Oakwood University has been approved to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements. NC-SARA is a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of postsecondary distance education. The SARA agreement allows students to take online courses in a variety of states. According to Oakwood University President, Dr. Leslie Pollard, "We cannot overstate the significance of Oakwood's receipt of approval to participate in NC-SARA. Our team of online leaders have been working and praying for this approval. This new footprint expands our ability to deliver our educational products to the broadest possible audiences within the United States."
Students in the following states are now eligible to take online classes at Oakwood University: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming. "NC-SARA allows Oakwood University to make its academic programs more widely available through Oakwood Online University," said Karen Benn-Marshall, Ed.D., vice president for Academic Administration.
All institutions that are a part of the SARA initiative are governed to make sure the courses and programs offered are high-quality opportunities that can help students reach their goals. SARA is overseen by a National Council and administered by four regional education compacts.
