Ohio § 1713.06

§ 1713.06.

If any institution, school, or person confers degrees, diplomas, or other written

evidences of proficiency or achievement or offers or intends to offer a course or

courses in this state applicable to requirements for a diploma or degree without the

certificate of authorization required by section 1713.02 of the Revised Code , the chancellor of higher education may, through the office of the attorney general,

apply to the court of common pleas in the county in which such institution, school,

or person is operating to restrain such institution, school, or person from the exercise

of its franchise, if the institution, school, or person is a corporation, from the

awarding of the degrees or diplomas the institution, school, or person is not authorized

to award, and from offering any course or courses or enrolling any student in any

course or courses it is not authorized to conduct. The chancellor may, through the office of the attorney general, petition the court

of common pleas in the county in which the institution, school, or person is operating

for an order enjoining the awarding of diplomas or degrees, the offering of courses,

and the enrolling of students.  The court may grant such injunctive relief upon a showing that the institution,

school, or person named in the petition is awarding degrees or diplomas, offering

courses applicable to requirements for such degrees or diplomas, or enrolling students

in such courses to be offered in the state without receiving the appropriate certificate

of authorization issued by the chancellor.
