State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (莎拉)
莎拉 is a voluntary, regional initiative that provides postsecondary institutions a streamlined approach for offering distance education to students outside the institution’s home 状态. Our participation in 莎拉 allows us to offer distance education to students in all 莎拉 member 状态s without obtaining individual approval from each 状态.
Based on our participation in 莎拉 and the status of current 状态 and federal regulations, the University of Northern Colorado can provide postsecondary distance education in all 50 状态s, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We are not currently authorized to offer distance education in American Samoa, Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau. We are continuing to monitor requirements in these territories and freely associated 状态s and are attempting to seek clarifications from government agencies where possible.
Please note that some distance education activities may have additional 状态 requirements that fall outside of 莎拉 participation. This most commonly occurs for learning placement activities in licensed professions, such as internships, healthcare clinicals, and student teaching experiences. We are continuously investigating these requirements and are listing activities that may have additional 状态 requirements below.
