State Authorization
State authorization is a formal determination by a state that ¹ú²ú¾çÂ鶹¾ç (¹ú²ú¾çÂ鶹¾ç) is approved to conduct activities regulated by that state. In certain states outside California, ¹ú²ú¾çÂ鶹¾ç is not authorized to enroll students in online (distance education) courses and/or offer internships within that state. Student location is based on where a student is physically located while taking courses. Students taking face-to-face courses are located in California, regardless of their home state at the time of application.
If a student moves to another state after admission to a program and/or enrollment in an online course, continuation within the program and/or course will depend on whether ¹ú²ú¾çÂ鶹¾ç is authorized to offer distance education courses in that state. If a student wishes to conduct an internship outside California, they must select a state where it is permitted. It is the student's responsibility to notify ¹ú²ú¾çÂ鶹¾ç of any change in their physical location, other than incidental travel. Refer to the State Authorization map to view which states allow online (distance education) and/or internships outside California.

Federal regulations prevent ¹ú²ú¾çÂ鶹¾ç from enrolling an online student into an academic program leading to professional licensure or certification unless ¹ú²ú¾çÂ鶹¾ç’s program meets the educational requirements for licensure in the state where the student is physically located. Students taking courses on campus are located in California where ¹ú²ú¾çÂ鶹¾ç programs meet educational requirements for licensure.
