Professional Licensure Public Disclosures

As required by federal regulations in 34 CFR 668.43(a)(5)(v) and in compliance with the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (SARA) Manual, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign indicates whether a program’s curriculum meets or does not meet the educational requirements for licensure or certification in that state. This information is found below in the Disclosures by College section of this website. This disclosure does not guarantee any state licensure or certification authority will approve or deny your application for licensure. Furthermore, this disclosure does not account for changes in state requirements that may have occurred after it was updated. Current and prospective students are encouraged to contact their state’s licensure authority or review the University of Illinois State Authorization Licensing and Complaint Information page for all licensure and certification requirements pertaining to their state. These public licensure disclosures also address requirements found in 38 CFR Part 21 relating to veterans’ education benefits.

Student Location

For the purposes of this policy, a student’s location (not residency) will be determined at the time of initial enrollment in any undergraduate or graduate program.

A prospective student who applies to enroll or a current student who, at the time of initial enrollment, enrolls in only in-person classes at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign will be considered located in Illinois for the purposes of this policy.

For all other prospective students, their location is the U.S. state or territory listed in the permanent address included in their University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign admissions application or educational program equivalent.

A prospective student or a current student signing a written attestation that they intend to seek employment in a state will be considered located in that state effective upon the date the signed attestation is delivered to the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign Registrar. The written attestation must be in the form prescribed by the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign.

Location designations shall remain in effect unless and until a student notifies their academic program in writing of changes to the U.S. state or territory listed in their permanent address OR without a permanent address change notifies their academic program that they intend to change their location for the purposes of this policy. Once a student has properly notified the academic program in writing, the university will consider the new U.S. state or territory as the student’s location for the purposes of this policy.    

This policy only determines location (not residency) for purposes of professional licensure as governed by 34 CFR § 668.43 and is not a factor in determining residency for tuition purposes.  All other university policies that determine Illinois residency for the purpose of tuition assessment will not be superseded by this policy.

Disclosures by College

For licensing board contact information, program approval status, and program contact information, please see below. Licensure information is reviewed and updated annually. Students who plan to pursue licensure for any programs should be aware that state licensure requirements are subject to changes. While a program may originally meet the educational requirements for licensure, changes in requirements could impact the program’s ability to meet any new educational requirements. Students should always check with their state licensure board to confirm licensure requirements.
