Online Compliance & Disclosures

This page details important information for students enrolling in Fairfield University’s (a) online and low-residency programs and (b) programs that lead to a state certification or state licensure, regardless of whether or not those programs are online or low-residency.

Fairfield University offers a variety of programs specifically designed to prepare graduates for professional licensure or certification within the State of Connecticut. Licensure requirements vary by state, and some may require individuals to complete additional coursework, fieldwork, background checks, individual state licensing exams, specific fees, or other requirements to obtain licensure or certification in that state.

Fairfield University has not made a determination that its curriculum meets the state educational requirements for licensure or certification in any state outside of Connecticut.

Fairfield University is a member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA), which allows us to provide online and distance learning programs to residents of states outside of Connecticut. NC-SARA membership, however, does not grant reciprocity or exempt us from state professional licensing or certification requirements. As a result, licensing requirements in Connecticut may not be recognized as sufficient to obtain a license in any other state.

Students who begin an online program while residing in a state in which Fairfield is authorized to offer online programs need to be aware that moving to a state in which the University is not authorized to offer that program may have negative consequences. While the University attempts to obtain authorization everywhere its students live, moving to a state in which the University is not authorized could result in the loss of eligibility for certain forms of financial aid and/or in the inability of the student to complete the academic program.

Fairfield University has not made a determination that its curriculum meets the state educational requirements for licensure or certification in any state outside of Connecticut. Students who begin a professional licensure or certification program while residing in a state in which Fairfield is authorized to offer programs need to be aware that moving to a state in which the University is not authorized to offer that program may have negative consequences. While the University attempts to obtain authorization everywhere its students live, moving to a state in which the University is not authorized could result in the loss of eligibility for certain forms of financial aid, the inability of the student to complete the academic program, or the ability to be licensed and practice within that state.

Students who intend to return or move to any state other than Connecticut need to review the professional licensure disclosures pertaining to their program and consult with the state professional licensing board. The state professional licensing boards make the ultimate decision as to whether or not an individual will be eligible for licensure based on the rules and regulations in place at the time the individual submits their application for licensure.

Programs that require completion of practicum hours at an approved clinical site may also require criminal background checks, fingerprinting, and/or drug testing prior to clinical placement. Due to individual and/or state requirements for clinical placement approval, students with a criminal background or felony conviction may not be able to secure a practicum site. Failure to complete the required practicum/clinical hours would prevent successful program completion.

Individual state regulations may also prohibit those with a criminal background from obtaining a professional license or make students ineligible to sit for licensing or certification examinations.

Prior to enrolling in any program at Fairfield University, prospective students living and/or working outside of the United States should confirm with the appropriate certifying agency whether successful completion of any degree program at Fairfield University will meet the credentialing requirements of the country in which they intend to seek employment, as to certain types of employment or for advanced/specialized educational programs.

Fairfield University shall not be held liable if a student is unable to qualify for licensure or certification in any jurisdiction outside of the United States.

Current and prospective students should review with their program advisor the specific academic requirements for the program in which they are enrolling, particularly those related to practicum/internship, as well as pre-qualifications for licensure such as the need for a criminal background check, testing requirements, fees, etc. Current and prospective students should contact the applicable licensure board(s) in their state of residence or in the state where they intend to obtain a license before beginning an academic program that results in licensure and prior to beginning any internship/practicum. Please be advised that national and state laws, regulations, and policies may change at any time. It is the responsibility of the student completing the licensure program to check with the licensing board(s) in their state of residence or in the state in which they intend to obtain a license for the most recent information and requirements.

In accordance with SARA requirements, complaints should first be registered and addressed through standard Fairfield University procedures. These can be found under "Student Academic Grievance Procedure" in the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs. Concerns related to non-discrimination and harassment should be addressed through the process described in the Student Handbook. If an issue cannot be resolved internally, the party may contact the NC-SARA Connecticut State Portal Entity:
