Compliant Access to California Students—Without Full BPPE Approval

If your school is based outside of California but offers distance education to California residents, you may be required to register with the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE). This process—known as Out-of-State Registration—is not a full approval to operate, but it still requires a detailed, regulation-compliant application.

At CPPC, we guide accredited out-of-state institutions through this process from start to finish, ensuring your registration submission is complete, accurate, and aligned with BPPE’s evolving standards.

Why Use This Service?

• ✅ Avoid Unintentional Violations
  Many schools don’t realize that enrolling California students—even online—can trigger state oversight. We confirm your eligibility and walk you through the required process.

• ✅ Complete a Complex Application—Correctly
  Out-of-State Registration is highly specific: the BPPE requires precise information about accreditation, distance learning operations, complaint handling, and disclosures. We help you get it right.

• ✅ Prevent Delays and Deficiency Notices
  Because this registration is reviewed under a unique set of criteria, many first-time applicants make avoidable mistakes. We prepare a fully compliant package to keep your timeline on track.

• ✅ Stay Compliant with Ongoing Requirements
  Even after registration, you must meet specific reporting and renewal requirements. We help you understand what comes next.

What’s Included:

• Eligibility screening to ensure your school qualifies for registration

• Preparation or review of the full BPPE Out-of-State Registration application

• Guidance on required documentation, including accreditation verification and student complaint procedures

• Review and formatting of marketing materials, catalogs, and enrollment agreements (as required)

• Response support for any follow-up questions or deficiency notices from the Bureau

Why CPPC?

Jeff Mackey, CPPC founder and former BPPE Licensing Manager, reviewed and approved nearly every current Out-of-State Registration on file with the Bureau today. He understands the nuances of this process better than anyone—and ensures your application is prepared exactly the way the Bureau expects.

“Out-of-state schools often assume California oversight doesn’t apply to them—until it’s too late. We help you stay ahead of compliance, while continuing to serve California students.”
