Out-of-State Licensure and Certification
By federal regulation 34 CFR 668.43, Eastern Shore Community College must disclose to prospective out-of-state students which states its programs meet and do not meet the applicable educational requirements for professional licensure or certification.
Prospective students outside the Commonwealth of Virginia who may enroll in a program at Eastern Shore Community College that prepares students for external certification or licensure or may require clinical placements or internships should be from a state where the program MEETS the educational requirements for certification or licensure.
If the student is from a state where the prospective program does NOT MEET the student’s home state requirements and the student is enrolled in at least one online course during their first semester in the program, the student must provide a written attestation where they intend to seek employment after completing the program. Online students cannot enroll if they reside and plan to seek employment in a state where the prospective program does not meet that state’s requirements for certification or licensure.
The table below provides information on ESCC’s programs that lead to licensure or certification required for employment in Virginia. It includes the contact information for Virginia and out-of-state licensing agencies. This list is subject to change and will be updated as more information becomes available.

Complaint Resolution
Eastern Shore Community College’s Student Complaint and Grievance policies and procedures are described in our College Catalog and Student Handbook. ESCC strives to provide the highest quality educational opportunities available. However, if a conflict does arise, our efforts are meant to resolve your grievances, complaints, and concerns in an expeditious, fair, and amicable manner. Students should carefully follow the steps outlined in our catalog to ensure proper and timely resolution of their complaint.
In accordance with the State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA), the complaint procedures outlined in our catalog are subject to oversight by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) in complaints arising from students living outside Virginia who are enrolled in courses at ESCC. If an issue cannot be resolved by the college’s customary resolution procedure, students may file a formal complaint directly with SCHEV. Grade appeals and student conduct appeals are not allowed under SARA.
Students located outside of Virginia can find information about their state’s student complaint procedures in the list below:
