Licensure boards in each state are responsible for establishing the requirements for licensure for their particular state. Students who are located or intend to locate in any state other than New Mexico 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. 

San Juan College shall not be held liable if the student is unable to qualify for licensure in any jurisdiction or cannot obtain a practicum/internship location.

Student location is determined when a student applies to San Juan College. Every semester, prior to registration, students are asked to update their contact information.
