STATE REGULATORY INFORMATION

Legislation governing certain private schools was enacted by the Alabama Legislature in December 1971 and April 1980. All schools, except those listed below, are required to secure a license from the Alabama State Department of Education. Schools operating in more than one location shall secure permits for operation at each location. The application shall be made on forms provided by the state and shall be accompanied by a fee of not more than two hundred and fifty dollars, and an acceptable surety of not more than ten thousand dollars. The surety shall provide indemnification to any student suffering loss as a result of any fraud or misrepresentation used in procuring his enrollment or participation in the school's program.

To be issued permits, schools shall comply with the following standards:

1. Courses, curriculum and instructions are consistent with Alabama State Department of Education standards.
2. Adequate space, equipment, instructional materials, and teachers are available to provide good training.
3. Satisfactory records of student attendance and progress must be kept and be available on request by any student.
4. A tuition and refund policy in compliance with the appropriate regulation.
5. A grievance policy directing aggrieved students to the first step toward resolving grievances.
6. Sound financing.
7. A student enrollment agreement or contract.
8. Schools or courses domiciled outside Alabama must designate a state agent who is a resident.
9. Licensure may not be advertised as an endorsement or recommendation, but it implies compliance with Alabama laws.
10. Advertising may indicate that the school is licensed.

The law does not apply to the following:

1. Schools operating on a nonprofit basis offering study in the ministry of any established church, denomination, or religion.
2. Courses conducted by employers exclusively for their employees and courses conducted by labor unions exclusively for their members.
