1. (Name of Institution) is currently licensed by the Board of Regents of the State of Louisiana. Licenses are renewed by the State Board of Regents every two years. Licensed institutions have met minimal operational standards set forth by the state, but licensure does not constitute accreditation, guarantee the transferability of credit, nor signify that programs are certifiable by any professional agency or organization.

2. Any licensed institution wishing to use the state name and licensing agency in any promotion or advertising is restricted to the language which appears above. The statement must appear in its entirety and any modifications are not permissible under these rules or the law.

3. Advertising shall not include false or misleading statements with respect to the institution, its personnel, courses, or services, or the occupational opportunities of its graduates.

4. Institutions claiming accreditation by agencies not recognized by the United States Department of Education must clearly state in all advertising and promotional literature that the institutions' accreditation is not recognized by either the United States Department of Education or the State of Louisiana.

1 Neither the institution nor its agents shall engage in false advertising or other misleading practices.
