State Authorization of Distance Education Outside of California

The US Department of Education requires that any institution offering distance education programs to students who reside or are located outside of its home state must acquire authorization from the states in which students reside or are located. Regulations vary from state to state, as such, federal, state, and institutional policies may limit or prohibit CBD College’s authorization for delivery of online education to students in certain states.

While the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity (NC-SARA), established a voluntary state-level reciprocity process for interstate offering of postsecondary distance education programs, the state of California does not participate in the agreement and California-based institutions such as CBD College are not eligible to take advantage of the reciprocity agreement if they offer distance education in other states. Therefore, CBD College must seek and document a status with the states in which the institution enrolls distance education students.

CBD College does not enroll students from states where the institution is not licensed or authorized, exempt, operating under a waiver, or otherwise able to enroll students because the state’s laws do not pertain to the institution or to the College’s activities in that state.

Consumer Complaints

If you are a distance education student who wishes to file a complaint about CBD College, please review the institution’s Grievance Procedures to submit your complaint. If you are unable to resolve your complaint through the steps outlined in the institutional Grievance Procedures, a formal written complaint may also be filed with any of the regulatory bodies listed in the Grievance Procedures (institutional and programmatic accrediting agencies, the school’s state licensing agency and the Department of Education) or with the respective agency regulating postsecondary institutions in the state where you are located and/or reside.

CBD College is also required to provide a description of the process for submitting consumer complaints in each state from which the institution enrolls students. The complaint process for those states in which CBD College is authorized, exempt or otherwise approved to offer distance education programs and enrolls students is detailed in the section below.

Impact of Change in Location and/or Residence

Students must contact the school to discuss any change in their location prior to relocation. Should a student relocate to a state in which CBD College is not authorized to provide distance education, continued enrollment cannot be guaranteed. This may also impact a student’s Title IV financial aid eligibility, loan repayment or deferment and/or veteran’s benefits. Students should consult with the Financial Aid Office to determine the impact of a change in location and/or residence. (See also Student Location Policy in Distance Education section).

CBD College is physically located in the state of California, where it is also authorized to deliver distance education. In other states, CBD College is able to offer distance education because it has been granted authorizations/approvals, exemptions, and waivers, or because the state’s laws do not pertain to the institution or to the College’s activities in that state. The complete listing of states where CBD College offers distance education is articulated in the school’s catalog and website. Hereby you are informed that if you relocate to a state in which the institution does not have an authorization/approval to operate prior to program completion, that this may adversely impact your ability to complete the program or gain in-field employment.

Authorization Information

The list below summarizes CBD College’s status in those states in which the institution currently offers distance education programs to that state’s residents and the complaint process for those states.

Each state below lists the distance education program offered:

• Bachelor of Science in Health Science (BSHS), or
• Associate of Science in Health Information Technology (HIT AS).

Alaska (BSHS, HIT AS)

CBD College has been determined by the Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education to meet the criteria for exemption from the authorization provisions because the programs are online or distance delivered and CBD College does not have a physical presence in the state.

Arizona (BSHS, HIT AS)

The Arizona State Board for Private Postsecondary Education does not require licensure of distance education programs if there will be no physical presence in Arizona. The Board defines physical presence as the use of any Arizona address, Arizona phone numbers, contact information of anyone listing an Arizona address or program offerings in Arizona. CBD College does not have a physical presence in Arizona and is therefore not required to be licensed. In accordance with state law, the Arizona State Board for Private Postsecondary Education is responsible for investigating student complaints against educational institutions licensed by the agency. Because CBD College is not currently required to be licensed by the board please direct any complaints to the Arizona Office of the Attorney General. Students can also file a complaint with the applicable state regulator of postsecondary education where the institution is located (BPPE) as well as the institution’s accrediting body.
