What this bond does

The published form names THEC as obligee and addresses covered students, enrollees, parents or guardians, subject to the stated decision, loss and limit provisions.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Match the institution's authorization

THEC's September 2024 form identifies the principal institution and location and states a $10,000 penal sum. Use the legal operator and authorization details requested by the commission.

Keep separate campuses and entities clear in the application. The bond does not create institutional authorization or accreditation.

Understand the form's student protection

The form addresses losses from violations of the cited postsecondary law and rules. Its payment provisions refer to final, non-appealable decisions by the commission, tuition guaranty fund board or a court with jurisdiction.

The stated security is not a promise to refund every student's tuition in full. The conditions and aggregate penal sum govern the surety obligation.

Purchase and maintain the commission security

Select Purchase Now and provide the THEC form and institution identity. Review the amount and execution before filing.

The form includes sixty days' written notice before surety release and preserves specified earlier obligations. Coordinate security with authorization and any closure or academic-record duties rather than cancelling solely because enrollment stops.
