Program Availability, State Authorization, Licensure and Compliance Considerations
Important information for online students
UofL Online is committed to delivering high-quality online education that meets applicable federal and state requirements. Because authorization and approval requirements can vary by state, program and location, some online programs or learning experiences may not be available everywhere, including locations outside the United States.
Understanding these requirements before you enroll can help you choose a program that aligns with your educational goals and where you plan to live, learn or pursue your career.
Several layers of oversight work together to support the quality and integrity of higher education. Federal and state governments and accrediting organizations each play a distinct role in areas such as institutional quality, state authorization and consumer protection.
UofL also participates in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA), which provides a framework for offering eligible distance education opportunities across participating states.
As you explore UofL Online, we encourage you to learn how these requirements may apply to your individual circumstances. The resources on these pages provide additional information about state authorization and program availability, professional licensure, complaint procedures and international compliance considerations.
