Professional Licensure Disclosure
Jacksonville University participates in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA), which allows us to offer online programs to students in member states. However, completion of an academic program offered by Jacksonville University does not guarantee eligibility for professional licensure or certification in any state.
Professional licensure requirements vary by state and profession, and they may change over time. If you are considering an academic program that leads to professional licensure (such as nursing, counseling, education, or other regulated fields), it is your responsibility to:
Review the specific licensure requirements for the state in which you intend to seek licensure.
Confirm with the appropriate licensing board or agency that the program meets the requirements for licensure or certification in that state.
Contact your program director or advisor at Jacksonville University for guidance and resources related to licensure pathways.
For more information about NC-SARA and participating states, visit www.nc-sara.org.
Important Note
Jacksonville University makes every effort to ensure the information provided is accurate and up to date; however, we cannot guarantee licensure approval outside the State of Florida.
Students are strongly encouraged to contact the licensing board in their state of residence or intended employment before beginning any program to confirm whether Jacksonville University’s program meets state licensure requirements.
Nursing Licensure Disclosure
Jacksonville University’s Keigwin School of Nursing offers programs designed to prepare graduates to pursue professional nursing licensure. However, professional licensure requirements for nurses vary by state and are determined by each state’s Board of Nursing.
Jacksonville University is approved by the Florida Board of Nursing, and our programs meet the educational requirements for licensure in the State of Florida.
For states outside of Florida, Jacksonville University cannot guarantee that its nursing programs meet all educational requirements for licensure.
Students who plan to seek licensure in a state other than Florida are responsible for reviewing that state’s licensure requirements and confirming eligibility directly with the applicable Board of Nursing.
Student Responsibility
Before enrolling in a nursing program at Jacksonville University, students who reside outside of Florida or intend to practice in another state should:
Review that state’s licensure requirements through the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) website.
Contact the Board of Nursing in their state of residence or intended practice to verify whether Jacksonville University’s program meets licensure requirements.
Reach out to the Keigwin School of Nursing for assistance in understanding licensure pathways.
Important Note
Completion of a Jacksonville University nursing program does not by itself guarantee eligibility for licensure or certification in any state.
Some states may require additional clinical hours, coursework, or testing.
Licensure requirements are subject to change at the discretion of state boards. Students should regularly confirm requirements with the appropriate licensing agency.
