Licensure and certification requirements vary by profession and by state. If you are considering a University of 91߹program that may lead to professional licensure or certification, it is important to review licensure disclosures before you begin the program.
Why this matters
Federal regulations require institutions to disclose whether a program is designed to or advertised as meeting educational requirements for licensure or certification in a particular state. Institutions are required to provide a list of all States, indicating whether the program curriculum meets or does not meet such requirements.
University of 91߹Licensure Disclosures
Each University of 91߹campus maintains information about licensure-related programs and their current status as well as links to applicable state licensure boards. If you are considering an academic program from the University of 91߹that leads to a professional license, it is highly recommended that you review these websites to view the status of your program of interest BEFORE beginning the academic program to ensure that you can obtain a license in your home state.
Important reminder
A status of Does Not Meet does not necessarily mean you cannot become licensed in your state. In some cases, additional coursework, an exam, a transcript review, or other state-specific requirements may apply.
Before you enroll
If you are considering a program that may lead to licensure or certification, you should:
- Review the applicable campus licensure disclosures.
- Confirm your state of residence or the state in which you intend to seek licensure.
- Review information from the relevant state licensing board.
- Contact the campus or academic program with questions.
State authorization and licensure are not the same
State authorization relates to whether the University may offer a distance education program in a particular location. Licensure disclosures relate to whether a program is intended to meet educational requirements for licensure or certification in a particular state.
