The U. S. Code of Federal Regulations require disclosures by institutions regarding educational
requirements for programs leading to professional licensure or certification regardless of modality. The
institution must make readily available to enrolled and prospective students information about whether
programs leading to professional licensure or certification meet educational requirements.
Before enrolling in a program intended to satisfy a particular state’s educational requirements for the
practice of a particular occupation, students are strongly encouraged to review the information under
the respective program. Students are also encouraged to contact the appropriate state licensing agency
to seek information and additional guidance before beginning a program outside of their home state.
SARA institutions are required to provide related disclosures; institutions that participate in federal
student financial aid programs must meet similar federal requirements.
If Heartland Community College has not determined whether a program meets the educational
requirements for licensure or certification outside the state of Illinois, you should contact the
appropriate state licensing entity to determine whether it meets the educational requirements for
licensure or certification in the state you live or work.
