What it is and who needs it.
What the postsecondary bond actually covers
Any institution offering postsecondary degree programs in Montana must obtain prior authorization from the Board of Regents of Higher Education, administered by the Office of the Commissioner of Higher Education under Board of Regents Policy 221. The bond is a student-protection guarantee filed as part of that authorization.
The bond is generally required of schools that lack a federal financial-responsibility composite score of 1.0 or greater — the U.S. Department of Education measure of an institution’s financial health. A school that clears that threshold may not need to post a bond; the Commissioner’s office tells you whether yours does, and at what amount.
The standard figure on the Board of Regents form is $10,000, payable to the State for the benefit of students — it backs tuition and fees if the school fails to deliver the education it was authorized to provide. Enter the amount your authorization names, and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.
