Saint Mary’s College of 加州 国家授权 Policies and Procedures
 

国家授权

The US Department of Education oversees compliance with regulations 政府erning the ability of institutions to offer online distance education programs to students located outside of 加州. Individual states also oversee the programming Saint Mary’s offers, and some states require authorization for having online distance education students in the state. Saint Mary’s is authorized to offer online distance education on a state-by-state basis.
 

Student Declaration of Current Physical Location

To comply with federal Title IV regulations 政府erning distance education, Saint Mary’s is required to verify students’ current physical locations prior to engaging in financial transactions. 也, to comply with state authorization regulations 政府erning distance education, Saint Mary’s is required to verify students’ locations prior to each semester of registration. Students are required to confirm their location before registering for courses throughout the year via GaelXpress 2.0 Self-Service to confirm their official address of record as the location in which they will be engaging in the online distance education coursework in the upcoming term. A student is required to report to the 注册商’s Office any change in their physical location during the semester; the change needs to be reported in advance of moving. If a student moves from their current authorized location to a state where Saint Mary’s is not authorized to provide online distance education, we will be unable to support their continued enrollment. If a student thinks they may relocate or have concerns about this, they should contact their program for an explanation of their options.

If a student’s current location is outside the state of 加州 and the student is enrolled in a Saint Mary’s online distance education program, the student should also check the information below to verify that Saint Mary’s is authorized to offer distance education to students physically located in that state.
