STATE REGULATORY INFORMATION

The Maryland State Department of Education has been designated as the sole agency for all federal vocational funds provided under the Carl D. Perkins Act. These funds are distributed on both an annual basis by a formula allocation and on a special project basis to the 18 publicly taxsupported community colleges located throughout the state. In addition to public postsecondary community colleges, vocational-technical education is provided by two year independent colleges and independent postsecondary schools.

Under statutory authority established in 1976, the Maryland State Board for Higher Education (SBHE) prescribes rules and regulations for approval and accreditation of all public and private schools offering postsecondary education. Nontransferable Certificates of Approval are issued to independent postsecondary schools for a specified period of time or until revoked by formal board action. Certificates of Approval are issued to any applicant operating an independent postsecondary school whose conditions of entrance, scholarship, educational qualifications, standards, and facilities are adequate for the program, training, and courses to be given.

No independent postsecondary schools, except those formally approved by SBHE action, may permit a sales representative or solicitor to solicit students without first securing an identification card issued by the board. Additional requirements are promulgated under approved regulations.
