What is NC-SARA?
The National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA) was established in 2013 to help streamline and improve regulation of distance education.

All U.S. states (except California), plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are members of the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA). The four University of Missouri System institutions have been approved to participate in SARA.
