What is the Higher Education Licensure Commission (HELC)?
The Higher Education Licensure Commission (HELC) is the regulatory and consumer protection body that ensures legitimate and quality postsecondary education in Washington, DC. The HELC plays a crucial role by authorizing institutions to operate, approving academic programs, and overseeing the issuance or denial of licenses to private postsecondary institutions within the District.
Additionally, the HELC helps maintain public trust in higher education by ensuring compliance with laws and regulations, maintaining student records from closed institutions, issuing certified transcripts, and investigating complaints against institutions. The Commission’s focus on quality education safeguards public interest and reinforces the integrity of postsecondary education in the District.
