Professional Licensure

In compliance with U.S. Department of Education regulations, 赌钱app可以微信提现 provides information pertaining to professional licensure and certification for all relevant programs.

Professional Licensure Requirements May Vary State to State

赌钱app可以微信提现 offers a number of programs that lead to professional licensure or certification within the State of Kansas as well as, potentially, other states. States vary in what professions they require to be licensed and how licensure or certification functions. Some states require individuals to graduate from an approved program. Others require individuals to meet the requirements of a national organization. Specific amounts of training may also be required as well as passage of an exam based on a state requisite exam score. Additionally, certain licensed professionals may be required to complete continuing education annually to maintain licensure or certification.

Disclosures Based on Student Location

The U.S. Department of Education requires direct disclosures of professional licensure or certification information to students based on their locations. 赌钱app可以微信提现 identifies the location of its students based on information provided by students during the registration process identifying students’ physical locations or upon relocation.

Relocating to another state prior to completing a program may affect state licensure requirements. Prior to considering relocation, students are advised to contact their programs to discuss licensure and certification eligibility requirements. Following relocation, students must update their addresses at the 赌钱app可以微信提现 Change Your Name or Address web page. 赌钱app可以微信提现 will not consider a student to have relocated until it has received this completed form.

What All Students in Licensure Programs Should Do

Prior to enrolling in any program at 赌钱app可以微信提现, prospective students living and/or working outside of the United States should confirm with the appropriate licensing or certifying agency whether successful completion of any program at 赌钱app可以微信提现 will meet the credentialing requirements of the country in which they intend to seek employment.

Students should review the specific academic requirements for the program in which they are enrolling, including those related to practicum/internships as well as pre-qualifications for licensure, such as the need for a criminal background check.

赌钱app可以微信提现 strongly recommends that students contact the applicable licensure board(s) in their state of residence or in the state where they intend to obtain a license before beginning an academic program that results in licensure or certification and prior to beginning any practicum/internship.

Many licensing and certifying boards require more than successful degree completion to obtain a license or certification. Please be advised that state laws, regulations, and policies may change at any time, which can impact the program's ability to meet educational requirements for licensure or certification.

General Comments:

Students are eligible for the licensing exams upon successful completion of the EMS program. Successful completion of the licensing exams results in Kansas licensure and a National Registry of EMTs (NREMT) certification. NREMT certifications are the basis of reciprocity and must be renewed every two years to remain active. To gain licensure in other states, students must maintain their NREMT certification.

A limited number of states participate in the Recognition of EMS Personnel Licensure Interstate CompAct (REPLICA) which extends a qualified EMS professional licensed in a “Home State” the “Privilege to Practice” in “Remote States” for qualified circumstances. REPLICA may allow a graduate with a lapsed NREMT certification to gain licensure in certain states without current NREMT status. Information regarding the EMS Compact and the Interstate Commission for EMS Personnel Practice is available at www.EMSCompact.gov.

General Comments:

The licensure requirements for nurses differ across the states and U.S. territories. Johnson County Community College recommends students visit the National Council of State Boards of Nursing at http://www.ncsbn.org/nurse-licensure-guidance.htm to identify the nursing requirements for the state in which the student plans to live and practice.

The Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) allows a nurse to have one multistate license with the ability to practice in the nurse’s home state and other compact states. Kansas is part of the NLC. To learn which other states are part of the NLC, go to http://www.ncsbn.org/nurse-licensure-compact.htm.
