Minnesota conditions a private career school license on a continuous surety bond filed with the Office of Higher Education under Minn. Stat. 136A.822. The amount is 10% of the prior year’s net tuition revenue, with a $10,000 minimum. This is the corporation version — we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard private school bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the Office of Higher Education. Here is the whole thing:
Your school details, the bond amount (10% of last year’s net tuition, $10,000 minimum), and the effective date — that is the entire application.
No credit check and no waiting — the executed bond is generated as soon as you pay. Larger amounts may get a quick review.
Submit the executed bond with your private career school registration or renewal. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the office insists on them.
Bond amount × 3% = your premium, one-time, $275 minimum. Enter 10% of last year’s net tuition (minimum $10,000) and the premium updates.
Minnesota licenses private career schools through the Office of Higher Education under Minn. Stat. ch. 136A. No license issues unless the school files a continuous corporate surety bond conditioned on the faithful performance of all contracts and agreements with students — that is the core promise of Minn. Stat. 136A.822.
The bond runs to the State of Minnesota and to any student with a cause of action for breach of a contract or agreement made by the school. If a school takes tuition and fails to deliver the training, or closes mid-program, harmed students can recover against the bond.
The amount is 10% of the preceding year’s net revenue from student tuition, fees, and other required institutional charges, but never less than $10,000; a school operating at multiple locations may combine revenue across locations. This is the corporation version — the corporation is the principal. Enter the figure the office calculated and we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
Submit the application with your required bond amount — the executed private school bond is generated instantly, ready to file with the Office of Higher Education.
