Institutions that wish to change or add locations must submit for approval the following Request for New/Additional Location to the Higher Education Licensure Commission. One individual copy of the request should be submitted along with seven flash drives each containing an electronic copy of the complete application. The flash drives should be labeled with the institution’s name. A check or money order in the amount of $200 payable to the DC Treasurer must also be submitted with the application and delivered to:

Higher Education Licensure Commission
1050 First St, NE
Fifth Floor
Washington, DC 20002

The review and approval process takes 60-90 days depending on the timeframe the request is submitted as well as the completeness of the submission. Requests for New/Additional locations are acted on during the public meeting of the Commission.

An institution cannot begin operations or advertising a new location until the Commission has approved the request for a new location.
