Professional Licensure and State Authorization
Avila University provides the information below to help students understand whether our programs meet the educational requirements for professional licensure or certification in each state or territory.
If you plan to seek professional licensure or certification, we strongly encourage you to review the requirements for the state where you intend to practice before enrolling in a program.
Professional Licensure
The programs below are designed or advertised to prepare students for professions that may require state licensure or certification.
For each applicable program and state, Avila identifies whether:
Meets Requirements — Avila has determined, based on its review of the available state requirements, that the program’s curriculum meets the applicable educational requirements for licensure or certification in that state.
Does Not Meet Requirements — Avila has determined that the program’s curriculum does not meet the applicable educational requirements for licensure or certification in that state.
Not Determined — Avila has not determined whether the program meets the educational requirements for licensure or certification in that state.
Meeting the educational requirements does not guarantee licensure or certification. States may have additional requirements, such as examinations, supervised experience, background checks, or other requirements that must be completed before a license or certification is issued.
Before You Enroll
Professional licensure and certification requirements are established by individual states and licensing or certification agencies. Requirements can change, and they may differ from one state to another.
If you plan to pursue professional licensure or certification:
- Identify the state where you intend to practice.
- Review the information for your Avila program and that state.
- Check the requirements of the appropriate state licensing or certification agency.
- Contact the state agency directly if you have questions about whether your education will meet its current requirements.
If you move to another state during your program or after graduation, you should review that state’s requirements before beginning the licensure or certification process.
Avila University makes every reasonable effort to keep this information current. However, students are responsible for understanding and meeting the requirements of the state or jurisdiction where they seek professional licensure or certification.
distance Education Reciprocity Agreements
The National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA) is a nonprofit organization that helps expand students’ access to educational opportunities and ensures more efficient, consistent, and effective regulation of distance education programs. Students enrolled in distance education courses who have a complaint about a course or experience should follow the complaint policy for their respective home institution.
Student complaints relating to consumer protection laws offered under the terms and conditions of the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA), must first be filed with the institution to seek resolution.
If a resolution is not achieved, a consumer may contact the SARA State Portal Entity for Missouri or their home state. The SARA State Portal Entities are listed at https://www.nc-sara.org/state-portal-entity-contacts
