Professional Licensure Disclosure

Professional Licensure Disclosure

Gulf Coast State College is approved to offer programs that may lead to professional licensure or certification in Florida. GCSC is required by the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA) to disclose whether your prospective program meets the professional licensure or certification requirements in other states. 

GCSC does not guarantee that programs which fulfill Florida licensing requirements will satisfy the criteria of professional licensure boards in other states, as each state has unique requirements for professional licensure or certification which are subject to change at any time and without notice.

If you live in another state and are a prospective student interested in one of these programs, please contact the appropriate licensing agency in your state or the state where you intend to work to get its state licensure requirements before applying to a program.

Professional Licensure regulations can vary by state and are frequently revised. Gulf Coast State College makes every effort to ensure licensure information is current, but cannot guarantee that the program meets all of the requirements in any other state besides Florida.
