Licensure Process for Institutions Operating in Louisiana

For institutions domiciled in Louisiana, the term operating applies to the offering of courses and programs through any modality. For institutions domiciled outside Louisiana, the term operate shall mean the offering of courses that are physically delivered in the State of Louisiana and/or require clinical experiences in the State of Louisiana. The term clinical experiences shall mean site-based learning activities (e.g. clinical, internships, student teaching, practicum, field-based experiences, etc.) in settings (e.g. hospitals, schools, businesses, etc.) in which students are working with patients, children, teachers, principals, etc. in Louisiana and are observed/assisted/evaluated by supervisors, preceptors, coaches, teachers, principals, or other individuals to determine that course and program requirements have been addressed. SARA-approved institutions that offer interstate-supervised clinical experiences in Louisiana are exempt from licensure if the interstate-supervised field experiences place fewer than 11 students from each program in Louisiana who are physically present simultaneously at a single facility/site.

For more information on the licensure process, please see the Compiled Rules and Regulations.
