Assembly Bill 1525, which created the voluntary agreement and Senate Bill 45, which amended and extended Assembly Bill 1525, both became inoperative on July 1, 2008. While we encourage schools to comply with the Act as it existed on June 30, 2007, we are no longer accepting voluntary agreements.

If you are a school and plan on offering a curriculum that may lead to licensure, certification or registration, please check with the agency or entity that licenses, certifies or registers the profession in order to confirm that your students may be eligible for licensure, certification or registration upon completion of the program you intend to offer.

If you are a student please check with the licensing, certifying or registering agency or entity to be sure you will be able to become licensed, certified or registered prior to enrolling in school. For more information on what to look for when evaluating a potential private postsecondary institution please click on the "Students" tab above.

Presently there is one piece of legislation that has been introduced that would create the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE). The BPPE would have regulatory oversight of private postsecondary schools. If you are interested in viewing that legislation you should visit www.leginfo.ca.gov click on "Bill Information" at the bottom of the page and type "AB 48" in the space provided.
