State Authorization Information for Online Students
DMACC has been approved to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (SARA). You can appeal problems with your online course using the
Student Policies page.
Below is a phone number and website that provides information (either contact or otherwise) about authorization of distance education.
State of California
As an out-of-state public institution, Des Moines Area Community College is not under the purview of the California Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education, thus Bureau approval for DMACC Online to offer its programs to residents of California is not required. Therefore, DMACC is in compliance with California regulations concerning postsecondary distance education.
