A school shall maintain adequate security for completion certificates and
letters. Compliance with this requirement will be determined by the commission
during all school audits. A school may withhold a student's certificate of
completion of a course until the student has fulfilled the student's financial
obligation to the school.

in any course for a minimum of five years. The full class file and student
enrollment agreements must be retained for at least 12 months following completion
of the class.
(5) A school shall maintain financial records sufficient to
reflect at any time the financial condition of the school. A school's financial
statement and balance sheets must be available for audit by commission personnel,
and the commission may require presentation of financial statements or other
financial records.
(j) Advertising. The following practices are prohibited:
(1) using any advertising which does not contain the school's
name;
(2) representing that the school's program is the only vehicle
by which a person may satisfy educational requirement for licensing;
(3) conveying a false impression of the school's size, importance,
location, equipment or facilities;
(4) making unsubstantiated claims that the school's programs
are superior to any other course of instruction;
(5) promoting the school directly or indirectly as a job placement
agency, unless the school is participating in a program recognized by federal,
state, or local government and is providing job placement services to the
extent the services are required by the program; or
(6) making any statement which is misleading, likely to deceive
the public, or which in any manner tends to create a misleading impression.
