State Authorization/Governance Financial Reporting
Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education
An institution that participates in the federal student aid programs authorized under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, must be authorized to operate by the state where it is located. There are two basic requirements for an institution to be legally authorized by the state for Title IV funding eligibility purposes. The state must authorize an institution to operate educational programs beyond secondary education, and the state must have a process to review and appropriately act on complaints concerning the institution, including enforcement of applicable state laws. Nebraska’s Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education is responsible for responding to these formal complaints at http://www.ccpe.state.ne.us/PublicDoc/Ccpe/Complaint.asp.
State Licensure
The US Department of Education requires the University of Nebraska at Omaha to notify both prospective and enrolled students in degree programs that lead to state licensure or certification required for entry into a profession in the state in which students are located.
Certification and licensure requirements differ from state to state. University of Nebraska at Omaha is required to notify students if the program they are interested in or enrolled in will meet educational requirements to apply for certification or licensure in their home state.

Governance/Financial Information
The University of Nebraska is one university, governed by a Board of Regents whose members are elected by Nebraska voters. The board appoints a chief executive officer—the president of the University of Nebraska—who is the single administrative officer responsible to the board. The university conducts its programs primarily on its four campuses (UNO, UNMC, UNL, UNK). The president's office provides overall leadership to the university in academic affairs, budget development and control, business and finance, physical planning, policy development, external affairs, diversity and equity, and legal affairs. The chancellors of the four campuses, who are appointed by the president, also serve as vice presidents of the university and as chief operating officers on their own campus.
