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.
It entered the mix to be a solution to a very complex situation. All U.S. states (except California), plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are members of NC-SARA. The four University of Missouri System institutions have been approved to participate in SARA.
