Agent Collaboration Qualifications: International Student Program

Mt. San Antonio College is seeking qualified agents to recruit international F-1 students through a commission-based agreement under solicitation number 2026-062, with responses due by August 13, 2026. The contract, effective for three academic years with an option to extend up to five years total, engages contractors as non-exclusive representatives to identify, screen, and refer prospective international students who meet the college’s academic and financial eligibility criteria. Contractors are responsible for promoting Mt. SAC’s over 400 degree and certificate programs using only pre-approved marketing materials, providing pre-departure orientation on U.S. study requirements, and ensuring students enroll and maintain good standing by completing at least 12 units and paying all tuition and fees by the 14th week of each semester. Compensation is contingent upon student retention through the second semester, though specific payment amounts are left blank and will be determined upon award. Contractors are strictly prohibited from accepting payments from students, making guarantees about admissions or immigration outcomes, or providing unauthorized immigration advice. All promotional content requires prior written approval from Mt. SAC’s International Student Program, and no admissions decisions may be made by the contractor—these remain solely at the discretion of the college. The agreement emphasizes ethical recruitment practices, alignment with institutional policies, and compliance with U.S. visa regulations, with invoicing submitted electronically to designated college staff and paid based on verified student enrollment and academic progress. Performance is tied directly to student success metrics, and the college retains full authority over acceptance, payment processing, and material approval. The contract does not specify pricing figures, formal evaluation factors, or federal acquisition regulations, instead operating as a performance-based service agreement under California state oversight, with the place of performance centered at Mt. SAC’s campus in Walnut.
