Regulations Governing Distance/Online Education

State Authorizations

Judson University monitors the requirements and regulations that oversee distance education and the requirements to obtain approval to offer such education for each state. States have varying rules, requirements and regulations that govern online (distance) education offered by out-of-state postsecondary institutions. These rules require higher education institutions that offer distance education to state residents to obtain exemption, approval, authorization or other certification from the relevant state agencies. Judson University researches and monitors state authorization requirements in each state and continues to make good faith efforts to secure the appropriate authorization and/or licensure to offer online programs in each state in which it enrolls students.

The University will continue to make a good faith effort to obtain such approval from each state from which a student enrolls. If a student relocates while enrolled, he or she should check the list of approved states upon relocation.
