Mississippi conditions a proprietary school's certificate of registration on a $50,000 surety bond filed with the Commission on Proprietary School and College Registration under Miss. Code § 75-60-17. Ours is $1,500 flat — 3% of the bond amount, identical for every school. One soft credit pull, e-signed in 1–2 business days.
















Your certificate of registration is waiting on this bond. Here's the entire process — no broker phone tag:
Business details, owner information, a few commercial questions, and an effective date. The only extra step is a one-time consent to a soft credit pull.
Most of these clear quickly; if underwriting needs anything, you hear from an underwriter within 48 hours. The credit check is a soft pull that never affects your score.
Pay online and receive the executed bond ready to file with your certificate of registration application. Wet-ink originals mailed whenever the Commission insists.
$50,000 bond × 3% = $1,500, one-time per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
Mississippi licenses proprietary (private vocational and career) schools through the Commission on Proprietary School and College Registration under the Proprietary Schools and Colleges law (Mississippi Code chapter 75-60). A school's certificate of registration is conditioned on a $50,000 surety bond.
The bond is a student-protection guarantee. Under Miss. Code § 75-60-17, it indemnifies any person who suffers loss as a result of a false certification, a school closing, or fraud or misrepresentation used to procure enrollment — including the repayment of tuition paid in advance by a student.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the State of Mississippi (the obligee), with your students as the protected parties. If the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety — schools that deliver the training students paid for treat the bond as a registration formality.
These are the actual underwriting fields, including a one-time consent to a soft credit pull. Submit once and your bond is typically issued within 1–2 business days.
