To determine whether your program of interest is available in a particular state:
Important note for professional licensure programs: The fact that a given program may be approved to be offered in your state does not indicate or guarantee your eligibility for professional licensure or certification in that state. If you are interested in pursuing professional licensure in your state, please review the information on the Licensing Disclosures page to determine if your program of interest will meet your state’s requirements for licensure in your field.
Important note for relocating during the course of a program: Prospective and current students should keep in mind that licensing and authorization requirements vary by state and that relocating during the course of a program to another state could impact whether that student can continue in the course, meet the eligibility requirements of that state, and/or receive financial aid funding. Please contact your program to check for authorization and licensure eligibility requirements if you relocate during the course of a program.
The University of Louisville participates in the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements. SARA allows member states and participating institutions to offer distance education in other member states and U.S. territories so long as the institution adheres to SARA policy manual requirements, including certain quality and consumer protection standards. Except for California, all U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are members of SARA. Although California is not a SARA member, UofL is not subject to the regulations of the California Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education due to our out-of-state public institution status. Therefore, UofL can offer programs to individuals located in California. More information on SARA can be found here.
While we do monitor state regulations, authorization of distance education is a dynamic environment. Although SARA authorizes the University to offer its programs in member states, it is possible that other state requirements not covered by SARA (such as requirements from state licensing boards) could necessitate the restriction of certain programs in certain states. Please note that should you choose to enroll in a restricted program in a particular state, there may be restrictions that could affect you. Examples could include:
Therefore, if you decide to enroll in any of the University of Louisville's restricted programs, or if you move during the course of your studies to a state where your program is restricted, please be aware that you are taking a risk that you may not be able to complete that program or use any of the credit earned in that program should you decide to pursue employment or licensing in that field in that state. Note that the risks listed above are not exhaustive. Please verify with your state’s professional licensing board that your plans are not impacted by these risks.
Students seeking to resolve a complaint regarding their online program should visit our Student Complaint Procedure page.
The University of Louisville works to provide global access to its online degree programs. While we track issues related to international authorization and licensure, it is the student’s responsibility to understand current circumstances or special requirements surrounding online degrees in countries outside the United States. UofL Online reviews this information on a case-by-case basis; however, many times the university cannot determine whether online delivery is permitted or whether a program meets international authorization or licensure requirements.
The University of Louisville also complies with economic sanctions programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Applications for admission and funding plans may be subject to additional review to ensure ongoing compliance with these requirements. Current students traveling or relocating outside of the U.S. may be unable to access University of Louisville campus systems, services, and courses from countries or regions subject to economic and/or trade sanctions by OFAC or other authorities. For a list of current OFAC sanctions, please visit this OFAC site. Contact the Distance Education Compliance Manager at deregs@louisville.edu for further guidance on OFAC sanctions and restrictions.
Additionally, each international location has its own laws regarding online education and professional licensure. Some locations have certain requirements that must be met before certain programs may be recognized. Requirements may vary by licensure area or program.
Please note the following risks and considerations before enrolling in a University of Louisville online program from a country outside the United States:
Therefore, if you decide to enroll in any of the University of Louisville's programs from a country other than the United States, or if you move to another country during the course of your studies, please be aware that you are taking a risk that you may not be able to complete that program or use any of the credit earned in that program should you decide to pursue employment or licensing in that field in that country. Please note that the risks listed above are not exhaustive.
Students considering a program leading to professional licensure should contact the licensing board in their country of residence or country in which they intend to work to determine whether the program is recognized for licensure or certification. Please verify with your country’s professional licensing board that your plans are not impacted by these risks.
*Note: Exceptions may apply for students affiliated with the U.S. military and stationed in an international location (e.g., military members, military dependents and spouses, etc.).

Please note that licensure requirements are always subject to change.
