A Higher Standard for Online Education

Fairfield online learning programs are accountable to the standards of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA), a private nonprofit organization that helps expand students’ access to educational opportunities and ensure more efficient, consistent, and effective regulation of distance education programs.

If you are an online student residing in any U.S. State or Territory, you are entitled to local contact information for complaints resulting from distance education courses, regarding Fairfield’s compliance to NC-SARA standards.
