Distance learning for International Students?

What factors enable an accredited distance learning program to qualify for federal financial aid for its students?

• Answer:

  "Even if the program is a distance learning program, the program typically needs to be located within your country to get approval. If the institution is located in another jurisdiction (such as another state), the program may need to meet regulations in both the home jurisdiction and the jurisdiction in which it is operating. Some programs may be required to deliver a certain amount of content in a certain form, or may need to have students write (supervised) examinations."
