About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the private school bond actually covers

Wisconsin requires private trade, business, technical, and postsecondary schools to be approved before enrolling students, and a tuition-protection surety bond is part of that approval. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it backs the prepaid tuition and fees a student — or a parent or sponsor — pays in advance.

If a school closes or fails to deliver the courses after payment, the student, parent, or sponsor is entitled to a refund of unearned tuition, and the surety pays valid claims up to the penal sum. Indemnification is limited to advance tuition, book, supply, or equipment fees, and total surety liability cannot exceed the bond amount regardless of how many years the bond runs.

Wisconsin's Educational Approval Board was eliminated in 2017; the Educational Approval Program now sits within the Department of Safety and Professional Services (Wis. Admin. Code ch. SPS 404). The required amount is set by that authority and generally tracks the advance tuition you hold — confirm your figure on your approval, and we'll issue it.

Wis. Admin. Code ch. SPS 404 (Educational Approval Program)Wisconsin's tuition-protection bonding for approved private and postsecondary schools is administered under the Educational Approval Program, now within the Department of Safety and Professional Services (Wis. Admin. Code ch. SPS 404; the standalone Educational Approval Board was eliminated effective 2017). The bond protects students, parents, and sponsors for unearned advance tuition and fees if a school fails to deliver courses, with indemnification capped at advance tuition/book/supply/equipment fees and total surety liability capped at the penal sum. Confirm your required amount on your approval, as it is set by the approving authority.
