National Council of State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (SARA) Complaints

Southeast New Mexico College is a member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC- SARA) and, as such, abides by the Interregional Guidelines for the Evaluation of Distance Education and the provisions of the NC-SARA Policy Manual.

 An NC-SARA institution increases access to distance education for students from other states and territories. If a SENMC distance education student has a complaint, the student must follow the standard procedure for resolution of a student grievance for the College. If the issue remains unresolved, the complaint may be submitted to the New Mexico SARA portal agency entity and/or the New Mexico Higher Education Department (NMHED). The complaint form is available on the NMHED’s website at https://hed.nm.gov/students-parents/nc-sara) or email HigherEd.Info@hed.nm.gov.
