State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA)
The State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) is a national initiative to provide more access to online courses while maintaining compliance standards with state regulatory agencies. SARA allows institutions to provide online courses outside of their own state borders by seeking and maintaining state approvals via a streamlined process. NC-SARA is a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of post secondary distance education. To learn more about SARA, please visit
Florida joined SARA through the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) compact. The 最新天美传媒 is an approved member of NC-SARA which is recognized by 49 states and the District of Columbia.
Students Located Outside the United States
Given the nature of our online programs, it's possible some students are located internationally
as they participate as USF students. The reciprocity agreements made possible by our
participation in SARA do not extend to countries outside the United States. The applicability
of USF online programs to citizens of other countries, therefore, will be different
in every case, and students are urged to ascertain for themselves if the USF online
program they are taking will meet the educational requirements to sit for licensure
in the international destination they are interested in.
All U.S. citizens (including military and government officials) located outside the
United States who plan to return to the United States for licensure examinations should
consult the licensure information for the state in which they intend to practice.
Student Complaints
Any student located in a State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) state and has a complaint, pursuant to Section 4.4 of the SARA Manual, must complete the internal institutional and applicable state grievance procedures prior to appealing the complaint to the Council. Students who are enrolled in a USF course who have a complaint about a course or experience should follow the University's Student Grievance Process and .
If a student is not satisfied with the outcome of the institutional process and applicable state grievance procedures, the complaint may then be brought to the SARA portal agency in the institution's home state. SARA Portal Complaint page: .
Professional Licensure
Important Note for Students: If you are considering an online academic program that leads to a professional license, it is highly recommended you contact the appropriate licensing agency where you plan to reside before beginning your academic program. SARA does not provide reciprocity for state professional licensing requirements. Academic programs and individual graduates must meet standards set by that state's licensure requirements in order for a graduate to be eligible for a license. At this time, USF cannot confirm whether a particular program meets requirements for professional licensure or certification outside the state of Florida.
From the list of states below, please select the state where you will reside while you complete an online program at USF. Here you will find information regarding State Licensing Boards.
