What is this bond?

A District of Columbia Non-Degree Postsecondary Institution Bond is a financial guarantee required for certain private educational facilities to operate legally in the district. It ensures that the institution will adhere to all local regulations and properly handle student tuition. If the school closes unexpectedly or fails to deliver the promised education, the bond provides a mechanism to refund enrolled students.

Who needs it?

Private schools, vocational academies, and trade schools offering non-degree certificates or diplomas in Washington, D.C. generally need this bond. Owners and operators of these postsecondary educational institutions must secure it before obtaining their operating license.

Why is it required?

The local licensing agency requires this bond to protect students and their financial investments from institutional mismanagement or sudden closure. It acts as a safety net, guaranteeing that funds are available for tuition reimbursement if the educational program is not fulfilled as advertised. Requirements can vary, so institutions should verify specifics with the local issuing agency.
