What it is and who needs it.
What the HPEAP bond actually covers
Hawaii authorizes private colleges and universities through the Post-Secondary Education Authorization Program (HPEAP) under HRS chapter 305J, administered by the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs. An institution must demonstrate financial integrity at the time of application — and if it cannot, it files a surety bond in favor of the State before receiving authorization.
The bond is a student-protection guarantee: it is conditioned to indemnify any student (or a parent or legal guardian) whom the director finds to have suffered a loss of tuition or fees from a violation of the chapter. If the institution ceases operation, the director may demand payment for refunds or alternative enrollment.
Under HRS 305J-14 the bond is at least $50,000, recalculated annually as a reasonable estimate of the maximum prepaid, unearned tuition and fees the institution holds. The bond runs concurrently with the authorization period. Confirm your figure with the DCCA, enter it, and we issue at a flat 3% with no credit check.
