NOTICE TO STUDENTS re: PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE AND CERTIFICATION
California State University programs for professions that require licensure or certification
are intended to prepare the student to meet California licensure and certification
requirements. Admission into programs for professions that require licensure and certification
does not guarantee that students will obtain a license or certificate. Licensure and
certification requirements are set by agencies that are not controlled by or affiliated
with the California State University and licensure and certification requirements
can change at any time.The California State University has not determined whether
its programs meet other states’ educational or professional requirements for licensure
and certification. Students enrolled in a California State University program who
are planning to pursue licensure or certification in other states are responsible
for determining whether they will meet their state’s requirements for licensure or
certification. This disclosure is made pursuant to 34 CFR §668.43(a)(5)(v)(C).
