State Authorization
Independence Community College has been approved to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements.
In order to comply with the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) requirements, our organization is actively collaborating with the Department of Education and various state agencies.
Changes to the Higher Education Act of 1965 have made it necessary for each institution of higher learning to respond to the following: “If an institution is offering post secondary education through distance or correspondence education to students in a State in which it is not physically located or in which it is otherwise subject to State jurisdiction as determined by the State, the institution must meet any State requirements for it to be legally offering post secondary distance or correspondence education in that State. An institution must be able to document to the Secretary the State's approval upon request. (Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1001 and 1002)”
At Independence Community College, we prioritize the support and well-being of every student during their academic journey with us. We actively promote the use of the Report It link as a resource for students seeking resolution in academic or disciplinary matters. We strive to create an environment where students feel empowered to address any concerns they may have, and our institution is dedicated to providing the necessary support and guidance throughout this process.
