the minimum standards, the board for proprietary education shall issue
an authorization to the postsecondary credit bearing proprietary
educational institution upon payment of an additional fee of at least
twenty-five dollars ($25). An applicant's market research may not be

postsecondary credit bearing proprietary educational institution that has
been authorized by an accrediting agency recognized by the United

board for proprietary education as meeting or exceeding the
requirements of this chapter.
(c) A valid license, authorization to operate, or other form of
authorization issued to a postsecondary credit bearing proprietary
educational institution by another state may be accepted, instead of

of this chapter; and
(2) the other state will, in turn, extend reciprocity to
postsecondary credit bearing proprietary educational institutions
authorized by the board for proprietary education.

reciprocity agreements and authorize an institution to operate in
Indiana, if the:
(1) institution; and
(2) state in which both the institution's:

educational institution may renew the institution's authorization
annually upon:
