TABLE OF CONTENTS


The SB70 Annual Report is a California legislative requirement that tracks student outcomes at private postsecondary institutions receiving Cal Grant funding. The report provides comprehensive data on student enrollment, persistence, and graduation rates to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of state financial aid resources.


The report consists of three main components:

  • Enrollment — Student demographic and enrollment data
  • Persistence — Student retention and continuation rates
  • Graduation — Student completion and graduation outcomes


Each part is represented by a separate report in the GEGI Reporting System (Dashboards → Reporting System). See the Reporting System Guide for details.
