OUT-OF-STATE LICENSURE
The US Department of Education (Federal regulation Sec 668.43 A-C) requires FHSU to notify applicants who have an out-of-state address and are interested in or registered in degree programs that lead to state licensure or certification of individual state licensure requirements.
We must notify you if the program you are interested in or registered in will meet the educational requirements to apply for certification or licensure in your home state. The official categories are: Meets, Does Not Meet, and Have Not Made a Determination if it Does or Does Not Meet. A Does Not Meet or Have Not Made a Determination-status does not indicate that you will be unable to obtain certification or licensure in your home state. Common causes for a Does Not Meet or Have Not Made a Determination include the following:
- Your home state certification agency requires a transcript review before applying for certification.
- Your home state does not have an equivalent for an endorsement completed in Kansas.
- Your home state requires you to take an additional course or exam specific to that state’s history or laws. These courses and exams are not offered in Kansas.
Except for Kansas, Fort Hays State University has made no determination if this program will lead to licensure in your state or the state where you seek licensure. Because every state has different requirements that may change frequently, we recommend checking with your state education department for current requirements.
Please review the Licensure Disclosure on the Graduate School page for more information.
