What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A barber college bond is a student-protection guarantee. Students pay tuition up front for a program that runs months — Michigan wants a financial backstop standing behind the contract they signed if the college fails to deliver.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the people of Michigan (the obligee), with your enrolled students as the protected parties. The statute conditions the bond on the faithful performance and satisfaction of the contractual rights of students — if the college closes mid-program or breaks its enrollment contract, a harmed student can recover against the bond.
The bond must stay active for as long as the college is licensed. Let it lapse and the license can be acted against — so we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out, keeping your $10,000 filing continuous.
