State authorization:
Regulations vary state-by-state concerning distance education that occurs outside the state of Arizona. We recommend that students review the state authorization webpage for program exceptions in the state where they are located. Relocating to a different state after admission into a degree program may impact whether a student can remain in the degree program, meet a state’s licensure requirements and/or continue to receive financial aid funding. It’s the student’s responsibility to notify the institution of a change in physical location.
