Licensure Disclosures By State
Professional Licensure and Certification Requirements – Federal Regulation as of July 1, 2020
Some of the academic programs at Oklahoma Wesleyan University (51) lead to professional licensure. Beginning July 1, 2020, the U.S. Department of Education regulations require licensure disclosures for all programs leading to a license or certificate.
Each state and territory have different professional licensure and certification requirements. Students who are considering an academic program that may allow them to pursue professional licensure in their state or territory are strongly encouraged to check their state’s or territory’s information below and contact the appropriate licensing agency to seek information and additional guidance before beginning a program outside of their state.
51 is a member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA) which allows us to provide distance education to students who reside in states other than Oklahoma. The Professional Licensure Directory from NC-SARA is linked at the end of this section. Use this section to find the licensing information for each state/territory.
Please note that 51 teaches to the license and certification standards of the State of Oklahoma. If you plan to work in any state other than Oklahoma, it is highly recommended that you verify that state’s permit, license, or certification requirements before enrolling in an 51 licensure program. A state’s requirement may include specialized training or specific curriculum that is not required in Oklahoma and as a result, may not be sufficiently covered in the 51 professional licensure curriculum. 51 disclaims responsibility for the failure of any student to meet the educational requirements for a permit, license, or certification in any jurisdiction other than Oklahoma.
If you relocate during your tenure as an 51 student, please review the requirements for that state and speak with the dean of your school to ensure professional licensing in that state is a possibility.
International Students: Prior to enrolling in an 51 licensure program, prospective students who live and/or work outside of the United States should confirm with the appropriate licensing agency whether successful completion of the 51 licensure program meets the requirements of the country where they intend to live/work. Certain types of employment require advanced or specialized programs.
Requirements of NC-SARA by state:

Can I use my financial aid to purchase books?
Title IV aid (Pell Grant or Direct Loan) recipients who have a credit balance after charges and aid have posted may purchase books through Follett’s site with a voucher as a charge on the student’s account. The amount of the book purchase will be considered a charge and deducted from the credit balance (student refund) after the financial aid posts. Any change in enrollment or loss of financial aid eligibility may result in an aid recalculation. If aid is reduced, the student will be responsible for repaying this charge along with any tuition or fees that are due.
Even if using a voucher, you may be asked to enter a credit/debit card information. The card will be used if you do not fulfill the rental return obligation.
A few things before you proceed:
- Have your student ID (Ex – 000081234)
- You must have said selected “I authorize Oklahoma Wesleyan University to apply the credit balance derived from Federal funds/aid to charges on my student account for other goods and services, such as books, supplies, fines, etc. I want to use my extra federal aid to cover my other charges.” To complete that form or update your response, here is a link to that form https://lfforms.okwu.edu/Forms/FSA-Authorization
