About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Louisiana regulates proprietary schools — private trade, career, and vocational schools — through the Board of Regents. Under R.S. 17:3141.9, no one may sell a course of instruction or recruit students for such a school without first obtaining a solicitor permit, and the permit application must be accompanied by a $1,000 surety bond.

The bond is continuous, issued by a surety authorized in Louisiana, and filed with the commissioner of higher education. It is conditioned to indemnify any student who suffers a loss from fraud or misrepresentation the solicitor used to procure enrollment.

A solicitor who represents more than one school needs a separate permit for each. If you recruit for a single school, this individual $1,000 bond is your filing; a school covering all its solicitors at once uses a blanket bond instead. We issue either at honest, flat pricing.

R.S. 17:3141.9 (proprietary-school solicitor)Louisiana R.S. 17:3141.9 requires a person who sells a course of instruction or solicits students for a proprietary school to obtain a solicitor permit, accompanied by a continuous $1,000 surety bond filed with the commissioner of higher education and conditioned to indemnify any student suffering loss from the permittee’s fraud or misrepresentation in procuring enrollment. A solicitor representing multiple schools needs a separate permit for each; a school may instead file a blanket bond covering its agents at $1,000 each.
