Approval

BPPVE Sunset

In the State of California, private postsecondary schools such as CapStone University must receive approval to operate from the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education (BPPVE). CapStone has always operated with Bureau approval, and in compliance with all applicable state statutes, rules, and regulations. On July 1, 2007, the Bureau ceased operations in accordance with a "sunset" provision in the state law.

CapStone University continues in operation, and has entered into a voluntary agreement with the California Department of Consumer Affairs. Under that agreement, we continue to comply with all applicable state statutes, rules, and regulations that were in effect as of the close of business on June 30, 2007.

Currently, the California Legislature is considering two bills related to private postsecondary education. One of the stated purposes of Assembly Bill 1525 is to provide that institutions that have received approval as of June 30, 2007 continue to retain those licenses until July 1, 2008. This date is intended to cover the anticipated time the Bureau is not operative. The second bill, Senate Bill 823, is intended to create a new agency to succeed the Bureau on January 1, 2008.

For more information on the Bureau's sunset, we recommend that you subscribe to the State mailing list on this subject. To follow the progress of the two bills, we encourage you to subscribe to receive electronic updates.
