State Authorization at the University of Utah works with programs and departments to ensure compliance with state and federal law when they offer any out-of-state activity (including online courses, field experiences, and recruiting or marketing).
Learning Placements
Out-of-State Learning Placements (abbreviated as OOSLPs) are learning placements offered for credit that take place outside the state of Utah.
Licensure Disclosures
The Department of Education released new Federal Regulations requiring the U to provide disclosures to students about professional licensure/certification.
The University of Utah has been a member of the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) since November 2016. SARA reduces the number of other-state regulations to continually monitor and the number of applications and surety bonds the U has to complete, resulting in more efficiency in the authorization process and enabling the U to continue to offer and expand educational activities to students — both in and out of the state of Utah!
