About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the school bond actually guarantees

Nevada licenses private postsecondary educational institutions through the Commission on Postsecondary Education, and NRS 394.480 conditions that license on a surety bond. The bond is a student-indemnity guarantee: it is payable to the State of Nevada for the benefit of any student, enrollee, or parent the Commission determines was damaged by the school violating the licensing statutes (NRS 394.383 to 394.560).

The statute sets the amount at $10,000, or a greater figure the Commission determines — and the Commission may require an additional bond. The bond is executed by the institution's owner as principal, a surety company as surety, and a Nevada-resident licensed agent. The same requirement applies to entities authorized to employ agents in the state.

A surety can be released on 30 days' written notice to the Administrator, but that release does not erase claims for damage that occurred while the bond was in force — and a school's license is suspended by operation of law the moment it is no longer covered. We keep your filing continuous and issue at a flat 3% with no credit check.

The bond is payable to the State of Nevada and conditioned to indemnify any student, enrollee, or parent the Commission determines was damaged by a violation of NRS 394.383 to 394.560.

Is there a credit check? +
No — this bond is issued with no credit pull. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review, which never affects your credit score.
What does the bond protect? +
It indemnifies any student, enrollee, or parent the Commission determines was damaged by the school violating the licensing statutes — for example, if the school closes or fails to deliver the education it sold. If the surety pays a claim, the school repays the surety.
