Student Rights & Responsibilities Professional Licensure Disclosures
Per U.S. Federal Regulations, §668.43 (2019 Rule), and in compliance with the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (SARA) Manual version 19.2, Tompkins Cortland Community College provides the following disclosure related to the educational requirements for professional licensure and certification.
New York State values its licensed and certified professionals. For the protection of its citizens, each license and certificate has requirements that individuals must meet in order to be licensed or certified in New York State. SUNY's academic programs leading to licensure or certification are carefully designed to meet and exceed these State requirements. This is a role SUNY plays in protecting the public. Other states frequently have their own requirements. Enrolled students and prospective students – who wish to seek licensure or certification related to the fields listed below-- are strongly encouraged to contact their State’s licensure entity to review all licensure and certification requirements imposed by their state(s) of choice. We encourage you to talk to the department chairperson of the program if you plan to practice in a State other than New York after graduation.

Chemical Dependency Counseling- Certificate
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 Chemical Dependency Counseling Certificate program at Tompkins Cortland Community College is registered by the New York State Education Department and thus meets the educational requirements for licensure/certification for New York State.
