Licensure & Certification Disclosures

Licensure & Certification Disclosures

Elgin Community College offers several programs leading to professional licensure and/or certification in the State of Illinois. Effective July 1, 2020, the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations 34 CFR 668.43 requires disclosures for all programs leading to a license or certification. All ECC programs of study are designed to meet the licensure requirements in the state of Illinois. This program has a national exam. Students who pass this exam are eligible to work in any U.S. state. This does not include U.S. territories. If a student’s location is determined to be a U.S. territory, the program director must assess the student’s location and requirements for professional licensure before the student registers for any classes. The program director will communicate if ECC’s program of study meets the student’s location requirements for professional licensure and provide them consent to register for classes. If it is determined that the student’s location meets the requirements, this does not guarantee admission into the program of study, as there may be a secondary admission process.
