CHARLESTON, W.Va. — West Virginia is joining a movement that makes it easier for students to take online college courses
— which are among military personnel’s most popular — offered by campuses in other states.
The state Higher Education Policy Commission announced the reciprocity agreement becomes effective Dec. 1.
The agreement lets accredited institutions operate in other participating states without seeking independent authorization, making it easier for them to expand access to online courses.
Sixteen other states are part of the agreement.
The National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements oversees the program.
