| Tennessee | Chattahoochee Technical College | Pending | 7/14/2011 | A distance education provider engages in the activities described in Rule 1540-01-02-.04(1) if it establishes a physical presence. The definition of physical presence as found in Rule 1540-01- 02-.03(1)(ii) provides: “Physical presence” means actual presence within the state of Tennessee for the purpose of conducting activity related to: a postsecondary educational institution; an educational service; dissemination of educational credentials; enrollment; solicitation; or, advertising. Physical presence as further outlined for purposes of authorization shall include but not be limited to: 1. An instructional site within the state; 2. Instruction within or originating from Tennessee designed to impart knowledge with response utilizing teachers, trainers, counselors, etc., or computer resources, or computer linking (e.g. Internet), or any form of electronic telecommunications; 3. Dissemination of an educational credential from a location within the state; 4. An agent, recruiter, institution or business that solicits for enrollment or credits or for the award of an educational credential; 5. Advertising, promotional material or public solicitation in any form that targets Tennessee residents or uses local advertising markets in the state for institutions seeking, holding or required to hold a certificate of authorization. THEC interprets the definition of physical presence to: – include having an instructor lead a distance education course from within the state; – include advertisements that appear on the webpage of a local newspaper; – include facilitating and/or entering into an arrangement with any business, organization, or similar entity located in Tennessee for the purpose of providing an internship, externship, practicum, clinical, student teaching, or similar opportunity; and – not include enrolling a Tennessee student if the recruitment of the student did not involve any of the prohibited activities. If an institution engages in any of the activities listed in the definition of physical presence, it must obtain authorization by filing an Initial Authorization Application with THEC. Otherwise, an institution that does not engage in any of the listed activities does not have to take any action. | States/TN Distance Education Authorization Requirements - Final.pdf |

| Virginia | Chattahoochee Technical College | Approved | 6/8/2011 | If an out-of-state institution does not plan to operate a facility in Virginia and/or the mechanism by which instruction is initiated (server) is not located within Virginia, the school does not meet Virginia’s criterion of physical presence. Any school not meeting this criterion is ineligible for certification to operate in Virginia. This ineligibility would not prevent or prohibit an out-of-state institution from offering postsecondary instruction via distance learning to residents of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Those students, however, would not benefit from protections available to students attending institutions that are certified by SCHEV. SCHEV is unable to speculate as to what effect, if any, its physical presence requirement may have on the Title IV eligibility of Virginia residents enrolled in distance learning programs offered by out-of-state institutions that are ineligible for certification. The U.S. Department has indicated that it plans to publish a Dear Colleague Letter that will address this issue, among others. | States/Virginia.pdf |

| Wisconsin | Chattahoochee Technical College | Approved | 6/2/2011 | "Under s.38.50 (1)(e)2., Wis Stats., '[s]chools that are supported mainly by taxes' are exempt from EAB oversight. Because the exemption is not restricted to public institutions governed by the state of Wisconsin, the EAB has consistently interpreted it to mean any public college or university that is an instrumentality of a state is exempt. Because your institution meets this criterion, it is deemed to be exempt from EAB oversight. Should your institution offer programs in a regulated profession, such as nursing, counseling or teacher training, you are adivsed to contact those respective oversight bodies (e.g., the Department of Regulation and Licensing or the Department of Public Instruction) about requirements specific to those programs." | States/Wisconsin.pdf |
