Student Attestation for Professional Licensure and State Certification Programs
Yavapai College (YC) degree and certificate programs for professions that require licensure or certification are intended to prepare the student for Arizona licensure and certification requirements. Licensure and certification requirements are set by agencies that are not controlled by or affiliated with the College. YC is committed to transparency to ensure that students are informed about which programs align with the educational standards and requirements of each state so students can make informed decisions.
Yavapai College provides disclosures through a good faith effort whether a degree or certificate program meets academic requirements for professional licensure or certification outside of Arizona. The Professional Licensure by State identifies whether professional licensure:
- Meets applicable professional licensure requirements. Student attestation is not required.
- Does not meet applicable professional licensure requirements. Student attestation is required.
To enroll in a program with the status of “Does not meet” requirements for a specific state or territory, students must complete an attestation at the time of initial enrollment at YC according to federal regulation, § 668.14(b)(32)(i) and (ii). This means the student intends to seek employment in a state that meets the educational requirements. Attestation is a vital tool to ensure students make informed decisions with full awareness and consent.
These instructions apply if you are:
- A prospective student seeking to enroll in a professional licensure or state certification program,
- Located outside the state of Arizona,
- Enrolling in a program that does not meet licensure requirements in your current state, but
- You intend to work in a state where the program does meet licensure requirements.
Notification and Student Attestation Process
A current or prospective student that admits into a professional licensure program that does not meet the requirements in the state they are located will receive an email from a program staff member informing them that they are ineligible to enroll in the program.
If you are ineligible and intend to seek employment in a different state for which the program meets licensing requirements, you may submit a Student Attestation: Professional Licensure Form.
The program staff member will review attestations. You will be notified about your eligibility to enroll in courses at Yavapai College.
Relocation can impact your ability to continue in a program and meet licensure eligibility. Inform your program staff member if your location changes to ensure all requirements are met.
