Professional Licensure Disclosures

New York State prides itself on the high quality of its licensed and certified professionals. For the protection of its citizens, each license and certificate have requirements that individuals must meet in order to be licensed or certified in New York State. SUNY's academic programs leading to licensure or certification are carefully designed to meet and exceed these State requirements. This is a role SUNY plays in protecting the public. Other states frequently have their own requirements, so if your goal is to practice in another state, this disclosure will help you check to see what that state requires.

Per U.S. Federal Regulations, §668.14 and §668.43, and in compliance with the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (SARA) Policy Manual, Version 25.1, July 1, 2025, Sullivan County Community College provides the following disclosure related to the educational requirements for professional licensure and certification.

This Disclosure is strictly limited to the Sullivan County Community College's determination of whether the below educational programs - that if successfully completed, would be sufficient to meet the educational licensure or certification requirements in a State.

• Associate in Applied Science - Nursing
• Associate in Applied Science – Respiratory Care

Sullivan County Community College cannot provide verification of an individual's ability to meet licensure or certification requirements unrelated to its educational programming. Such individual determinations are made by state licensing boards and are fact-specific determinations.

This disclosure does not provide any guarantee that any particular state licensure or certification entity will approve or deny your application. Furthermore, this disclosure does not account for changes in state law or regulation that may affect your application for licensure and occur after this disclosure has been made. Enrolled students and prospective students are strongly encouraged to contact their State's licensure entity using the links provided to review all licensure and certification requirements imposed by their state(s) of choice.

To assist you in contacting state licensing boards outside of New York, please refer to the State Authorization Guide maintained by the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA).

For each of the academic programs listed above, Sullivan County Community College has designed educational program curricula that, if successfully completed, is sufficient to meet licensure and certification requirements in the following states:

NEW YORK: Office of the Professions

Requirements for professional licensure in fields such as nursing and respiratory therapy vary from state to state. SUNY Sullivan academic programs are designed to meet New York State licensure requirements and may not meet requirements from other states.

Before beginning any academic program that leads to licensure or certification, SUNY Sullivan highly recommends that you contact the appropriate state licensing board where you wish to seek licensure or certification to determine whether the program you are considering will meet that state's licensing or certification requirements. At this time, SUNY Sullivan has not determined, except as specifically identified below, whether our academic programs meet the licensure or certification requirements for all US states.

Completion of a SUNY Sullivan degree program does not guarantee employment in any profession. Prior to enrollment, students are responsible for confirming all education, testing, and licensing requirements in their chosen field.
