, and the State of Alabama through ACCS, with prospective students as the protected parties. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — agents who represent schools honestly treat the bond as a routine permit formality.

Ala. Code §16-46 (Private School Agent)Code of Alabama 1975, Title 16 (Education), Chapter 46 (Regulation of Certain Schools and Courses of Instruction), §§16-46-1 through 16-46-10, requires a private school agent — a representative who solicits or enrolls students for a private postsecondary school — to be permitted through the Alabama Community College System and to file a $2,500 surety bond. The bond protects students against loss from the agent’s misrepresentation, breach of contract, or soliciting without a permit. Confirm the current amount and form with ACCS.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the Alabama private school agent bond? +
The bond amount is fixed at $2,500. At a flat 3% that would be $75, but our minimum premium is $275 — so the price is $275. We would rather tell you it sits at our floor than invent a bigger number.
Do I pay the $2,500? +
No. You pay $275. The $2,500 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
How is this different from the school’s own bond? +
This bond covers the agent — the individual who solicits or enrolls students. The school itself files a separate license bond ($20,000 non-degree or $50,000 degree-granting). Both exist to protect students, but they cover different parties.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount license bonds like this one don't need one.
What does the bond protect against? +
It protects students from an agent’s misrepresentation, false advertising, breach of contract, or soliciting without a permit. A harmed student can complain to ACCS and recover against the bond.
