SARA has no effect on state professional licensing requirements. Students that reside outside the state of Kansas who are considering a professional program should contact the appropriate board in their state of residency prior to beginning a course of study.
蹤獲扦 cannot confirm whether the course or program meets requirements for professional licensure in the students state of residence.
Course and program availability varies by state. Admission into a program is granted at the time of initial acceptance into the program and is dependent on program availability in the state where the student is physically located at the time of admission.
If a student moves to a different state after admission to the program, continuation within the program will depend on the availability of the program within the new state where the student is physically present. It is the students responsibility to notify the institution of a change in physical presence.
Whether military personnel stationed outside the state of Kansas may enroll or continue in a 蹤獲扦 distance education program or not is based on where military personnel are stationed.

USCIS regulations allow students residing in the United States with an F-1 visa status to count one distance learning class towards their class requirement minimum. Distance learning courses are courses that do ...not require the students physical attendance for classes, examinations or other purposes integral to completion of the class... Because of these regulations, students residing in the U.S. with an F-1 visa are not eligible for online programs.

International Enrollment Considerations*
Some countries do not currently recognize credentials earned online
Some countries seek to tax students and institutions directly. Students should be aware of potential taxes that may be charged in addition to tuition.
Some countries may be subject to comprehensive or limited sanctions. Depending on the sanction category, providing educational services may be prohibited.
Some individuals and companies owned, controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of certain countries cannot receive services from U.S. entities. Coursework and most university activities are exempt.
Some countries (e.g., China) block or filter internet content. Use of a VPN in China is generally restricted and is not reliable.
Many countries have stronger data privacy laws than the U.S.
Similar to U.S. states, Canadian distance education regulations vary by province and territory.
Note that Canadian professional licensure agencies may have additional requirements for Ohio State to offer a licensure program to students located in Canada. Programs should contact the agency to verify requirements prior to enrolling students.

Statement on 34 CFR 668.43(a)(5)(v). 蹤獲扦 Universitys teacher education programs are accredited at the national, regional, and state level. Upon completion of all courses and program assessments, graduates of these programs will be eligible to apply for the Kansas initial teaching license for their program of study after they successfully complete the required by the State of Kansas for application for a teacher license or endorsement. 蹤獲扦 has made no determination if this program will lead to licensure in any state other than Kansas in which a graduate may seek licensure. Because every state has different requirements that may change frequently, we recommend checking with the state education department for the state in question to determine current requirements. The nonprofit organization Education Commission of the States has compiled that provide additional information about the teacher license reciprocity agreements for each state in a searchable format. provides a list of member states of the NASDTEC Interstate Agreement who have signed reciprocity agreements with Kansas.

CO NC-SARA State Disclosure
While 蹤獲扦 participates in the (NC-SARA), 蹤獲扦 has limited authorization to offer internship, field experience, clinical placement, or practica in the state of Colorado due to the (the Act.) The Act requires students to be covered by workers compensation insurance when completing an unpaid internship, field experience, clinical placement, or practica within the state of Colorado. The Act requires the institution sponsoring the student (蹤獲扦) to either: (1) insure the student through the institutions workers compensation policy; or (2) work with the host site to negotiate a reasonable level of compensation to the host site for the host sites expense of providing workers compensation insurance for the student. 蹤獲扦 is not permitted, under Kansas law, to add students to 蹤獲扦s institutional workers compensation policy. And while some Colorado host sites are willing to work with 蹤獲扦 and/or individual students to ensure coverage through the Colorado host site or through a private carrier, this is not guaranteed. The Act does not allow students to purchase their own insurance for workers compensation.
Students enrolled in either online or on-campus programs cannot be placed in on-ground internships, field experiences, clinical placements, or practica in the State of Colorado without the appropriate workers compensation in place. For questions please contact Dr. Amber Anderson or Dr. Brett Bruner.
