Professional Licensure Disclosures

Southeast New Mexico College (formerly NMSU Carlsbad) programs leading to professional licensure are designed to meet New Mexico’s professional licensure education requirements. Completion of a SENMC (formerly NMSU Carlsbad) program may not meet educational requirements for licensure or certification in a state other than New Mexico.

Since each state and territory has different laws and regulations, graduates of SENMC (formerly NMSU Carlsbad) programs may or may not be eligible for licensure in other U.S. states and territories. It is highly recommended that current and prospective students check with the state licensing board and the respective advisors of the program in which they intend to be licensed before they start an SENMC (formerly NMSU Carlsbad) professional licensure program. Additional licensure requirements may include professional examinations, background checks, years of work experience, fingerprinting, etc.

SENMC (formerly NMSU Carlsbad) will not be liable for any determination that is later found to be inaccurate. If you will be applying for licensure outside of NM, contact the appropriate licensing agency in that U.S. state or territory about licensure requirements.

Due to the different state/territory licensing requirements, relocating during a program can impact a student’s ability to continue a program, meeting eligibility requirements in another state, and/or receiving financial aid. If relocating, students should contact their program to check for state authorization and licensure eligibility requirements. SENMC
