New Institution Application
To obtain an initial license to operate in the State of Florida planning to offer degrees, diplomas, or certificate programs, a person must first go through the Commission’s license application process. The process normally takes between 4 and 6 months and involves:
- Submitting a completed application package with all required documentation
- Submitting all required fees
- Review by staff within 30 days of receipt
- Written notification by Licensure Staff of any omissions/deficiencies found in your application package
- Applicant response to written notification in a timely and complete manner
- Staff finalizing application for full Commission review
- Presentation to the Commission for Independent Education for consideration of your application (It is strongly recommended that a representative be in attendance to discuss any concerns.)
- Commission grants approval or denial of the application
NOTE: An institution may not advertise, recruit students, accept any fees or tuition monies, or hold classes until the printed Provisional License is received.
