Professional Licensure Disclosures

New York State prides itself in the high quality of its licensed and certified professionals. For the protection of its citizens, each license and certificate has requirements that individuals must meet in order to be licensed or certified in New York State. Thus, each of SUNY’s academic programs that lead to licensure or certification are carefully designed to meet and exceed these State requirements. This is the role the SUNY system plays in protecting the public.

Per U.S. Federal Regulations, §668.14 and §668.43 and in compliance with the SARA Policy Manual, SUNY Geneseo provides the disclosure(s) on this page related to the educational requirements for professional licensure and certification for academic programs leading to professional licensure to meet the educational requirements for licensure in states where SUNY Geneseo students reside. These disclosures do not provide any guarantee that any particular state licensure or certification entity will approve or deny your application. Students are responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable state certification and licensure requirements. Professional licensure/certification requirements vary from state to state, which may affect a student’s ability to apply for a professional licensure/certification upon completion of the educational program, prior to licensure. Furthermore, these disclosures do not account for changes in state law or regulation that may affect your application for licensure and occur after these disclosures have been made.

Effective July 1, 2024, federal regulation requires institutions of higher education to make a determination whether a Title IV eligible academic program that leads to professional licensure or certification meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification in the U.S. State where the institution is located and the U.S. States where “distance education” students are located at the time of initial enrollment in the program, as well as U.S. States where the program is advertised as meeting such requirements, and if applicable, the U.S. State where students attest they intend to be licensed/certified. The decanal units offering these programs have made the following determination regarding their curriculum.
