Grant C Awards, and the Cal Grant T Awards under the administration
of the Student Aid Commission, and establishes eligibility
requirements for awards under these programs for participating
students attending qualifying institutions.
   Existing law requires Cal Grant participating institutions,
beginning in 2012, to annually report to the California Student Aid
Commission  enrollment, persistence, and graduation data for all
students and  job placement rate and salary and wage information
for each program that is either designed or advertised to lead to a
particular type of job or advertised or promoted with any claim

undergraduate programs, and that it would be required beginning on
December 1, 2013. The bill would allow the commission to use data
already available from federal agencies and other state agencies in
lieu of requiring institutions to report, if the commission
determines that the data are sufficient for meeting specified
requirements   require the commission to annually report
to specified committees of the Legislature the data, as specified,
reported annually to the commission by Cal Grant participating
