In fall 2010, the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) announced Program Integrity Rules, requiring all institutions of higher education participating in Title IV federal student financial aid programs to be able to document compliance with state laws in all states where they offer distance or correspondence education. While this requirement of the Program Integrity Rules has changed because of technical issues, MSU has continued to document its compliance with the myriad of state laws related to issues of program integrity. Please see state specific information below, as regulations vary from state to state.
