Who Needs This Bond?
Private postsecondary school owners, career college operators, and vocational training providers in North Carolina are the applicants who need this bond. If you are opening or renewing a license for a private institution that charges tuition and provides postsecondary education or occupational training, you fall into this category. It applies to for-profit and qualifying non-profit schools subject to state oversight.
What is this Bond For?
North Carolina requires this bond to safeguard students who enroll and pay tuition at private postsecondary institutions. If your school closes unexpectedly, fails to deliver promised instruction, or misuses student funds, the bond provides a financial remedy for affected students. It holds your institution accountable to the terms under which it was licensed to operate in the state.
When is it Required?
Applying for or renewing your license to operate a postsecondary education institution in North Carolina is the specific moment that makes this bond mandatory. You must have the bond in place before the state will approve your application or allow your school to continue enrolling students. Operating without this bond means operating without a valid license.
Where Does it Apply?

All private and career schools subject to North Carolina's postsecondary licensing requirements must comply with this bonding obligation.
