Professional Licensure Disclosures

New York State prides itself on the high quality of its licensed and certified professionals. Certain professions have requirements that individuals must meet to be licensed or certified in New York State. SUNY's academic programs leading to licensure or certification are carefully designed to meet and exceed these State requirements. This is a role SUNY plays in protecting the public. Other states set their own requirements. 

Per U.S. Federal Regulations §668.14 and §668.43 and in compliance with the SARA Policy Manual version 25.2, Finger Lakes Community College provides the following disclosure related to the educational requirements for professional licensure and certification.¹

This disclosure is strictly limited to FLCC's assessment of whether the educational programs listed below would meet the licensure or certification requirements in a state if successfully completed:

• Chemical Dependency Counseling, A.A.S.
• Emergency Medical Technician – Paramedic, A.A.S.
• Emergency Medical Technician – Paramedic, Certificate
• Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN), Certificate
• Nursing, A.A.S.
• Teaching Assistant, Certificate

FLCC cannot verify an individual's ability to meet licensure or certification requirements unrelated to its educational programming. State licensing boards make these individual, fact-specific determinations.

This disclosure does not guarantee that any particular state licensure or certification entity will approve or deny your application. Furthermore, this disclosure does not account for changes in state law or regulation that may affect your application for licensure and occur after this disclosure has been made.

If you enroll in a licensure program and live outside of New York State, FLCC does not guarantee the program will meet the licensing requirements established by your state of residency. At the time of enrollment, out-of-state applicants must submit an attestation confirming their intended program meets the licensing guidelines for New York State but will not meet the guidelines for the state they live in. On a regular basis, students will be asked to attest to their physical location for these purposes.
