CPA Program Status
TOM TORLAKSON
State Superintendent
of Public Instruction
• Courses previously granted A-G status
may be submitted for “program status”
by representatives responsible for
oversight of the “program”. This allows
us to offer the courses as A-G
approved, without individual
applications to UCOP. Courses must be
taught with fidelity and are monitored.
• Check your conference program for
workshops!
