Eastern Kentucky University is a brick and mortar public University located in Richmond, Kentucky and recognized by Kentucky Revised Statute 164.290. Effective January 30, 2017 Eastern Kentucky University is a State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) member. For more information on NC-SARA you may visit nc-sara.org. Under the terms of SARA, EKU is operating in all other member states, also known as host states under the terms of SARA.
SARA has no bearing on state licensure boards
Licensure requirements are regulated by each state’s respective board(s) and must be met in order to obtain a license in that state. EKU reserves the right to offer program(s) that lead to licensure in the states where EKU has made every reasonable effort to determine its program(s) comply with each state’s regulations. Regulations are ever evolving and can change without any notification to the higher education institutions. Students are encouraged to contact their applicable state licensing board(s) to determine whether the program continues to meet requirements for licensure in that state both before enrolling and during the learning experience.
A list of applicable state board contact information can be found at www.nc-sara.org/professional-licensure-directory
The State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA), provides a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of postsecondary distance education. SARA establishes uniform processes and national standards for interstate offering of postsecondary distance learning. When states join SARA, they agree to follow those processes when approving eligible institutions’ participation in distance learning. They also agree to operate under SARA standards when interacting with other member institutions.
SARA’s policies help protect students and provide benefits to both states and institutions carrying out distance education in multiple states. As of April 2020, 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are members of SARA. Over 2,100 colleges and universities participate in SARA.
Eastern Kentucky University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award associate, baccalaureate, masters, educational specialist, and doctorate degrees. Degree-granting institutions also may offer credentials such as certificates and diplomas at approved degree levels. Questions about the accreditation of Eastern Kentucky University may be directed in writing to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, GA 30033-4097, by calling (404) 679-4500, or by using information available on SACSCOC’s website (www.sacscoc.org).
For a list of program specific accreditation and membership please review the University’s online catalog, pages 374-375, https://catalogs.eku.edu/.
Eastern Kentucky University’s regional compact is the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB).

NOTICE FOR PROGRAMS LEADING TO LICENSURE
SARA (State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement) has no bearing on state licensure boards.
Licensure requirements are regulated by each state’s respective board(s) and must be met in order to obtain a license in that state. EKU reserves the right to offer program(s) that lead to licensure in the states where EKU has made every reasonable effort to determine its program(s) comply with each state’s regulations. Regulations are ever evolving and can change without any notification to the higher education institutions. Students are encouraged to contact their applicable state licensing board(s) to determine whether the program continues to meet requirements for licensure in that state both before enrolling and during the learning experience.

Out-of-State Relocation
It is imperative for students enrolled in a program leading to licensure to notify their advisor in advance of any plans to relocate out of state. Advisors will help students determine authorization and licensure eligibility requirements if the student relocates during the course of the program. Licensure regulations vary by state and relocating could affect whether a student will meet eligibility requirements for licensure and/or remain eligible for federal financial aid. Students must check with the state/territory licensing board where they desire licensure before relocating to ensure that they will be eligible for licensure or reciprocity.
Students must report their current residential address on their application for admission.
Students must also report where they will be located while enrolled at EKU to their advisor and/or program coordinator. Any out-of-state relocation that takes place must be reported to your advisor and the Registrar’s Office.
Complaints
a. Complaints against an Institution operating under SARA policies go first through the Institution’s own procedures for resolution of grievances. Allegations of criminal offences or alleged violations of a State’s general-purpose laws may be made directly to the relevant State agencies.
b. Complaints regarding student grades or student conduct violations are governed entirely by institutional policy and the laws of the SARA Institution’s Home State.
c. If a person bringing a Complaint is not satisfied with the outcome of the institutional process for handling Complaints, the Complaint (except for Complaints about grades or student conduct violations) may be appealed, within two years of the incident about which the Complaint is made, to the SARA Portal Entity in the Home State of the Institution against which the Complaint has been lodged. That Portal Entity shall notify the SARA Portal Entity for the State in which the student is located of receipt of that appealed Complaint. The resolution of the Complaint by the Institution’s Home State SARA Portal Entity, through its SARA complaint resolution process, will be final, except for Complaints that fall under the provision “g” below.
d. While the final resolution of the Complaint rests with the SARA Portal Entity in the Home State of the Institution against which the Complaint has been lodged, the Portal Entity in the complainant’s location State may assist as needed. The final disposition of a Complaint resolved by the Home State shall be communicated to the Portal Entity in the State where the student lived at the time of the incident leading to the Complaint, if known.
e. While final resolution of Complaints (for purposes of adjudication of the Complaint and enforcement of any resultant remedies or redress) resides in certain cases with institutions (Complaints about grades or student conduct violations), or more generally with the relevant Institution’s Home State SARA Portal Entity (all other Complaints), the Regional Compact(s) administering SARA may consider a disputed Complaint as a “case file” if concerns are raised against a SARA member State with regard to whether that State is abiding by SARA policies, as promulgated in the SARA Manual. The Regional Compact may review such institutional concerns in determining whether a State under its SARA purview is abiding by SARA policies. Similarly, a Complaint “case file” may also be reviewed by NC-SARA in considering whether a Regional Compact is ensuring that its SARA member States are abiding by the SARA policies required for their membership in SARA.
f. SARA State Portal Entities shall report quarterly to NC-SARA the number and disposition of appealed Complaints that are not resolved at the institutional level. NC-SARA shall make that information publicly available on its website. Such data will create transparency and can be used in determining whether a Regional Compact is ensuring that its SARA member States and those States’ Institutions are abiding by the policies required for State membership and institutional participation in SARA.
g. Nothing in the SARA Manual precludes a State from using its laws of general application to pursue action against an Institution that violates those laws. SARA Manual • Version 20.1. January 1, 2020 Distributed February 6, 2020
Investigation of a SARA-related Complaint against an Institution requires that a state board, agency or entity outside the institution’s immediate management be available to handle Complaints that are not resolved within the institution. A system board responsible for more than one separately Accredited institution may serve this role under SARA provisions. A board responsible for only one Accredited institution, or which lacks enforcement authority over an Institution, cannot serve as the SARA external oversight agency for such an institution. In such circumstances, the institution’s home-state SARA Portal Entity may serve that function.
Please be advised that there may be other factors that could prohibit your success in a program, such as a criminal record. If you are a convicted felon under federal law U.S.C. Title 18 you are not allowed to lawfully own a firearm which would inhibit your ability to find gainful employment in many of the Criminal Justice majors.
Having a criminal record could also affect your ability to successfully obtain professional licensure in many states and your ability to secure field placements, internships, externships and/or practicums.
Many collaborating organizations require students to submit to a drug screen, criminal background check, sex offender registry search, OIG (Office of Inspector General) search, federal finger printing and/or to submit copies of all your immunization records, including OSHA training certificates, HIPPA training certificates and CPR certification. These tests are at the expense of the student. Collaborating organizations reserve the right to deny student field placements, internships, externships and/or practicums for many reasons including but not limited to if a student has a criminal record or fails the drug screen standards as established by the collaborating organization.
TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS: Applicants for an Alabama certificate based on reciprocity must meet Alabama’s test requirements and submit a valid, renewable professional educator certificate/license issued by another state at the degree level, grade level, and in the teaching field or area of instructional support for which an Alabama certificate is sought and for which an Alabama certificate is sought and for which Alabama issues a certificate. Applicants for Alabama certification in an area of administration must also document at least three years of full-time employment as an administrator in a P – 12 school system(s). See www.alsde.edu
NURSING: State approval of a program to offer Alabama licensed nurses opportunities for advanced degrees does not indicate eligibility for approval to practice as an advanced practice nurse in Alabama. Applicants for approval in Alabama are required to meet the Alabama requirements for national certification, graduation from a specific-type program for the advanced practice approval, and completion of the appropriate application. Any program offering a pre-licensure track to Alabama students shall meet the requirements of the Alabama regulations for pre-licensure programs or the graduates may not be eligible to take the licensure examination required by the Alabama Board of Nursing to enter the practice. See www.abn.alabama.gov

Are you planning on pursuing professional licensure in your field? If yes, we strongly encourage you to follow the steps below before enrolling in an online program at Eastern Kentucky University:
Please note that licensure requirements are always subject to change. While a program may originally meet the educational requirements for licensure, changes in requirements could impact the program’s ability to meet any new educational requirements. Although Eastern Kentucky University will confirm the licensure requirements on a routine basis, we strongly recommend that you inquire with the state/territory board to confirm that you understand and will meet the requirements for licensure before enrolling in your program of choice.
Please note that licensing requirements vary by state and relocating could impact whether you will meet eligibility requirements for licensure and/or remain eligible for federal financial aid. Please check with the state/territory licensing board where you desire licensure before relocating to ensure that you will be eligible for licensure or reciprocity. Also, notify your program to check for authorization and licensure eligibility requirements if you relocate during the course of a program.
Eastern Kentucky University works to provide global access to its online degree programs. While we track issues related to international authorization and licensure, it is the student’s responsibility to understand current circumstances or special requirements surrounding online degrees in countries outside the United States. EKU Online reviews this information on a case-by-case basis; however, many times the University cannot determine whether online delivery is permitted or whether a program meets international authorization or licensure requirements.
Each international location has its own laws regarding online education and professional licensure. Some locations have certain requirements that must be met before certain programs may be recognized. Requirements may vary by licensure area or program.
Please note the following risks and considerations before enrolling in an EKU Online program from a country outside the United States:
Therefore, if you decide to enroll in any of EKU’s online programs from a country other than the United States, or if you move to another country during the course of your studies, please be aware that you are taking a risk that you may not be able to complete that program or use any of the credit earned in that program should you decide to pursue employment or licensing in that field in that country. Please note that the risks listed above are not exhaustive.
Students considering a program leading to professional licensure should contact the licensing board in their country of residence or country in which they intend to work to determine whether the program is recognized for licensure or certification. Please verify with your country’s professional licensing board that your plans are not impacted by these risks.
*Note: Exceptions may apply for students affiliated with the U.S. military and stationed in an international location (e.g., military members, military dependents and spouses, etc.).
The EKU BBA in Public Accounting is accredited by AACSB and endorsed by the IMA and graduates meet the Bachelor’s degree requirement for CPA licensure. However, most U.S. states and territories require a Bachelor’s Degree and a total of 150 credit hours of education for full licensure. The BBA consists of 120 credit hours toward the 150 hour requirements for full licensure as a Certified Public Accountant in any state or U.S. Territory. Therefore, EKU is unable to determine if this degree meets the requirements for professional licensure in your state or territory.
Students may be permitted to sit for the CPA exam, while working toward the additional 30 hour requirement, in the following states:
Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, U.S. Virgin Islands, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
Students in states and territories not listed above must complete the 150 credit hours prior to applying to the uniform CPA exam. Additionally, each state may have requirements related to work experience, residency, ethics training, age, etc. for licensure/certification that can be found on the NASBA website. The additional 30 credit hours are often completed through minors, certificate programs, graduate coursework (e.g. MBA), etc.
The EKU BBA in Risk Management & Insurance is accredited by AACSB.

*The MS-ABA program meets educational requirements as a Verified Course Sequence (VCS) for entry into the Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) exam. Students must complete additional BCBA requirements, such as 1500-2000 hours of supervised field work. Applicants must meet all exam requirements that are in effect at the time of application. This state does not currently independently license Applied Behavior Analysts or has legislation progressing that could alter this determination. Check your state or potential employer for alternative practice options or pathways outside of ABA specific licensure, as some may still require BCBA certification for employment or prohibit the practice of ABA.

Students enrolled in EKU online programs should attempt to resolve complaints by using the policies and procedures of the university (see the Student Handbook). However, if the issue cannot be resolved internally, students can file a complaint about the institution by referring to the following list of State Agencies in compliance with U.S. Department of Education regulations.
No refund can be made on certain class fees and optional fees as established by the Eastern Kentucky University Board of Regents. Students wishing to withdraw from courses must do so online via EKUDirect (on the EKU home page at www.eku.edu).
When a student officially withdraws from the University or from any course or courses for which hourly rates apply, tuition and fees will be adjusted in the following manner:
Time Period* During add/drop period for any class (for full semester classes = 1st week) |
Refund 100% |
From end of 1st week through end of 2nd week of class |
75% |
From end of 2nd week through end of 3rd week of class |
50% |
From end of 3rd week through end of 4th week of class |
25% |
After the 4th week of class |
0% |
*Partial semester courses vary in length and the percentage of refunds and the effective dates will be modified accordingly.
This policy applies to refundable fees only; non-refundable fees are not included. In no case shall a refund of rent be made to a person who remains a student but moves from University housing at his or convenience.
