[wactc-san] July 1, 2024 Deadline for New Professional Licensure Regulations

[McBurney, Melissa]

WACTC-SAN Members:

A reminder that the new regulations for professional licensure go into effect in less than two months. The CFR changes require colleges to meet the educational requirements for licensure in the state a student is located at the time of initial enrollment. Department of Education staff have stated that one online course in a student's first time would cause the institution to need to meet the requirements in the state the student is located. This has huge financial aid ramifications as this has been added to the PPA certification.

Here are some materials to look at to better understand the requirements:
