National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA)
Norfolk State University (NSU) is a member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA), which allows online delivery of distance learning programs to residents of states other than Virginia. All NSU licensure programs lead to a recommendation for a Virginia license. Therefore, prospective students should review the specific academic requirements for the program in which they are enrolling.
Pursuant to the United States Department of Education’s Program Integrity Rule, each institution of higher education is required to provide all prospective and current students with the contact information of the state agency or agencies that handle complaints. NSU consistently monitors ongoing developments in the relevant laws in every state. If authorization becomes necessary, NSU will obtain the necessary approvals.
