Licensure Disclaimer
Maricopa Community Colleges courses and programs prepare students for entry into a variety of professions. Many of
these professions require that a person hold an occupational license or certificate in order to work in a particular field.
Typically, a person must meet certain legal requirements before obtaining such a license or certificate. These requirements
are established by county, state, or federal agencies and often are based on a person's character or whether the person
has been convicted of a criminal offense. It is possible for a student who has obtained a degree or certificate from a
community college to be denied the right to work in a particular profession, after completing the degree or certificate,
because of concerns over the student's character or criminal background.
Any student preparing to enter a field for which a professional license or certificate is required is strongly advised to
consult with the appropriate government agency that issues such credentials. That agency can provide the student
complete information about any requirements the law imposes for working in a particular occupation.
