(National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements) impacts out of state distance education students with respect to consumer protection complaints. According to NC-SARA policies, only those complaints resulting from distance education courses, activities and operations provided by SARA-participating institutions (午夜剧场 is a SARA-participating institution) to students in other SARA states (New York is a SARA state) come under the coverage of SARA. 

The National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA) is a private nonprofit organization [501(c)(3)] that helps expand students’ access to educational opportunities and ensure more efficient, consistent, and effective regulation of distance education programs.

SARA policies do not cover complaints related to grades or student conduct violations. Complaints about a SARA institution’s in-state operations are to be resolved under the state’s normal provisions, not those of SARA. At 午夜剧场, this includes internal Student Complaint processes, and NYSED (New York State Education Department). 

Student complaints relating to consumer protection laws offered under the terms and conditions of SARA must first be filed with the institution to seek resolution. 午夜剧场 ensures that all concerns and complaints of students are addressed fairly and are resolved promptly. Student complaints relating to consumer protection laws (See “Consumer Protection”) offered under the terms and conditions of SARA must first be filed with the institution to seek resolution. A student may appeal the institution decision to the SARA State Portal Entity in New York State within two years of the incident about which the complaint is made.
