Nevada requires a private postsecondary educational institution to file a surety bond under NRS 394.480 with the Commission on Postsecondary Education — a guarantee that indemnifies students if the school violates the licensing law. The statute sets a $10,000 minimum, or a greater amount the Commission determines; we issue it at a flat 3% with no credit check.
















No underwriting queue for the standard school bond — enter your amount, pay, and file with the Commission. Here is the whole thing:

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.
Submit the application with the bond amount the Commission set — the executed bond is generated instantly, ready to file.
