The Kansas Board of Regents authorizes private and out-of-state institutions to operate in Kansas with a Certificate of Approval that must be renewed annually. These schools are business enterprises offering instruction for business trade, technical or industrial occupations leading to a certificate, diploma, or academic degree. All schools operating with a physical presence in Kansas or that are actively soliciting* enrollment of prospective students in the state of Kansas must apply for a certificate of approval or an exemption.

* Active solicitation of Kansas students may include (but is not limited to) trying to attract students to enroll in a course (who will remain in Kansas while taking the course) by: placing ads in Kansas papers or running ads on Kansas based TV or radio stations; mailing Kansas residents written materials; sending representatives into Kansas to attempt student recruitment; or engaging in other means of solicitation that specifically contacts or targets Kansas residents in order to encourage them to enroll in a private postsecondary school that is offering a certificate, diploma or degree.
