Licensing and State Authorization

States have varying rules, requirements and regulations that govern online (distance) education offered by non-profit postsecondary institutions. Specifically, when institutions are providing education to out-of-state students, higher education institutions that offer distance education to state residents must either register, obtain licensure or certification approval, a letter of exemption, or other certification from the relevant state agencies. For some states where the institution lacks a physical presence, which may be defined differently by state, the educational institution is not required to obtain authorization. Many of these regulations also apply to field experiences (e.g., internships, practicums, clinicals, etc.) in the state.

Because VaYU University is not licensed in all states, VaYU may not be able to offer programs to students in all states at all times. If a student relocates while enrolled, he/she/they shall contact VaYU University promptly to determine what the impact may be. VaYU University may not be able to offer the same program to a student who relocates.

VaYU University is registered, licensed, authorized, has a letter of exemption from, or does not have a physical presence for the purposes of licensing or authorization in the states listed below. Information about licensing or exemption in each state can be found by contacting the relevant governmental agency listed below.
