Arizona Private Postsecondary Education Bond

A private postsecondary education bond is required by the State of Arizona as a prerequisite to obtain a license to legally operate a private postsecondary institution in Arizona.

The Arizona State Board for Private Postseconedary Education is charged with licensing and regulating private postsecondary private institutions operating vocational programs and granting degrees within the State of Arizona. The Board issues two different types of licenses: vocational and degree-granting.

Applicants for a license to operate a private postsecondary educational institution are required by the State of Arizona to obtain a bond.

You are required to obtain a surety bond whether your postsecondary private institution is degree-granting or offers vocational programs.

The Arizona State Board for Private Postseconedary Education uses the following guidelines to determine the amount of the surety bond required:

A minimum amount required for all applicants and licensees is $15,000.

For accredited institutions, if the annual gross tuition revenue (GTR) is less than $400,000, 15% of annual GTR is to be added to the $15,000 surety bond amount. If the annual GTR is greater than or equal to $400,000, 10% of annual GTR is to be added to the $15,000.

For non-accredited institutions, if the annual GTR is less than $400,000, 20% of annual GTR is to be added to the $15,000 surety bond amount. If the annual GTR is greater than or equal to $400,000, 15% of annual GTR is to be added to the $15,000 surety bond amount.
