Institutional and Professional Licensure Disclosures for Enrolled and Prospective Students
Institutional and professional licensure disclosures for enrolled and prospective students in one of NCCU’s nursing programs satisfy the professional and certification requirements in North Carolina and prepare students to sit for these exams. However, requirements in other states may be different. If you are considering a bachelor of science (B.S.N.) in a nursing program that may, would or could potentially lead to a B.S.N. professional license or certification, please note that at this time, NCCU may or may not be able to advise whether a program meets requirements outside of North Carolina.
This disclosure is strictly limited to the University’s determination of whether its educational programs if successfully completed, would be sufficient to meet the educational licensure or certification requirements. The University cannot provide verification of any individual’s ability to meet licensure or certification requirements unrelated to its educational programming, as individual states may change their requirements for licensure and certification.
Prior to enrolling in a B.S.N. program, please make an advising appointment at Nursing Student Services to discuss this important topic with your program of interest.
