About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the solicitor bond covers

Michigan's Proprietary Schools Act (Act 148 of 1943), administered by LARA, regulates private, for-profit trade schools, business schools, institutes, and correspondence schools — and the people who solicit and enroll students on their behalf. A solicitor is the school's recruiting representative.

Because a solicitor takes enrollment commitments (and sometimes money) from prospective students, the act provides for solicitors to be regulated, and a bond may be required as a condition of registration. The bond backs the solicitor's honest dealing with students during enrollment.

Where the school's own surety is conditioned to indemnify students if the school closes (MCL 395.102b), the solicitor bond focuses on the recruiting representative. The amount is set by department rule. We issue whatever figure the department named, with pricing from $100; the application collects no credit information — and if you are not certain a solicitor bond is currently required for your situation, confirm with LARA before you buy; we will only issue what you actually need.

Proprietary Schools Act, Act 148 of 1943Michigan's Proprietary Schools Act (Act 148 of 1943, MCL 395.101 et seq.), administered by LARA, regulates proprietary schools and their solicitors. The school itself must provide evidence of surety to indemnify students if it closes (MCL 395.102b); requirements applying specifically to solicitors, including any bond and its amount, are set by department rule. Confirm with LARA whether a solicitor bond is currently required for your registration and at what amount.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much is the Michigan proprietary school solicitor bond?Pricing is 1% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum — not a credit or underwriting tier. The bond amount itself is set by department rule under the Proprietary Schools Act. Enter the figure the department gave you at the application and your exact price appears.
What is a "solicitor"?A solicitor is the representative who recruits and enrolls students on behalf of a proprietary school. Because they take enrollment commitments from prospective students, the Proprietary Schools Act provides for them to be regulated.
Is this the same as the school's bond?No. The school provides its own evidence of surety that indemnifies students if the school closes (MCL 395.102b). The solicitor bond covers the recruiting representative. If you operate the school itself, you likely need the proprietary school bond instead.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. Larger bond amounts may get a quick soft-pull review — never a hard inquiry, and it never affects your credit score.
What if I am not sure I need this bond?Solicitor requirements under the Proprietary Schools Act are set by department rule and can change. Confirm with LARA whether a solicitor bond is currently required for your registration and at what amount — we will only issue what you actually need.
