National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA)

Johnson University is an institutional participant in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA). NC-SARA is a voluntary agreement among its member states and U.S. territories that establishes comparable national standards for interstate offering of postsecondary distance-education courses and programs. It is intended to make it easier for students to take online courses offered by postsecondary institutions based in another state. NC-SARA enables the University to accept any student into a distance education program who resides in a participating state without investing the expense and labor of obtaining authorization from that state. Currently, the following states belong to NC-SARA, and Johnson University is able to accept students from those states into its online programs.
