State Licensure For Programs

Federal Regulation requires all higher education institutions that offer an academic program that is either designed to meet educational requirements for a professional license or certification or is advertised as meeting such requirements, to provide students with information about whether completion of that program would meet licensure requirements in a state for that occupation.

Students enrolled in a Northeast program for licensure and/or certification can find the states where that licensure and/or certification is applicable listed below. Northeast has also identified where the program curriculum may not meet requirements of other states. Since specific requirements vary, students should obtain information from the state in which they plan to practice.

NC-SARA Participating Institution badge CareerOneStop is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment, and Training Administration providing a survey tool for locating regulatory bodies associated with licensed professions in each state. NC-SARA provides a Professional Licensure Directory with contact information for some programs that lead to professional licensure.

Northeast Community College participates in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements.

Attestation Information for Students Located in “Does not Satisfy Educational Requirements” States

Federal regulation, § 668.14(b)(32)(i) and (ii), requires students to complete an attestation at the time of initial enrollment at Northeast into a professional licensure or state certification program that does not meet the educational requirements for the state or territory where the student is located. The attestation serves as a crucial tool to ensure that students engage in the decision-making process with full awareness and consent.

The attestation requires students to:

  1. Disclose their intentions and plans for professional licensure upon graduation from Northeast and outline future plans for location of employment.
  2. Acknowledge that they have been informed by Northeast that the program for which they intend to enroll is not designed to meet the educational requirements for licensure or certification in the state where they are located, or plan to be located.
  3. Attest to seek employment in a state that meets the educational requirements for licensure or certification.
  4. Confirm that Northeast has provided program advising and alternative options and resources related to their pursuit of professional licensure or state certification.

Northeast is committed to complying with federal regulations and demonstrating transparency to ensure that students are fully informed about how Northeast’s professional licensure and certification programs align with the educational standards of a state or territory, empowering them to make informed decisions about their education and future career paths.

This attestation must be completed prior to acceptance into the program. If the attestation is not completed, you will not be allowed to enroll in courses.
