In compliance with the U.S. Department of Education for participation in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA), Morgan Community College (MCC) provides information pertaining to professional licensure and certification in correlation with programs offered at MCC that may lead to state licensure.

Students at MCC are advised to review the following information BEFORE beginning a program that leads to professional licensure with the intent to be licensed outside of the state of Colorado:

• Review the licensing information provided for the applicable program(s) below.
• Contact the appropriate licensing agency in the U.S. states and territories where licensure is intended. This will enable you to obtain the most up-to-date information about licensure requirements and confirm how an MCC program facilitates those requirements.

Only a select few of MCC’s programs are formally approved for professional licensure. However, while a program may not be formally approved in states outside of Colorado, it may still meet all or a portion of the “educational” requirements for licensure in other states and territories. Therefore, it may be necessary for you to contact the licensing agency directly to find out if an MCC program will meet educational requirements in states other than Colorado.

Additionally, while progressing through any of these programs, MCC recommends that you check licensing agency requirements regularly to monitor whether they have changed in a manner that impacts your licensure plans.

To learn more, please review the licensure information provided for the program of interest:

Morgan Community College works cooperatively with higher education authorities in all states and other U.S. jurisdictions to ensure compliance with state authorization requirements that govern the offering of courses in those states, including complaint processes. Morgan Community College is a participating SARA institution; for more information on the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA), please visit their website https://nc-sara.org/guide/state-authorization-guide/. 

Currently Morgan Community College has approval to offer courses in the following states:

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming

California is not a member of NC-SARA. The California Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education (CBPPE) regulates distance education offerings of private institutions to residents of California.  Since MCC is a public institution, MCC is exempt from approval by the CBPPE. Students residing in California who are pursuing degrees/certificates at MCC that will lead to a professional licensure are strongly encouraged to consult with the appropriate licensing agency in California to verify that the degree / certificate offered by MCC will meet any California licensing requirements, prior to starting the degree/certificate.

If you are not an on-campus student at Morgan Community College and plan to enroll in distance classes, please check the information provided above to verify that your state has either authorized or exempted our college to offer such classes or programs to you as a resident of that state.

If you reside in an “unauthorized” state and plan to take distance education classes, please note that we are not authorized or exempted to offer distance education classes or programs to you as a resident of an “unauthorized” state.

Student Complaint and Grievance Process:

If you are a Colorado resident attending a distance education program at a SARA (State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement) institution in another state, you will need to begin the grievance process at the institution you attend. In the event that institutional processes do not result in a successful resolution of your complaint, the SARA Portal Agency of that state is responsible for final resolution.

If you have a complaint or grievance related to Morgan Community College, follow the steps outlined in MCC’s Student Rights and Responsibilities.

To file a complaint against a Colorado institution of higher education, please visit: Filing a Student Complaint | Colorado Department of Higher Education Home.

For student complaint information by state and agency, visit the State Portal Entity Contacts page.

The United States Department of Education recently passed new regulations requiring all institutions that receive Title IV federal financial aid to provide contact information in each state and U.S. territory where students may file a complaint.

Morgan Community College students who have a complaint should try to resolve the issues through contact with appropriate area: Student Services, Academic Services or Administrative Services; or through the MCC Student Complaint process.

Should a complaint not be resolved through the means mentioned above, below is a link to Morgan Community College’s regional accreditor. A complaint should be filed in the student’s state of residence. If you are residing outside of Colorado while attending Morgan Community College, in many cases you can file a complaint in the state where you are residing. The SAN website can provide you with state agencies that manage the student complaint process. Please note, Morgan Community College does not maintain the state and territory websites, and information may change without Morgan Community College’s knowledge.
