Professional Licensure Disclosure
Important Note for Prospective Students: If you are considering an academic program
that leads to a professional license in the state where you plan on living and working
after graduating, it is highly recommended that you first seek guidance from the appropriate
licensing agency in that state BEFORE beginning the academic program at Trinidad State
College. It is the student's responsibility to contact the appropriate licensing board
to confirm whether a TSC program will meet the requirements for licensure in that
state. In compliance with the U.S. Department of Education and the National Council
for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA), Trinidad State College provides
information pertaining to professional licensure and certification in correlation
with programs offered at TSC that may lead to state licensure.
The State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) is an agreement among member
states, districts, and territories that establishes comparable national standards
for interstate offering of postsecondary courses. It is intended to make it easier
for students to take courses offered by postsecondary institutions based in another
state.
If you plan on taking Trinidad State College classes, please check the SARA Map to
verify that your state has either authorized or exempted our college to offer classes
or programs to you as a resident of your state.
Students are advised to review the following program licensure information BEFORE
beginning a program at TSC that leads to professional licensure with the intent to
be licensed outside of the state of Colorado:
Review the licensing information provided for the applicable program(s) below.
While TSC endeavors to ensure this information is up to date, changes in licensure
requirements of any state can change at any time. Contact the appropriate licensing
agency in the U.S. states and territories where licensure is intended. This will enable
you to obtain the most up-to-date information about licensure requirements and confirm
TSC’s program meets those requirements especially while progressing through any of
these programs.
Not all of TSC’s programs are formally approved for professional licensure. However,
while a program may not be formally approved in states outside of Colorado, it may
still meet all or a portion of the “educational” requirements for licensure in other
states and territories. Therefore, it may be necessary for you to contact the licensing
agency directly to find out if a TSC program will meet educational requirements in
states other than Colorado.
Additionally, while progressing through any of these programs, TSC recommends that
you check licensing agency requirements regularly to monitor whether they have changed
in a manner that impacts your licensure plans.
