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).
NC-SARA membership allows UNG to offer distance education in 49 states plus the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. California also allows residents to take UNG distance education courses.
Residents outside of the United States must follow the distance education rules and regulations of their country or province.

Out-Of-Sate Learning Placements
DETI must be notified before a student leaves Georgia for clinical ration, students teaching, or internships for credit. Field trips and international placements are not reported. The information is used to stay in compliance with NC-SARA. Email DETI for more information.
DETI uses details from the Internship Learning Agreement form to stay in compliance. Go to Career Services for internship information and the form.
