State Authorization Regulations for Online Education

State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements Logo

Fayetteville State University has been approved to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (SARA).

This means that Fayetteville State University is authorized to provide educational opportunities in all 50 states and U.S. territories.

State regulations require that public universities seeking to enroll students residing outside North Carolina in distance or online programming must be approved to deliver such programming in accordance with the receiving state's requirements. The purpose of these regulations is to ensure quality post-secondary education, ensure the integrity of academic degrees, and to provide greater consumer protection for its student citizens.

Please note: California is not part of SARA, but FSU is authorized to operate there due to existing exemptions for public insitutions.
