N.M. Admin. Code § 5.99.1.16 - SARA INSTITUTIONS
A.
Non-New Mexico SARA member institutions providing distance education to
students located in New Mexico shall be governed by rules set forth by the
national council for state authorization reciprocity agreements, the SARA
manual, and the applicable regional compact.
B. If a non-New Mexico SARA member
institution seeks to place students at experiential learning sites in New
Mexico to complete supervised learning experience, the institution must comply
with SARA manual regarding maximum placements for an individual academic
program at one clinical or practicum site. If the institution seeks to exceed
placement limitations in the SARA manual for an individual academic program at
one clinical or practicum site, the institution must notify and seek permission
from the department. Non-New Mexico SARA member institutions that place
students in supervised learning experiences within New Mexico and exceed the
maximum number of placements without department approval or do not adhere to
rules for placements set out pursuant to the SARA manual, placements may be
subject to objection by the department. The department will follow procedures
for objection pursuant to the SARA manual. If a non-New Mexico SARA member
institution seeks to place students from an individual academic program
simultaneously at one clinical or practicum site within New Mexico in excess of
the amount permitted pursuant to the SARA rules, the department will consider
the demonstrated ability of the non-New Mexico SARA member institutions and the
clinical or practicum site to provide adequate learning opportunity and
resources to the student. In making its determination, factors the department
may consider include, but are not limited to:
(1) the size of the facility or location of
the experiential learning site;
(2)
the number of distinct divisions, departments, or units to which students will
be placed within the experiential leaning site;
(3) whether the divisions, departments, or
units engage in distinct specializations or disciplines;
(4) whether the number of supervisors,
mentors, faculty member or other qualified professionals available to provide
oversight to fulfill the terms of any agreement between the institution and the
clinical or practicum site;
(5)
overall demand for student placements by all institutions seeking to establish
agreements with the clinical or practicum site.
C. New Mexico home state SARA member
institutions providing distance education from New Mexico shall be governed by
rules set forth by the national council for state authorization reciprocity
agreements, the SARA manual, and the western interstate commission on higher
education compact. Application fees for New Mexico home state SARA member
institutions shall be assessed by the department pursuant to Section
5.99.1.18 NMAC.
