Licensure Information

Danville Area Community 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 DACC will have the minimum educational qualifications to apply for Illinois licensure. Completion of a DACC program may not meet educational requirements for licensure or certification in a state other than Illinois.

The U.S. Code of Federal Regulation [34 C.F.R. § 668.43(a)(5)(v)] 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.

While DACC'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. Federal law prohibits DACC's students 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.

NC-SARA has worked with other entities to create the Professional Licensure Directory. It provides general contact information for programs leading to a professional license and its updated twice annually. It does not house regulations or requirements. Students may find the contact information helpful in their research on state licensure agreement based on their location.

The DACC programs listed below lead to professional licensure or certification in the state of Illinois. The Professional Licensure Disclosure link includes a list of states and whether or not the program meets the educational requirements for licensure in other states. If  you are thinking about pursing a career in another state, DACC recommends that you contact the licensing agency in that state before beginning at DACC.
