State Authorization for Online Education

If you are a Mississippi Delta Community College (MDCC) student or a prospective student who will not reside in Mississippi while enrolled in MDCC online classes, be aware that all U.S. states require post-secondary educational institutions to be legally authorized to provide online education courses to students in all states and territories. MDCC participates in the "National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA), an agreement among member states, districts, and territories that establishes comparable national standards for interstate offering of postsecondary online education courses and programs. It is intended to make it easier for students to take online courses offered by postsecondary institutions based in another state. SARA is overseen by a National Council and administered by four regional educational compacts.” 

Colleges and universities in a SARA state only need their home state authorization to offer online education to any other SARA member state. A current list of member states can be found here.


Online Education Complaint Process

For MDCC’s Out-of-State Students

MDCC seeks to resolve concerns and complaints in a fair and timely manner. Students who have a complaint may submit their concerns in accordance with the Student Complaint Process found in the MDCC Catalog/Student handbook.  Complaints regarding student grades or student conduct violations are governed entirely by the MDCC policy. Students should exhaust MDCC’s internal complaint process before pursuing external options.

If a complaint cannot be resolved through the MDCC student complaint process, students may file a complaint with the Mississippi Commission on College Accreditation by visiting their site. Students may also contact the appropriate agency in their state of residency. A current list of agencies can be found here.

Note: This process does not apply to matters related to student grades or discipline/conduct matters.


Professional Licensure

MDCC offers degree programs that can lead to an Associate of Arts degree, Associate of Applied Science degree, Technical Certificate and/or Advanced Technical Certificate. Programs Offered at MDCC

Licensure Programs

MDCC also provides programs in the Health Science area that may lead to licensures and/or certifications. To determine if a state meets the General Disclosure requirements for Professional Licensure, a page was created through the collaborative efforts of community colleges in Mississippi.  These community colleges have agreed to cooperate to avoid redundancies and ensure that federal requirements was and NC-SARA are met.  Professional Licensure requirements for the following Health Science programs can be found Mississippi Community College Professional Licensure Disclosure page or by clicking the links below.

MDCC is committed to creating and maintaining a community where students, faculty, administration, and staff can work together in an atmosphere of mutual respect, functioning in one accord, with institutional policies and procedures.
