Student Location Policy

In accordance with 34 CFR §600.9 - State Authorization and federal regulations for Title IV purposes, St. Ambrose University has a policy that defines student location for purposes of complying with disclosure requirements.

This policy defines the student location as the State where the student resides at the time of enrollment at St. Ambrose University.   Simply put, it is the place where someone would complete the majority of their required coursework. As such, Iowa is considered the location for students enrolled in face-to-face licensure programs at any of SAU's Iowa-based campuses. Students in online programs living outside of the state of Iowa are defined by their state of residence.

The designated state will remain in effect unless and until a student changes the address using the Change of Address form located on the Registrar's Portal Page or the Office of the Registrar website. Once a student enters a new U.S. State or territory, the university will consider that date of entry as the effective date of a student’s revised location for the purposes of this policy. 

NOTE: licensing and authorization requirements can vary by state therefore any relocation by prospective and current students can impact their ability to continue the course, meet the eligibility requirements of that state, and/or receive financial aid funding. Students considering relocation should contact their academic program to check for authorization and licensure eligibility requirements.
