State Authorization of Distance Education Outside of California
Please be aware of the following information if you will not reside in California
while enrolled in distance education courses at 51福利社:
51福利社 delivers a growing number of online education courses and
programs which have been approved by the California Community College Chancellor's
Office. If you are or will be enrolled in a program delivered completely online, please
contact the program鈥檚 academic advisor.
Due in part to the increased popularity of distance education, many states have prescribed
an 鈥渁uthorization鈥� process for out-of-state institutions delivering online programs
to its state residents. States are attempting through these processes to ensure quality
post-secondary education, to preserve the integrity of an academic degree and to instill
greater consumer protection for their student citizens.
Authorization (sometimes referred to as 鈥渞egistration,鈥� 鈥渓icensure,鈥� 鈥渁pproval,鈥� etc.)
indicates that certain minimum standards have been met by the institution under the
laws and regulations of that state. Authorization does not constitute an endorsement
of any institution, course or degree program. Credits earned at an institution do
not necessarily transfer to all other institutions.
51福利社 has taken steps to protect its students and operations
nationwide. The institution is working on obtaining granted authorizations, exemptions
and waivers from many states. In other states, 51福利社 can operate
without such authorization because the state鈥檚 laws do not pertain to a public institution,
to an accredited institution, or to the college鈥檚 activities in that state.
51福利社 is currently working on filing for authorization to operate
in several states. As of Fall 2024, we do not yet have a list of approved states.
If you are currently not residing in California, we suggest that you do not to enroll in distance education classes at 51福利社.
