STATE AUTHORIZATION INFORMATION

The State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) is a voluntary agreement among its member states and U.S. territories that establishes comparable national standards for interstate offering of postsecondary distance-education courses and programs. It is intended to make it easier for students to take online courses offered by postsecondary institutions based in another state. As a member institution, Knox Theological Seminary may offer distance education to all 49-member states and territories. For non-participating states (e.g. California), Knox has established an independent authorization to provide distance education.

SARA GRIEVANCE PROCESS

Out-of-State Distance Education students who have completed the internal institutional grievance process as outlined in the Academic Catalog may appeal non‐instructional complaints to the FL‐SARA PRDEC Council.
