State Authorization
What is “State Authorization”?
Distance education for out-of-state students
Western Oregon University’s online programs provide a path for students to expand their horizons, with the flexibility to fit their lives. State Authorization allows us to offer these opportunities to students residing outside Oregon.
Out-of-state internships
Many students at Western Oregon University earn credit by completing an internship. Through State Authorization, our students are able to accept internships that take place outside of Oregon.
Student Complaint Resolution
State Authorization supplements and supports the student grievance process at Western Oregon University.
Professional Licensing Disclosures
Program-specific information about state professional licensing requirements, as required by 34 CFR §668.43 and participation in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA).
