State Authorization
The University of Colorado's four campuses are committed to providing high-quality online education that upholds academic excellence, student support, and accessibility. Ensuring that our online courses and programs meet rigorous educational standards is a fundamental part of this commitment.
A key aspect of maintaining this quality is compliance with state authorization regulations. These regulations help safeguard students by ensuring that the online courses and programs offered by our campuses align with the requirements dictated in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) as well as other state-specific education regulations. By participating in SARA and adhering to these guidelines and associated federal regulations, we demonstrate our dedication to transparency, integrity, and the continuous improvement of our online offerings.
Through compliance with state authorization policies, we not only expand access to our courses and programs but also reinforce our promise to deliver a robust, student-centered online learning experience. We remain committed to upholding these standards to support our students' educational success, no matter where they are located.
