D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 5, r. 5-A8011
A licensed accredited, degree granting educational institution in good standing, which operates outside of the District of Columbia, may apply for a representative to hold an agent's license.
Grant of an agent's license by the Commission shall be subject to the following:
If an agent represents more than one (1) educational institution, a license must be obtained by each institution that the agent represents.
The Commission may deny an agent's license if the postsecondary degree granting educational institution or the proposed agent has violated a law or regulation of the District of Columbia or another jurisdiction. The Commission may also deny an agent's license if there are complaints against the postsecondary degree granting educational institution which indicate that the institution does not operate in either a sound or ethical manner or there are complaints against the proposed agent that indicate that the proposed agent does not possess the good character required of an agent.
The Commission, upon approval of an application for an agent's license, shall prepare and deliver to each agent a dated identification card, valid for one (1) year, containing the name and address of the agent and the employing educational institution, certifying that the person whose name appears on the card is an authorized agent of the postsecondary degree granting educational institution.
An agent shall carry the identification card and show it to prospective students upon request.
Each educational institution shall be liable for the acts of its agent(s).
An agent and the postsecondary degree granting educational institution must notify the Commission within forty-eight (48) hours after an agent is convicted of a felony. Whether or not appropriate notice is provided, the agent's license shall be deemed revoked automatically upon his or her conviction. The Commission may, upon the application of the postsecondary degree granting educational institution, consider reinstatement of the license of an agent convicted of a felony.
An agent's license does not authorize a postsecondary degree granting educational institution to operate or confer degrees in the District of Columbia.
A postsecondary degree granting educational institution's representative with an agent's license may only conduct recruiting and enrollment activities.
No agent may use a title that misrepresents his or her duties and responsibilities.
The Commission may deny or refuse to renew an agent's license if the representative or institution fails to comply with a law or regulation in the District of Columbia or another jurisdiction.
The Commission shall not issue or review an agent's license until the postsecondary degree granting educational institution has filed with the Commission a corporate surety bond or other security approved by the Commission.
The agent's surety bond required by subsection 8011.13 shall be:
The postsecondary degree granting educational institution must file an application for renewal of the agent's license sixty (60) days before the expiration date of the license. The application must include the applicable fee. The agent's license shall continue in effect until the Commission takes action on the renewal application.
If an agent's license expires before a renewal application has been filed, the license shall be void. At the discretion of the Commission, the institution may be required to apply for a new license for its agent as if the agent had never been licensed. A reinstatement application will not be considered in less than six (6) months after the expiration date of the license.
