Does the DPOS oversee distance learning via the Internet?
State statutes say if a school operates in Colorado, meaning establishes, keeps or maintains any facility or location in this state where, from, or through which educational services are offered or educational credentials are offered or granted, it should be DPOS approved unless the school is exempt. However, many schools offering programs and degrees via the Internet do not seek DPOS approval. To protect themselves, consumers should contact the DPOS before enrolling in schools offering distance learning programs.
