State Authorization
Edison State Community College has been approved by the State of Ohio 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 education.
The State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) establishes a state-level reciprocity process that will support the nation in its efforts to increase the educational attainment of its people by making state authorization:
- more efficient, effective, and uniform in regard to necessary and reasonable standards of practice that could span states;
- more effective in dealing with quality and integrity issues that have arisen in some online/ distance education offerings; and
- less costly for states and institutions and, thereby, the students they serve.
Some of Edison State's degree and certificate programs may lead to professional licensure and/or certification upon successful completion of the program requirements. Licensure or certification may be global, national or state-specific. Ohio licensing requirements may not apply in other states. SARA does not provide reciprocity for state professional licensing requirements. Out-of-state students interested in a professional licensure program at Edison State should first contact their program's home state licensing agency or the professional association (see Licensure Programs information). Edison State Program Contacts will work one-on-one with students, upon student request, to determine if the program meets the educational requirements in other states or US territories. Academic programs and individual graduates must meet standards set by that state's licensure requirements for a graduate to be eligible for a license. More information about Edison State Professional Licensure Programs can be found here.
Distance learning students from out of state should attempt to resolve any issues or complaints with Edison State Community College first. Procedures for filing a complaint can be found here. However, if an issue cannot be resolved internally, you may file a complaint about Edison State Community College with your state by referring to the list of State Agencies in compliance with federal Department of Education regulations. You may also contact our accrediting agency, the
Higher Learning Commission.
Additional NC-SARA Complaint information can be found here. NC-SARA Physical Presence information can be found by clicking here.
NOTE California is the only state that has not joined SARA.
