- Pueblo Community (PCC) is currently a member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA) and is working cooperatively with higher education authorities in all U.S. states and territories to ensure compliance with state authorization requirements that govern the offering of courses in those states or territories, including complaint processes. PCC will continue to monitor developments in the U.S. states and territories in which it has prospective or enrolled students. If authorization or licensure is or becomes necessary, it will obtain approvals or provide disclosures of the jurisdictions in which it is not authorized to offer courses or programs.
- California is not a member of NC-SARA. The California Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education (CBPPE) regulates distance education offerings of private institutions to residents of California. Since Pueblo Community College is a public institution, PCC is exempt from approval by the CBPPE. Students residing in California who are pursuing degrees or certificates at PCC that will lead to a professional licensure are strongly encouraged to consult with the appropriate licensing agency in California to verify that the degree or certificate offered by PCC will meet any California licensing requirements, prior to starting the degree or certificate.
- If you are not an on-campus student at the PCC and plan to enroll in distance classes, please check the NC-SARA Map to verify that your state has either authorized or exempted PCC to offer classes or programs to you as a resident of your state.
- If you have a complaint against a higher education state agency responsible for state authorizations, please see the complaint process. Please follow the process outlined on the webpage.
- If you already contacted PCC, and nothing was resolved, your next step is to file a complaint with Colorado SPE (State Portal Entity). To find the name of a contact, please open the NC-SARA Directory, and click on Colorado on the map; locate Pueblo Community College (PCC) in the list and click on the “Colorado Department of Higher Education” link located on the right. The name of the SPE contact will appear. You will then contact this person listed and advise the contact you would like to file a complaint.
