Professional Licensure
The University of Wisconsin-Platteville offers several programs leading to professional licensure within the State of Wisconsin. States vary in what professions they require to be licensed and how licensure functions. Some states require and individual to graduate from an approved program. Others require an individual to meet certification requirements of a national organization. A specific amount of training can also be required as well as passage of an exam based on a state requisite exam score. Often, licensed professionals must complete continuing education on an annual basis.
If a student is planning to apply for licensure in a state other than Wisconsin after completion of their program, the student should refer to the information below or contact the other state's appropriate licensing board to determine whether the UW-Platteville program meets licensure requirements in that state.
Please note that licensure requirements are always subject to change. Although the University of Wisconsin – Platteville will confirm the licensure requirements on a routine basis, we strongly recommend that you inquire with the state board to confirm that you understand and will meet the requirements for licensure before enrolling in your program of choice.

Student Location
In accordance with the U.S. Department of Education’s requirements set forth in Title IV, 34 CFR § 600.9, 34 CFR § 668.43 and the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (SARA), UW-Platteville is required to identify and record the location for its current students and any prospective students, in order to ensure that the university is authorized to provide educational opportunities in that location and for the purposes of individual direct professional licensure disclosures.
All programs that lead to licensure or certification, regardless of modality (in-person, hybrid, or distance education), must determine the location for a student and provide the student with the related professional licensure disclosures.
According to the Universities of Wisconsin Policy SYS 121, Interim Policy 100-09, UW-Platteville determines a student’s location at the time of initial enrollment in a professional or occupational licensure or certification program using the following definitions:
- A student who enrolls in a program that holds instruction primarily at a physical location on campus (on-campus instruction) shall be considered located in the state of Wisconsin. This determination is based on the student being located (in part or exclusively) in Wisconsin while receiving instruction and enrolling in a program designed, primarily, to lead to licensure in the state of Wisconsin.
- A student enrolling in a program that offers instruction in a hybrid learning format will be considered located in Wisconsin.
- A student enrolling exclusively in distance education will be considered located at their current address listed on their official application and/or acceptance into the program.
State Authorization of Distance Education
Pursuant to Wis. Stats. Ch. 39.85, et. al, the State of Wisconsin is a member of the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement through the Midwestern Higher Education Compact which regulates the manner in which participating institutions may offer distance learning education to students who reside in other states. UW-Platteville is a participating institution in SARA.
