Effective July 1, 2020, the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) implemented new regulations that professional nursing programs (Registered Nurse and Advanced Practice Registered Nurse [APRN]) must adhere to. Regulation 34 CFR 668.43 (a) (5) (v) will require the nursing program to provide:
- A list of all states/jurisdictions where the institution’s curriculum meets state educational requirements for professional licensure or certification;
- a list of all states/jurisdictions where the institution’s curriculum does not meet state educational requirements for professional licensure or certification; and,
- a list of all states/jurisdictions where the institution has not made a determination of whether the curriculum meets state educational requirements for professional licensure or certification.
The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) provides resourceful information for graduates seeking to practice in another state. Remember, this only applies to pre-licensure nursing and APRN candidates seeking professional licensure. Each state has specific licensure requirements that can be viewed on NCSBN Board of Nursing Professional Licensure Requirements . When selecting North Carolina, you will be able to view state requirements for out-of-state nursing programs whose graduates want to test or endorse licensure to North Carolina.

The Program Completion Verification System will allow you to verify your current and past graduates replacing the requirement of the Verification Form.
