State and National Board Examinations / Licensure Requirements

State and national licensing and/or certification and registration examinations are the student’s responsibility. The University will provide students with information regarding test dates, locations, and fees whenever possible. Students should be aware that all test fees, unless stated on the enrollment agreement, are in addition to tuition paid to the University. Students who choose to participate in state and national licensing and/or certification or registration examinations are responsible for paying the sponsoring organizations. Students are advised to check with their academic department’s administrative office to determine their responsibility for fees incurred in the course of professional testing, licensing, certification or registration.

Since passing state and/or national board examinations are pre-requisite to students obtaining licensure in many fields, the University places a high priority on preparing students to successfully pass these exams. Students are urged to take state or national board examinations as soon after program completion as possible to enhance the likelihood of success. For further board examination requirements, see program-specific information in this catalog.
