Abstract
The requirement that colleges and universities are required to be authorized in every state that online students reside in has added complexity to the process of offering online programs and courses. This presentation will focus on the latest efforts in Minnesota around state authorization for distance education and the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement. The presenters will share the efforts of both the Minnesota State Colleges & Universities and the University of Minnesota in this area.
