The DETC Task Force on State Acceptance was formed to research, gather, and collate information regarding state authorization distance learning institutions—to act as ‘the eyes and ears’ of the DETC community at large. Using the task force’s collective resources to formulate best-practices and strategies DETC institutions can use when dealing with state regulation issues, and disseminate them to all DETC institutions.
This Q&A Panel Session will allow attendees to discuss the task force's findings, learn new information about the regulations, and share successful (and not-so-successful) strategies for working with the new state authorization rules.
