Eligibility and How to Apply
Licensure, Credentialing, and Certification Requirements
Admission into programs leading to licensure, credentialing, or certification eligibility does not guarantee that students will obtain a license, credential, or certification. Licensure, credentialing, or certification requirements are set by agencies that are not controlled by or affiliated with the CSU and requirements can change at any time. For example, licensure, credentialing, or certification requirements can include evidence of the right to work in the United States (e.g., social security number or tax payer identification number) or successfully passing a criminal background check. Students are responsible for determining whether they can meet licensure, credentialing, or certification requirements. The CSU will not refund tuition, fees, or any associated costs, to students who determine subsequent to admission that they cannot meet licensure, credentialing, or certification requirements.
Information concerning licensure, credentialing, or certification requirements are available from our Administrative Support Coordinator, School of Nursing, 6000 J Street, Sacramento, CA 95819-6096; 916- 278-4106.
