Any out-of-state applicant should be advised that SUNY Polytechnic Institute is a NC-SARA member for online education. Guidance from NC-SARA for professional programs can be found on the NC-SARA website.
Out-of-state applicants should be aware of the following required conditions:
- Out-of-state candidates need an RN license in New York State AND the state they are currently in.
- All out-of-state preceptors need an RN NY license in addition to a license in their state.
- SUNY Poly is not responsible to find clinical sites outside of NY state.
Effective July 1, 2024, federal regulation requires institutions of higher education to make a determination whether a Title IV eligible academic program that leads to professional licensure or certification meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification in the U.S. State where the institution is located and the U.S. States where “distance education” students are located at the time of initial enrollment in the program, as well as U.S. States where the program is advertised as meeting such requirements, and if applicable, the U.S. State where students attest they intend to be licensed/certified. The Post-Master’s PMHNP program at SUNY Polytechnic Institute is registered by the New York State Education Department and thus meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification for New York State. Through a good faith effort, and for the purpose of complying with the federal regulation, we have determined that our program also meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification in New Jersey; however, it is important to note that SUNY Polytechnic Institute is not the licensure/certification authority in New Jersey and cannot assess whether an individual candidate will be issued a license/certificate in New Jersey and instead it is incumbent on each individual candidate to contact the licensure/certification authority in the applicable U.S. State for any further guidance on the requirements for licensure/certification requirements and application processes.
