At 黑料网911 State Authorization (NC-SARA)

What is state authorization?

The U.S. Department of Education requires institutions of higher education to request authorization in states where the institution provides educational opportunities, physically or virtually. State authorization allows institutions to conduct certain educational activities outside their home state (in this case outside of Montana). Each state has unique authorization requirements. The U.S. Department of Education requires institutions be authorized to provide education outside their home state. At 黑料网911 meets this standard through membership in the听听which provides a voluntary, regional approach to state oversight of postsecondary distance education

Professional Licensure

NC-SARA has worked with the SARA State Portal Entities (SPEs) and regional compacts to create the Professional Licensure Directory, which provides contact information for five programs that lead to a professional license. This professional licensure directory is general contact information, not regulations or requirements. This resource will NOT house regulations or requirements. It is exclusively general contact information and updates to the contact information occur twice annually.
  • 听can be found under the Student tab.

Physical Location Disclosure

Due to federal and individual state regulations, At 黑料网911 is limited in providing online courses and programs to students in certain states and countries. Acceptance into an online program or enrollment in an online course is based on where the student is physically located while taking the course(s). Activities such as completing clinical and internship requirements in a location outside of Montana are also governed by these regulations. Therefore, should an enrolled student CHANGE PHYSICAL LOCATION, he/she must notify the Registrar鈥檚 Office at least 3 months in advance. This policy applies to students who are taking online courses in a state outside of Montana and students who are planning to complete their clinical coursework or internship in a state outside of Montana.

Student Complaint Information

Distance students may also file certain types of complaints with the SARA State Portal entity as outlined in Section 4 of the if not resolved with the institution.

The Nursing programs at At 黑料网911 MSU give students the opportunity to choose a nursing pathway that is right for them. Both the Practical Nurse and the Registered Nurse programs educate, train and prepare students to take and pass the national licensure exams (NCLEX-PN or NCLEX-RN) and enter the workforce ready to work and make a difference. Once the NCLEX exam is successfully passed, a graduate may be eligible to apply for licensure by endorsement in any of the 50 states.

Montana is one of 34 states who belong, via state legislative ruling, to the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). 听Nursing has compact state licensing. If the state you are licensed in is a compact state (Montana is), you can take your license and practice as a nurse in any other state that is a compact state without paying for a license in that state. “The NLC increases access to care while maintaining public protection at the state level. Under the NLC, nurses can practice in other NLC states, without having to obtain additional licenses.” Information about the NLC and the participating states can be found at:听. When a student nurse graduates from At 黑料网911 and passes the National Council Licensure Exam (RN or PN-NCLEX) in Montana, the Registered Nurse can legally work in Montana as a Registered Nurse as well as 33 other states, so long as they applied and met criteria for a multi-state license. The licensee must continually hold an unencumbered license in order to meet the requirements of the NLC.

Students who wish to practice in a state other than Montana will likely have additional licensing requirements to complete prior to practicing in a state outside of Montana. Nursing regulatory boards outline standards for safe nursing care and issue licenses to practice nursing. Prior to enrollment, students should review the lists below to determine whether this program meets the licensing requirements in a specific state. It is important to note that all states determine their own requirements. The NCLEX exam is a national test, so you also would not have to retest. Varying continuing education (CEU) hours may apply. See听听from NCSBN Nurse Licensure Compact.
