  • Career colleges and schools: This includes institutions offering programs in fields like healthcare, business, technology, cosmetology, and more.

The Ohio Certificate of Registration Bond serves several purposes:

  • Protects students: If the school closes abruptly or fails to deliver promised services, the bond can be used to compensate students for tuition paid or other financial losses.

  • Promotes compliance: The financial stake represented by the bond incentivizes schools to adhere to SBCCS regulations and operate ethically.
