State Authorization
As a regionally accredited public college that participates in federal financial aid
programs, 澳门特码开奖记录 works to ensure that it provides students with accurate
and complete regulatory information. This includes documenting compliance with the
state laws in any states where educational programming is offered as required by the
U.S. Department of Education's program Integrity Rules. Not all states require state
specific authorizations and the activities that require authorization vary from state
to state. Please direct any questions related to state authorizations to the Coordinator
of State Authorizations, Tamara Broadnax.

Student Complaints
Students who enroll in a 澳门特码开奖记录 course who have a complaint about a course or experience should follow 澳门特码开奖记录鈥檚 complaint policy. If a student located in a State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements () state has a complaint about 澳门特码开奖记录, complaints must first go through the complaint policy referenced above. If a student is not satisfied with the outcome of that process, a complaint involving allegations of fraudulent activity, including the provision of false or misleading information, may be brought to the . The SARA portal entity in the state where the student is located will be notified that the complaint was received and may assist as needed. Resolution of the complaint by the SARA portal entity in the institution's home state is final.
Examples of types of student complaints that may be brought to a SARA portal entity
include, but are not limited to, complaints regarding accuracy of job placement data,
tuition or fee information, accreditation, whether a program meets licensure requirements
or course transfer information. Grade appeals and student conduct appeals are not
allowed under SARA.
International Enrollments
澳门特码开奖记录 provides global access to its online degree programs. While we carefully track issues related to international authorization and licensure, it is a student鈥檚 responsibility to understand requirements related to whether an online degree will be recognized in a country other than the United States or how the collection of student data may be used in another country. Some countries may not formally recognize foreign online degrees, which may have implications for students who later seek to enroll in other educational programs or for those who seek employment with that country鈥檚 government or other employers requiring specific credentials.
International students considering an academic program that leads to a professional
license should first confirm with the appropriate professional licensing board in
their country of residence or the country where they intend to work as to whether
a 澳门特码开奖记录 online degree will be recognized when seeking licensure or certification.

澳门特码开奖记录 is a participating member in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement
(SARA). SARA is an agreement among member states, districts and territories that establishes
comparable national standards for interstate offering of postsecondary distance education
courses and programs. SARA is overseen by the National Council for State Authorization
Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA) and administered by four regional education compacts.
For the State of Alabama, this is the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB).
Once a state has joined SARA, and then subsequently approves a school or college as a participating institution, a university may offer distance education to students residing in SARA participating states. Approved institutions will have no restrictions on advertising, marketing, program offerings and minimal restrictions on clinical practice and internships (no greater than 10 students at one location).
The following states are SARA Authorized for 澳门特码开奖记录:
Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota,
Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico,
New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South
Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming
For a list of Alabama approved institutions, see: .
For a list of currently approved institutions and participating states, see: .
Additional measures are required for students that currently reside in a state not participating in SARA. If you are a student who currently resides in a state not listed and would like to take a class at 澳门特码开奖记录, please contact the Coordinator of State Authorizations, Tamara Broadnax.
We are also currently investigating any additional state-by-state considerations for
programs that include licensure, practicums and internships that may affect the ability
to serve students in certain states for particular programs. If you have any questions
about your eligibility for a program that includes licensure, practicum or internship,
please contact the Coordinator of State Authorizations, Tamara Broadnax.
