State Authorizations and Licensure Disclosures
States have varying rules, requirements, and regulations that govern online (distance) education offered by out-of-state postsecondary institutions. These rules require higher education institutions that offer distance education to state residents to obtain exemption, approval, authorization, or other certification from the relevant state agencies. In addition, requirements for professional licensure in disciplines such as accounting, counseling, and education vary among states.
City University of Seattle has been approved to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (SARA). A full list of SARA states and additional information about the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements can be found on the NC-SARA website at https://nc-sara.org.
