The State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) is a national initiative that helps expand students' access to educational opportunities while maintaining compliance with state regulations. Institutions participating in SARA may offer educational opportunities in SARA member states without seeking individual approval in each state. To learn more about SARA, visit https://nc-sara.org/.
The State of Arizona was approved as a SARA member state on November 11, 2014. Arizona State University is approved as a SARA participating institution by the Arizona SARA Council and the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA).
Relocating to a different state after admission into a degree program may impact whether a student can remain in the degree program, meet the state licensure requirements and/or continue to receive financial aid funding. Prior to considering relocating, it is recommended that students contact their program advisor to discuss authorization and licensure eligibility requirements. It is the students responsibility to notify the institution of a change in physical location.
