State and National Board Examinations / Licensure Requirements

Certain costs related to state and national licensing and/or certification and registration examinations are the student’s responsibility.  West Coast 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 the 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 your responsibility for fees incurred in the course of professional testing, licensing, certification or registration.

Since passing state and national board examinations are pre-requisite to students obtaining licensure in many fields, West Coast 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 improve performance on the test.  For further program-specific state and board examination requirements, see the programs specific information in this catalog.
