What is the State Authorization Network?

Connecting knowledge, resources, and people.

Established by WCET in 2011, the State Authorization Network (SAN) supports higher education institutions, organizations, and professionals navigating state and federal requirements for out-of-state activities.

SAN brings people together to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and learn from one another. Through practical resources, timely information, and professional learning, SAN supports people in managing day-to-day compliance responsibilities. 

As requirements evolve, SAN helps its community address emerging challenges and prepare for what comes next.
