Out-of-State Students State Authorization Status

Authorization Types
Internships/Clinical Experience/Field Work

Professional Licensure and Certification
California State University programs for professions that require licensure or certification are intended to prepare the student to meet California licensure and certification requirements. Admission into programs for professions that require licensure and certification does not guarantee that students will obtain a license or certificate. Licensure and certification requirements are set by agencies that are not controlled by or affiliated with the California State University and licensure and certification requirements can change at any time.
The California State University has not determined whether its programs meet other states’ educational or professional requirements for licensure and certification. Students enrolled in a California State University program who are planning to pursue licensure or certification in other states are responsible for determining whether they will meet their state’s requirements for licensure or certification.
This disclosure is made pursuant to 34 CFR §668.43(a)(5)(v)(C).
Student Complaint Process
Pursuant to the United States Department of Education's Program Integrity Rule, each institution of higher education is required to provide all prospective and current students with the contact information for the state agency, or agencies, that handle complaints against postsecondary education institutions offering distance learning within that state.
起点传媒 encourages students to utilize California State University's internal complaint or review policies prior to filing a complaint with a state agency.
Should a student wish to file a complaint in their home state, please select the state contact from the Consumer Protection State Contacts list to file a complaint directly in their state.
