Location Matters

Prospective and Current Online & On-campus Student

Program Availability by State Location

Dakota State University offers a broad range of academic degree programs available for on-campus and distance education students. Out-of-state students should be aware of their state’s requirements for learning from a distance or licensure preparation.

Academic programs and individual graduates must meet standards set by that state’s licensure requirements in order for a graduate to be eligible for a license. Our programs that prepare students for a professionally licensed occupation include Teacher Education and Professional Accountancy.

Change in Location During the Semester

Prospective and current students should keep in mind that licensing and authorization requirements vary by state. Your admission into a program is granted at the time of initial acceptance into the DSU program. In situations where your educational plan changes after registration, you shall inform DSU of any change in physical location. Update your address through the SD Board of Regents Student Portal. Scroll down to under My Academic Information and click on Student Personal Information.

Enrolling in Experiential Learning Activity Course Outside of South Dakota

Before registering for an experiential learning activity course in a state other than that of your physical location, you shall first need to check a few things before you start the activity as distance education regulations and authorization are subject to change. (Activities such as, but not limited to, clinical, internships, externships, student teaching supervised field experience, co-curricular courses, fellowships, seminars, etc.)
