I learned the critical requirements for CSC on-site survey visits, timely submission of the Annual Enrollment and Outcome Report by December 1, Certificate of Approval renewal processes (30 days prior with fees), effective student complaint resolution procedures, consequences of violations (including 100% refunds), and procedures for school closures and teach-outs.
