States require that institutions be authorized to deliver university-level distance and online education to their residents.
The University of Georgia has been approved to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA).
NC-SARA is a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of postsecondary distance education, aimed at making the effort to obtain state authorizations more efficient for institutions and increasing student access to distance education courses and programs. Institutions participating in NC-SARA are able to offer educational opportunities in all 49 NC-SARA member states, as well as the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
The University of Georgia does not offer distance and online education to residents in American Samoa, Guam, nor the Northern Mariana Islands.
The California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education does not regulate out-of-state public institutions. Therefore, no action is required, and the University of Georgia is in compliance with California regulations.
