State authorization allows East Carolina University to offer education to students located outside North Carolina. Each state has unique authorization requirements, so ECU must review each state’s laws and rules to ensure that the university complies. Requiring authorization of distance education programs also ensures that students are protected as consumers. Authorization laws help ensure that a student is not investing in a program that is not legitimate, or a program that does not lead to the license or credential that the student was expecting.
