206-1 Wyo. Code R. §§ 1-9 - Minimum Standards

No post secondary proprietary school as defined by W.S. 21-11-101(a), or proprietor thereof, shall solicit students, do business in, or operate in Wyoming without first obtaining a private school license. A license will be granted when it has been determined by the State Department that the Institution is in compliance with the following minimum standards:

(a) Any school licensed by the State Department shall conduct only those courses which are listed on the licensing application documents. Any significant changes in course content must be reported by letter to the State Department within thirty (30) days after such changes have been made.

(b) There is in the school adequate space, equipment, instructional material, and instructional personnel to provide academic instruction commensurate with course offerings.

(c) The education and experience qualifications of administrative and instructional staff are such as will insure that students will receive educational services consistent with the 1-4 stated objectives for which the educational services were offered.

(d) The school has submitted a copy of all course outlines, a schedule of tuition, fees, and other charges, regulations pertaining to absences, a grading system, and rules of operation and conduct furnished each person upon enrollment. Standards of progress for all post secondary proprietary schools licensed by the State Department will define the minimum grades considered satisfactory, conditions for interruption due to unsatisfactory progress, a description of the probationary period if any, and conditions for reentrance for those students dismissed for unsatisfactory progress.

(e) Upon completion of education, the student is awarded a certified diploma/certificate by the school indicating the education was satisfactorily completed.

(f) Adequate records are kept to show attendance, progress or grades, and satisfactory standards relating to attendance, progress and conduct are enforced. The records and accounts of post secondary proprietary schools licensed by the State Department that pertain to student enrollment and progress will be kept in good account and retained as permanent records.

(g) The school complies with all local, city, county, state, and federal regulations pertaining to said school. No post secondary proprietary school should deny enrollment to any prospective student, or make any distinction or classification of students because of race, creed, color, sex, or national origin.

(h) The school does not utilize advertising which tends to mislead students or falsify information regarding job placement or accreditation by the state. If a school wishes to refer to the fact that it is licensed in the "State of Wyoming", it shall refer to that fact only in the following phraseology: "Licensed by the State of Wyoming as a post secondary proprietary school under W.S. W.S. W.S. 21-11-101 through 21-11-107."

(i) The school's administrators, directors, owners and instructors are persons who have not been convicted of fraud, moral turpitude, or other felonies, nor participated in behavior which lead to revocation of the school's license in another state or country.

(j) The school has and maintains a policy for the refund of the unused portion of tuition, fees, and other charges in the event the student fails to enter the course or withdraws or is discontinued there from at any time prior to completion.
