Professional Licensure/Certification

While the programs offered by Rockford University are intended to prepare a student for licensure/certification that meets the educational requirements as established by the appropriate regulatory board, licensure/certification requirements may vary among jurisdictions.  Students should contact their home state’s licensing board to obtain the applicable requirements, rules, and regulations of their home state, and are responsible for determining whether an online distance education program will meet their home state’s requirements for certification, or licensure prior to enrollment.  Please select the state below for the appropriate disclosure information for our education and nursing programs.

It is important for you to know the specific requirements of the state in which you intend to apply for licensure/certificate.  If you are considering a program that may lead to professional licensure or certification, it is highly recommended you seek guidance from the appropriate licensing/certificate board/agency prior to enrolling in an academic program. 

The licensure information is reviewed and updated in August every calendar year.  That does not mean it is accurate or current, given the fact state agencies can change licensure requirements at any time.
