STA-Q5: A State’s community colleges are authorized by State law, but not by name. Would the State’s Department of Education need to provide some documentation of their individual authority -- by name -- to grant postsecondary credentials in the State?
STA-Q17: Is an institution required to provide consumer information to all students, including students enrolled in distance education?
STA-A17: Yes, an institution must make sure that all of its students are provided with the applicable information that corresponds to their enrollment. The information must be for every State in which the institution is operating, including every State where students are enrolled for distance education. [Guidance issued 7/27/2012]
STA-Q18: If an institution offering distance education in a State has only one student in that State, must it still provide the contact information for that State?
STA-A18: Yes. [Guidance issued 7/27/2012]
STA-A19: Institutions determine that students are still enrolled as a part of the normal disbursement process each payment period. To the extent an institution is aware a student taking distance education has moved to another State, it must make sure the student has access to the State contact information for filing complaints in that State. [Guidance issued 7/27/2012]
STA-Q20: If a student taking distance education is in the military and is given an assignment outside the United States, is the contact information for the institution’s main location sufficient?
