Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE)

American Vision University operates in compliance with the California Education Code and the California Code of Regulations, under the authority of the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education. The University has received institutional approval from the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education (BPPE) in accordance with California Education Code Section 94900
Ensuring compliance with regulations is crucial to American Vision University (AVU), especially with regard to distance education. In October 2010, the U.S. Department of Education (U.S. DoE) introduced new regulations, one of which mandates institutions offering distance education to obtain authorization from states where enrolled students reside. While details of this regulation are being clarified, AVU is actively pursuing authorization from other states. Until proper authorization is obtained, AVU cannot accept or serve students from US states other than California and internationally. Rest assured, we are committed to meeting all necessary requirements and expanding our reach to offer high-quality education to students everywhere.
