PROFESSIONAL Licensure Disclosure
State Authorization: Cameron University is a member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA) which allows CU to provide distance learning programs (both online and in the form of supervised field experiences) and coursework to residents of states other than Oklahoma. NC-SARA membership, however, does not grant reciprocity or exempt CU from state professional licensing requirements. As a result, licensing and/or certification requirements in Oklahoma may not be recognized as sufficient to obtain a license in other U.S. States and Territories.

Professional Licensure Program (PLP): an academic program offered by institutions of higher learning
designed, marketed and/or advertised to meet educational requirements: (1) for a specific license or certification; and (2) is required for employment in an occupation.
Professional Licensure Disclosure: a requirement by the U.S. Department of Education for all colleges and university to communicate publicly and directly to prospective and current students about:
• Academic programs that will or will not fulfill educational requirements for a specific professional licensure
that is required for employment in that field; and
• Academic programs that meet or do not meet the education requirements for licensure for each state and
U.S. territory regardless of the delivery mode of the program.
Disclosures by Program: Cameron University offers several academic programs that lead to professional
licensure in the state of Oklahoma and, in some programs, prepare students for a national exam. Based on CU's
Student Location Policy, the University will use a student’s Location for the purpose of determining any required licensure disclosures in compliance with federal law. It is the responsibility of the student to notify CU of any address change while enrolled at CU.
For out of state students, a list of Academic Programs by Department that lead to Professional Licensure or Certification can be accessed by clicking on the following link to determine if the program:
• Meets licensure requirements in all U.S. States and Territories.
• Meets licensure requirements in Oklahoma only.
• Meets Licensure Requirements for “select” U.S. States and Territories/Does Not Meet Licensure
Requirements for “select” U.S. States and Territories.
