国家授权互惠协定(SARA)
The 国家授权互惠协定(SARA) is a voluntary agreement among member states, districts, 以及美国的领土, which establishes comparable national standards for interstate offering of postsecondary distance education courses and programs. It is intended to simplify the process of taking online courses for credit offered by postsecondary institutions based in another state. SARA is overseen by a national council (NC-SARA) and administered by four regional education compacts.
North Carolina is a member state of SARA, through the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB). 太阳城娱乐 (UNC-Chapel Hill) is a participating institution of SARA and authorized to offer distance education courses and programs to students located in all 50 states, 哥伦比亚特区和美国.S. territories.
Federal regulations require that institutions provide both current and prospective students with contact information for filing complaints with the educational institution, with its accrediting body and the appropriate state agency for handling complaints in the state where a student is located.
If you have a complaint about UNC-Chapel Hill’s Online and Distance education courses/programs, 您可以选择以下选项:
学生抱怨
第一步:所有学生
All students, 无论物理位置如何, should first seek resolution for complaints by speaking with the department chair or program director. Many times this can be resolved if a student makes an appointment with the department chair or program director and communicate their concerns. 如果无法在此级别解决问题, 学生可以通过几种方式来处理投诉. A comprehensive resource list on student complaint and grievance procedures can be found on the 道德与政策办公室网站, which will bring student complaint or concern to the appropriate individual(s) or office(s) for resolution. 学生也可以联系 学生主任办公室 询问应遵循的程序.
