What types of institutions are subject to this agency’s authority? Indicate the types of institutions that your agency authorizes.

• Note: Some agencies may refer to out-of-state public institutions as “private colleges” in their law.  If this is the case for your agency, please select “public, out-of-state degree granting institutions” for purposes of this Guide so that the out-of-state public institution will find appropriate information.
• Note: If your agency is a coordinating board, your agency may have one division with some authority such as program approval over in-state public institutions that are established per statute, which is structured differently than another division of your agency with state authorization authority over non-public institutions that they “license” pursuant to different statute(s).

Clarifying comments:

Unless exempted by statute or this rule, a postsecondary educational institution which maintains a presence within the state of Idaho, or that operates or purports to operate from a location within the state of Idaho, shall register and hold a valid certificate of registration issued by the Board. An institution shall not conduct, provide, offer, or sell a course or courses of study, or degree unless registered.

Courses or courses of study must follow applicable trade or occupational board training curriculum standards, and may require additional programmatic accreditation.

Does your agency require exclusively online offerings offered by out-of-state institutions to be authorized?

No; however, institution activity/clinicals within the state, can trigger physical presence and require registration.
