2005 Minnesota Statutes - 141.251 — License renewal.

     141.251 License renewal. 


    Subdivision 1.    Application.  Application for renewal 
 of a license must be made at least 60 days before expiration of 
 the current license on a form provided by the office.  A renewal 
 application shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable fee as 
 provided in section 141.255 that is sufficient to recover, but 
 does not exceed, the administrative costs of the office. 


    Subd. 2.    Conditions.  The office shall adopt rules 
 establishing the conditions for renewal of a license.  The 
 conditions shall permit two levels of renewal based on the 
 record of the school.  A school that has demonstrated the 
 quality of its program and operation through longevity and 
 performance in the state may renew its license based on a 
 relaxed standard of scrutiny.  A school that has been in 
 operation in Minnesota for a limited period of time or that has 
 not performed adequately on performance indicators shall renew 
 its license based on a strict standard of scrutiny.  The office 
 shall specify minimum longevity standards and performance 
 indicators that must be met before a school may be permitted to 
 operate under the relaxed standard of scrutiny.  The performance 
 indicators used in this determination shall include, but not be 
 limited to:  degree granting status, regional or national 
 accreditation, loan default rates, placement rate of graduates, 
 student withdrawal rates, audit results, student complaints, and 
 school status with the United States Department of Education.  
 Schools that meet the requirements established in rule shall be 
 required to submit a full relicensure report once every four 
 years, and in the interim years will be exempt from the 
 requirements of section 141.25, subdivision 3, clauses (4), (5), 
 and (8), and Minnesota Rules, parts 4880.1700, subpart 6; and 
 4880.2100, subpart 4.
