The U.S. Department of Education requires compliance with state regulations of any state in which UNG provides distance education for students. To facilitate this compliance with state regulations UNG has joined the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA).
This organization allows UNG to offer distance education in 49 states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. California (not a SARA state) allows residents to take UNG distant education courses.
This email, onlineapproval@ung.edu, is exclusively for questions regarding state authorizations.

Students who plan to pursue professional licensure or certification in a state other than Georgia should contact the program coordinator and the appropriate licensing entity for additional information and guidance.
