UW ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ Licensure Disclosure
Thank you for your interest in applying to, or enrolling in, one of the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ state certification or licensure programs. Under federal Title IV regulation 34 CFR § 668.43(a)(5)(v), institutions are required to disclose “if an educational program is designed to meet educational requirements for a specific professional license or certification that is required for employment in an occupation, or is advertised as meeting such requirements.â€
All of our certification programs have been designed to meet or exceed Washington state requirements. If you currently reside in a state other than Washington, and continue to live there while enrolled in the program, or plan to work in a state other than Washington after completing a Washington state-approved certificate program with us, we have prepared the following information on other states where 1) the ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ (COE) preparation program meets or does not meet the state’s educational requirements. According to federal regulations, the UW ±¬×ߺÚÁÏ can enroll students from states where the program does not meet educational requirements only if they attest at the time of enrollment that they intend to move to work in a specific state where the program satisfies educational requirements.
This information is accurate as of January 16th, 2025. We will review and update this information annually.
