State Authorization
The National Council of State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA) is a national initiative that increases student access to distance education courses and programs while maintaining compliance with state regulations. Forty-nine states (all states except California) and three territories currently participate in NC-SARA. The California Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education does not regulate out-of-state public institutions. Therefore, Bureau approval for º£½ÇÊÓƵ to offer educational activities in California is not required, and we are able to offer online education in California.
º£½ÇÊÓƵ has been approved to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement. With this membership and state authorization, º£½ÇÊÓƵ may offer online programs to students who live outside of South Carolina.
Information about NC-SARA and member states is available at:
Student Complaints
Students enrolled at º£½ÇÊÓƵ who wish to file a complaint should first follow the grievance process in the Student Handbook.
If the complaint is not resolved by º£½ÇÊÓƵ, students residing in an NC-SARA member state may file a complaint with the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education (SCCHE). The SCCHE will only consider complaints that were previously unresolved by the University. .
Professional Licensure Information
NC-SARA membership does not grant reciprocity or exemption from state professional licensing board requirements.
