Spoon River College offers programs leading to professional licensure. These programs are defined as those that meet educational requirements for a specific professional licensure or certification that is required for employment in an occupation. States vary in what professions they require to be licensed and how licensure is acquired. Academic programs that provide a path to optional, national, or industry certifications do not require disclosure.

A student who graduates from a licensure program at SRC will have the minimum educational qualifications to apply for Illinois licensure. Completion of an SRC program may not meet educational requirements for licensure or certification in a state other than Illinois.

The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations and State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) regulations require disclosures by institutions regarding educational requirements for programs leading to professional licensure or certification regardless of modality. Before enrolling in a program that leads to licensure, students are strongly encouraged to review the information under the respective program.

Student Location

While Spoon River College’s licensure programs meet Illinois state educational requirements, the college does not guarantee that its programs meet the requirements in other US states or territories. Furthermore, federal law prohibits Spoon River College from enrolling students located in states where “does not meet” is indicated for any given program. Prospective students who reside outside of Illinois will not be admitted to our licensure programs without a written attestation stating that the student plans to practice in Illinois upon completion of the respective program.

Should a student relocate to another state during the course of a program, it may impact the student’s ability to remain in the program, meet the state licensure requirements, and/or continue to receive financial aid funding.

The Professional Licensure Directory

NC-SARA also has created and maintained the Professional Licensure Directory, which provides contact information for programs leading to a professional license that have the most enrollments nationally. Nursing is included in this directory and is also a licensure program offered at Spoon River College.

This resource does not house regulations or requirements; it is exclusively general contact information. Students may find this contact information helpful in their research on state licensure requirements in their locations. NC-SARA updates the contact information twice annually.
