§ 71397. Processing of Completed Applications; Appeal of Denials, Conditional Registration and Grounds for Revocation.
(1) Conditional registration shall be issued to those institutions which answer “yes” to any question in sections 7 or 9 of the Form Application 94801.5 referenced in section 71396 and for whom the Bureau determines that an unconditional registration is not in the public interest based on the criteria set forth in this section. For the purposes of this section, “action” shall include enforcement actions by state or federal authorities, civil actions, adverse action by an accreditor, borrower defense claim, or any other action as specified or disclosed in section 9 of Form Application 94801.5 referenced in section 71396. In determining if an unconditional registration is not in the public interest, the Bureau shall consider the following:
(3) A denial shall be issued if the Bureau determines there is a substantial risk of harm posed to California residents by the institution if it were permitted to enroll California residents based on the criteria enumerated in subdivision (a)(1) or on the applicant's failure to comply with any requirements set forth in this Article or Section 94801.5 of the Code.
(b)(1) An applicant denied a registration or re-registration under this Article or issued a conditional registration shall be given written notice of the Bureau's decision to deny or condition registration, the reasons for the decision and the right to request an informal conference in accordance with this section.
(3) Failure to comply with any restriction or condition placed on a registration by the Bureau is grounds for revocation of the registration. Any institution determined to be in noncompliance with any restriction or condition of a conditional registration shall receive written notice of the Bureau's decision to revoke the registration, the reasons for the decision and the right to request an informal conference in accordance with this section. The written notice shall also contain a written finding that there is a substantial risk of harm posed to California residents by the institution continuing to enroll California residents and the reasons for that finding using the criteria set forth in subdivision (a)(1).
(c) The applicant may reapply if denied or may, within 30 days of service of the decision to deny, revoke or issue conditional registration, submit a written request to the Bureau for an informal conference with the Bureau Chief or his or her designee. Failure to request an informal conference within 30 days from service of the denial, revocation or conditional registration waives the right to the informal conference.
(d) The Bureau Chief, or his or her designee, shall within 30 days from the Bureau's receipt of a written request for an informal conference, hold an informal conference with the applicant or out-of-state registered institution. The Bureau Chief, for good cause such as scheduling conflicts or medical emergencies, may extend the 30-day period. The informal conference may be by telephone.
(e) Prior to or at the informal conference, the applicant or out-of-state registered institution may submit to the Bureau Chief, or his or her designee, declarations or documents pertinent to the application for registration or re-registration, which shall be duly considered along with any other relevant documentation.
(f) Following the informal conference, the Bureau Chief, or his or her designee, will affirm, modify, or reverse the denial, revocation, or issuance of a conditional registration. A written order affirming, modifying, or reversing the denial, revocation or conditional registration decision shall be served on the applicant within 30 days from the informal conference, unless extended for good cause, including allowing the applicant or out-of-state registered institution to submit, and the Bureau to consider, additional documentation.
