Florida CIE
new school licensure.

I assist new schools and institutions expanding into Florida through the CIE licensure process, from application preparation and submission to deficiency responses, Commission meeting appearances, and follow-up on clerked legal orders. My work draws on 23 years at CIE and thousands of applications reviewed.

HOW I CAN HELP
01

Application preparation & submission

I prepare your CIE licensure application and supporting materials, including institutional policies, catalogs, enrollment agreements, and program information. I review the package for CIE compliance and assist with submission.

02

Responding to deficiency letters

I review CIE’s deficiency letter, explain the issues raised, and help prepare the response and revised documents. I work with your institution to address each item and submit the supporting information.

03

Appearance at a CIE meeting

I help prepare your institution for its appearance before the Commission and attend the CIE meeting with you. Preparation includes reviewing your application, outstanding issues, and questions that may arise during consideration of your school.

04

Responding to clerked legal orders

I assist with the compliance response to a clerked CIE legal order, including the required documentation, corrective actions, and follow-up submissions. I help your institution address the conditions and deadlines stated in the order.
