Distance Education
Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College has been approved to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements.

Professional Licensure Disclosure
The SARA manual has specific requirements regarding student notifications for licensure programs:
SARA has no effect on state professional licensing requirements. Any institution approved to participate in SARA that offers courses or programs designed to lead to professional licensure or certification or advertised as leading to licensure must satisfy all federal requirements for disclosures regarding such professional licensure programs under §34 C.F.R. 668.43(b). For SARA purposes, these requirements will also apply to non-Title IV institutions.
For SARA purposes, institutions that are unable, after all reasonable efforts, to determine whether a program will meet state professional licensure requirements shall provide the student or applicant with current contact information for any applicable licensing boards and advise the student or applicant to determine whether the program meets requirements for licensure in the state where the student is located.
The NC-SARA has created a tool to assist school in this effort.
