What it is and who needs it.
What the proprietary school bond actually covers
North Carolina regulates private proprietary schools under Chapter 115D, Article 8, with licensing run by the State Board of Community Colleges through its Office of Proprietary Schools. Operating a proprietary school without the required license and bond is a misdemeanor under G.S. 115D-96.
The guaranty bond under G.S. 115D-95 protects students if the school closes or fails to deliver the training they paid for. At first licensure the bond must be sufficient to protect every enrolled student, with a statutory minimum of $25,000. At renewal it is generally tied to the greatest amount of unearned (prepaid) tuition the school held during the prior fiscal year.
It works alongside the state’s Student Protection Fund (G.S. 115D-95.1), which schools also pay into. The bond and the fund together stand behind tuition refunds — and if the surety pays a claim, the school repays the surety. Whatever amount your licensing letter names, pricing starts from $100 and the application collects no credit information.
