State Authorization for Distance Ed Federal Regulation to be Implemented 07/01/2018
The U.S. Department of Education is scheduled to implement state authorization for distance education regulations on July 1, 2018. There is still some uncertainty about whether the Department will implement the regulation and, if they do, what institutions need to do to comply. WCET and its State Authorization Network (SAN), the National Commission for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA), and the Distance Education Accrediting Commission (DEAC) have asked for clarification from the Department more than once and through different channels.
