Course Approvals

California K–12 and County Office of Education school districts providing adult education must have their courses approved by their local board and on record with the California Department of Education (California Education Code Sections 51056 and 52506). Courses may be selected from the Approved Course List below.

Adult schools must submit annually through the Course Approval System on the California Adult Education Online Application and Reporting site (login required). Course submittals are due each year before the beginning of the program year. They may be revised and resubmitted for approval during the year as needed. An exemption for non-instruction is available.
