State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA)The State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) is a voluntary, national initiative established to allow member states to offer online courses outside each institution’s state by seeking and maintaining state approvals via a streamlined process. State participation in SARA assists institutions to remain compliant with other member SARA state’s regulatory agencies. Learn more about SARA. On March 2, 2015, the Midwestern Higher Education Compact (MHEC) approved the State of Ohio to join SARA. Rhodes State College was approved as part of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA) on February 23, 2016 *Students are responsible for notifying the institution if their permanent state of residency changes. |
Rhodes State College participates in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements. |
Approved SARA States
Professional Licensure Programs
Out-of-state students interested in a professional licensure program at Rhodes State College should first contact their home state licensing agency or the professional association. Ohio licensing requirements may not apply in other states. SARA does not provide reciprocity for state professional licensing requirements. Academic programs and individual graduates must meet standards set by that state’s licensure requirements in order for a graduate to be eligible for a license.
Programs Leading to Professional Licensure / Certificates
U.S Department of Education regulations and NC-SARA policies require institutions to disclose whether a program leading to a professional license or certification meets educational requirements for licensure or certification in all U.S. states. |
||
Rhodes State College academic programs are designed to prepare students to sit for applicable licensure or certification in Ohio. Rhodes State College makes every effort to ensure information about educational requirements for licensure or certification is current; however, state requirements may change. Separate from educational requirements, state licensure boards may require applicants to complete professional examinations, background checks, years of professional experience, residence requirements, jurisprudence exams, training, etc. If you plan to pursue licensure or certification in a state other than Ohio, it is strongly recommended that you contact the appropriate licensing entity in that state to seek information and guidance regarding licensure or certification requirements before beginning an academic program. |

Rhodes State College academic programs are designed to prepare students to sit for applicable licensure or certification in Ohio. Rhodes State College makes every effort to ensure information about educational requirements for licensure or certification is current; however, state requirements may change. Separate from educational requirements, state licensure boards may require applicants to complete professional examinations, background checks, years of professional experience, residence requirements, jurisprudence exams, training, etc. If you plan to pursue licensure or certification in a state other than Ohio, it is strongly recommended that you contact the appropriate licensing entity in that state to seek information and guidance regarding licensure or certification requirements before beginning an academic program. |

Student Complaints
Student Complaints: Students who are enrolled in a Rhodes State College course who have a complaint about a course or experience should follow the
Rhodes State College Student Complaint/Grievance Policy. If necessary, students may also contact Columbus State's state licensing agency - Ohio Department of Higher Education, 25 South Front Street, Columbus, OH 43215, 614-466-6000, or the college's accreditor - Higher Learning Commission, 30 North LaSalle Street, Suite 2400, Chicago, IL 60602-2504, 800-621-7440.
Students residing outside Ohio who are taking course work at a distance and desire to resolve a grievance, will be directed to the College's Grade Appeal and Student Grievance Policies. If an issue cannot be resolved internally through the Office of Student Affairs, students may file a complaint with their state of residence. State Entity contact information can be found at State Portal Entity Contacts.
