NC-SARA State Authorization
State authorization is the process which ensures that legislative and regulatory requirements are met in all the states where University of Mary Washington students are located. Virginia is a member state participating in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA) and the University of Mary Washington is an institutional partner in the NC-SARA initiative. As a result, UMW programs are available to students in U.S. states and territories that participate in NC-SARA.
