UNOH Announces NC-SARA Approval

Posted on Monday, November 30, 2015

The University of Northwestern Ohio is proud to announce that as of October 21 2015, UNOH is approved by the Ohio Department of Higher Education to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA).

NC-SARA is a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of postsecondary distance education. Institutions that are members of SARA are authorized to provide online education to students from all 36 SARA member states, with more joining every month. States and institutions that choose to become members of SARA operate under a set of policies and standards that are overseen by the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements and administered by four regional higher education compacts.

The benefits to students residing in SARA states are immediate. All students living in SARA states can now access all online degree programs offered by UNOH.
