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.

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.

The University of North Georgia offers degree programs that fulfill the educational requirements for students to apply for professional licensure or certification in Georgia. However, these programs may not meet the education requirements in other states.
Educational requirements vary by state or certification board, and there may be additional requirements that must be met. Students are encouraged to reach out to the program coordinator and the relevant licensing entity for further information and guidance.
