The Arizona State Board would not require licensure of distance education programs as long as there will be no
physical presence in Arizona, as defined by A.R.S. § 32-3001(5). The Board defines physical presence as the use of any Arizona
address, Arizona phone numbers, contact information of anyone listing an Arizona address or program offerings in Arizona. The
Board does not license, regulate or have any jurisdiction over public institutions. Persons who are not operating private
postsecondary programs under the Board's jurisdiction are not required by law to obtain a statement of exemption or waiver
from the Board. Similarly, the Board is not required to issue statements of exemption or waiver. |

"Under s.38.50 (1)(e)2., Wis Stats., '[s]chools that are supported mainly by taxes' are
exempt from EAB oversight. Because the exemption is not restricted to public institutions governed by
the state of Wisconsin, the EAB has consistently interpreted it to mean any public college or university
that is an instrumentality of a state is exempt. Because your institution meets this criterion, it is
deemed to be exempt from EAB oversight. Should your institution offer programs in a regulated profession,
such as nursing, counseling or teacher training, you are adivsed to contact those respective oversight
bodies (e.g., the Department of Regulation and Licensing or the Department of Public Instruction) about
requirements specific to those programs." |
