The Honors Program fosters academic excellence by bringing together and supporting students committed to making the most of their studies. It emphasizes the interrelationship of knowledge and offers students the strongest possible education in the liberal arts in the belief that it will be the best foundation for any major and the best preparation for a successful future.

Important Information | Notifications

 
 

Utica University offers programs which are intended to prepare students for professions involving certification or licensure. The grid below shows the states for which Utica University’s programs satisfy the educational requirements for licensure. Please note, individual states may require additional non-educational requirements (such as a criminal background check).

The information contained in this table is affirmed by the relevant program directors and is reviewed on a regular basis. However, specific state requirements may change between review periods and students are encouraged to confirm this information with state licensing authorities in the states where they intend to work.

State Licensing Programs

Any student who has been treated unfairly will have the right to be heard fairly and promptly. The University recognizes that disputes may sometimes arise and requires the parties involved to resolve the conflict informally whenever possible. If resolution cannot be reached, a formal complaint can be submitted to assure impartial and equitable resolution.

Student Complaint Process

Student Location Confirmation

In accordance with federal code amendment 34 CFR--PART §600.9(c)(2)(ii) effective as of July 1, 2020 and the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA) rules listed in the NC-SARA Manual 24.1, the University has established the following process for confirming student location.

  • The location of each student is initially determined by the information provided at the time of enrollment.
  • It is the student’s responsibility to inform the University of any change in their location.  This can be done by completing an address change.
  • Students are required to complete an address verification at the commencement of each semester.

This applies equally to all students enrolled at Utica University.
