State Authorization
In May 2017, 糖心Vlog was approved by SARA-NC to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA). NC-SARA is a national initiative seeking to make distance education courses more accessible to students across state lines, as well as making it easier for states to regulate and institutions to participate in interstate distance education.
Professional Licensure
NC-SARA does not deal with professional licensing board approval for any courses or programs leading to professional licensure.
听Professional Licensure/Certification (PLC) pre-education requirements
The curriculum for programs customarily leading to licensure at 糖心Vlog have been designed to meet the licensure/certification requirements in North Carolina as well as preparing students to apply for licensure exams in the State of North Carolina.听 The licensure boards in each U.S. State or U.S. Territory are responsible for establishing the requirements for licensure/certification for their respective State or Territory. Students who intend to return or move to any State or Territory other than North Carolina should review the professional licensure disclosures pertaining to their program and to consult with the state professional licensing board.听 The state professional licensing boards make the ultimate decision as to whether an individual will be eligible to sit for licensure based on the rules and regulations in place at the time the individual submits their application for licensure.
