State Compliance and Distance Education

Global Strategic Initiatives and Institutional Accreditation (GSIIA) coordinates compliance with U.S. state regulations where CMU is physically present (California, New York and Washington D.C.), as well as CMU’s participation in the consortium for distance education (NC-SARA).

GSIIA provides consultations to academic units on state compliance and distance education matters, including:

• Starting up, physically moving, or sun-setting a CMU program or location in the U.S. or abroad.
• State compliance and accreditation for CMU locations in California (Silicon Valley and North Hollywood), New York (New York City), Washington DC, and any other physical location in the U.S.
• Distance education and NC-SARA agreements between Pennsylvania and other U.S. states.
