Untangling Two State Authorization Rules: “On-Ground” and “Distance Education” - WCET Frontiers

In talking with institutional personnel, Russ Poulin of WCET noted some confusion about different aspects of the state authorization regulations. He writes that there are still many who believe that the federal deadline to be in compliance for those offering distance education in each state is July 1 of this year. That is not so. There is currently no federal deadline deadline for distance education, but there is another deadline that is explained below. Meanwhile, states expect institutions to be in compliance prior to performing any activities (such as advertising, enrolling students) in a state. Each state’s regulations are still in force.
