State Authorizations
The U.S. Department of Education (ED) created a set of approval and reporting requirements for online programs in educational institutions. One of the regulations was 34 C.F.R. 600.9, which is commonly referred to as State Authorization.
ED requires compliance with state regulations of any state in which 168开奖网provides distance education for students. To facilitate this compliance with state regulations 168开奖网has joined the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA).
NC-SARA allows 168开奖网to offer distance education in 49 states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. California (not a SARA state) allows residents to take 168开奖网distance education courses.
