WCET held a webcast in late August, themed “What Are Institutions Doing (or not Doing) about State Authorization?”  The webcast focused on their recent survey, conducted with the University Professional and Continuing Education Association (UPCEA). The 2011 survey examined how the state authorization issue was affecting institutions and how they were responding to the federal requirement to comply with regulations in all states where they serve students. Two hundred and thirty institutions from the UPCEA and WCET memberships responded to the survey. Their responses shed some light on how institutions are handling (or not handling) authorization, the estimated costs to comply, and whether or not seeking authorization in a state is cost-prohibitive.
