Federal and state regulations require institutions of higher education to determine the State in which a student is located at the time of the student’s initial enrollment and/or upon formal receipt of a change of location from the student. The College must determine student location in order to disclose to the student state-specific professional licensure/certification information for their state of location and discuss whether the educational programs and curriculum at Zane State College, which satisfy licensure/certification in the state of Ohio, meet the requirements for the student’s state of location.

Zane State College is a member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA), which permits the College to enroll out-of-state students in online educational programs. Acceptance into an educational program or enrollment in course(s) is based on where the student is physically located while taking the course(s). This policy (per Ohio Admin Code Policy 3357:15-18-13) applies to all students taking credit-bearing courses at Zane State College including in-person, online, and military students.

Zane State College recognizes the student address on file in the student information system (SIS) as the student’s physical location. A student’s physical location is recorded in the SIS at the time of enrollment and will remain in effect unless and until the student provides official notification of change to the College.
