Topic 1: Important Agency Information to Note

Provide important web links:

  • Home Page web link   no link provided
  • Statutes and Regulations Page web link  no link provided
  • Authorization Information Page web link  no link provided
  • Application Information Page web link  no link provided
  • Renewal Information Page web link  no link provided

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).
