State Authorization & Professional Licensure Information
Out-of-State Students Interested in Online Degree Programs and Classes from Sitting Bull College

State Authorization & Professional Licensure Information 
Student Attestation Forms
 
Students residing in a state or territory where an SBC program “does not meet” state licensure requirements but who intend to relocate to North Dakota or another state where SBC’s program “meets” state licensure requirements must complete and submit a Student Attestation Form prior to enrollment.
 
This form confirms that a student has been informed of the intended program’s professional licensure/certification status and, if applicable, the intent to relocate to a state where licensure is attainable.
