Herzing University is authorized to offer undergraduate educational programs in the various states in which it operates by the following state boards, commissions, and departments, or otherwise pursuant to applicable state law. Not all programs are available in all states. Students should not confuse permission for Herzing University to operate in a state or educate students from a particular state online with special or programmatic approvals that may be required or preferred to work in a given field in some states. Students should independently investigate and ensure that the program they desire is offered on the campus they intend to enroll in via the desired format and with the potential outcome they desire. Students should rely only on the written information provided in the academic catalog and not on oral or unofficial representations or other documents. The fact that a program is currently offered on a campus does not ensure, nor does Herzing University guarantee, that all courses will always be available on that campus in the specific format the student selected; however, a student will always be provided with a path to completion, despite the potential change in format of course offerings.
Each state determines the awarded credential and typically this varies by state at the associate level. In both Minnesota and Ohio, the state has regulations in place to classify the type of credential we awarded at the associates level as an Associate of Applied Science degree. Any associate’s degree listed for the Herzing University locations within these two states are considered an Associate of Applied Science degree. All other associate degree programs awarded at other Herzing University locations are considered an Associate of Science degree.

State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA)
State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA)
Herzing University is an institutional participant in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA), a voluntary and regional method to oversee distance education. As a result of Herzing University’s participation in SARA and approved by its home state of Wisconsin, Herzing may offer distance education programs in SARA member states without further approval from the individual state. SARA only applies to distance education and does not cover instruction provided on-ground at any of Herzing University’s campuses. www.nc-sara.org
Student Complaint Procedure for SARA
If a complaint is not settled to the student’s satisfaction in a state where Herzing University is delivering distance education by virtue of its participation in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA), the student may, after a final institutional decision is made, appeal the decision to the Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities (WAICU), Herzing University’s State Portal Agency under SARA. WAICU is the contact point for student complaints in states covered by SARA (this process does not apply to students receiving distance education from Wisconsin).
