University of Delaware Disclosure of Compliance

The University of Delaware is required to comply with state and federal laws regarding the delivery of distance education. The University of Delaware has been approved to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements. Effective Feb. 21, 2017, the University of Delaware has been approved as a State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) member institution and can offer distance education courses and programs to residents of other SARA member states without pursuing state-by-state compliance.

• EXCEPTION—California

  • Students who reside in, or whose clinical or field experience will take place in, one of these SARA-nonmember states should contact the UD distance learning compliance office for details.

• EXCEPTION—Pursuing professional licensure outside Delaware

  • Prospective and current students interested in UD courses, programs, certificates, or degrees that lead to professional licensure are responsible to verify their State Licensing Board’s requirements prior to enrolling, to determine if their program of interest meets state criteria.

  • Students are advised to contact the State Licensing Board in their current state of residency, and/or, if applicable, their intended state of residency.

Licensure

In accordance with federal requirements and as a State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) participating institution, the University of Delaware provides public and direct professional licensure and certification disclosure statements. For more information, please refer to this list of programs that the University has identified as leading to a license or certification, or advertising as such.

A prospective student applying for an online program at the University of Delaware which leads to a license or certification must check the above list of programs we have identified as leading to, or not leading to, a license or certification, or advertising as such.  If the prospective student wants to apply for a program that does not meet the educational requirements in the state they are located, will not be allowed to enter that program unless they attest that they will work in a state that meets the requirements, or attests they will not seek employment in that field. 

You must complete an attestation to:

1. Identify the state where you plan to work after graduation.

2. Acknowledge that your program may not meet the licensure or certification requirements in your state.

3. Confirm your intention to pursue employment in a state where the program meets the licensure or certification requirements, or state you do not intend to work in the field you have chosen.
