This award recognizes outstanding efforts by SAN member institutions and organizations in developing a high-quality, comprehensive solution to any challenging state authorization issue. Work recognized by the SANsational Awards presents solutions that meet the needs of regulators, the institution and, most importantly, students.

The disclosures are available to prospective students via the University of Phoenix website, online catalog and corresponding marketing materials prior to enrollment.

University of Phoenix utilizes both specialized and cross-functional teams to ensure notifications and disclosures are current and provide clear and relevant information to students.

"We are honored to receive this award.
