National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA)

The University of Arkansas Community College at Hope Texarkana is approved to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Agreements (NC-SARA). NC-SARA is a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of postsecondary education.

The State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) establishes a state-level reciprocity process that will support the nation in its efforts to increase the educational attainment of its people by making state authorization:

  • more efficient, effective, and uniform in regard to necessary and reasonable standards of practice that could span states;
  • more effective in dealing with quality and integrity issues that have arisen in some online/ distance education offerings; and
  • less costly for states and institutions and, thereby, the students they serve.

Distance learning students from out of state with complaints should try to resolve them through the UAHT grievance process and then appeal to ADHE if the complaint is not resolved. Here is the ADHE grievance form: https://adhe.edu/students-parents/student-grievance-form Additional NC-SARA Complaint information can be found here. To learn more about NC-SARA, click here.
