PROFESSIONAL Licensure Disclosure

State Authorization: Cameron University is a member of the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (NC-SARA) which allows CU to provide distance learning programs (both online and in the form of supervised field experiences) and coursework to residents of states other than Oklahoma. NC-SARA membership, however, does not grant reciprocity or exempt CU from state professional licensing requirements. As a result, licensing and/or certification requirements in Oklahoma may not be recognized as sufficient to obtain a license in other U.S. States and Territories.

Professional Licensure Program (PLP): an academic program offered by institutions of higher learning
designed, marketed and/or advertised to meet educational requirements: (1) for a specific license or certification; and (2) is required for employment in an occupation.

Professional Licensure Disclosure: a requirement by the U.S. Department of Education for all colleges and university to communicate publicly and directly to prospective and current students about:
     • Academic programs that will or will not fulfill educational requirements for a specific professional licensure
          that is required for employment in that field; and
     • Academic programs that meet or do not meet the education requirements for licensure for each state and
          U.S. territory regardless of the delivery mode of the program.

Disclosures by Program: Cameron University offers several academic programs that lead to professional
licensure in the state of Oklahoma and, in some programs, prepare students for a national exam. Based on CU's
Student Location Policy, the University will use a student’s Location for the purpose of determining any required licensure disclosures in compliance with federal law. It is the responsibility of the student to notify CU of any address change while enrolled at CU. 

For out of state students, a list of Academic Programs by Department that lead to Professional Licensure or Certification can be accessed by clicking on the following link, Professional Licensure Disclosures by Department, to determine if the program:
     • Meets licensure requirements in all U.S. States and Territories.
     • Meets licensure requirements in Oklahoma only.
     • Meets Licensure Requirements for “select” U.S. States and Territories/Does Not Meet Licensure
           Requirements for “select” U.S. States and Territories.

In AY 2022-2023, one student graduated with this concentration.

CU collects data on what graduates are doing approximately six months after graduation. In AY 2022-2023, information was gathered on whether students were employed or continuing their education. The response rates were 80%, 52%, and 53% for students graduating with an associate degree, bachelor’s degree, or master’s degree, respectively. For students who received an associate degree for which information is known, 19% were employed full-time and 82% were continuing their education. For students who received a bachelor’s degree for which information is known, 48% were employed full-time and 37% were continuing their education. For students who received a master’s degree for which information is known, 91% were employed full-time and 7% were continuing their education.

The State of Oklahoma is participating in the Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO) project developed by researchers at the U.S. Census Bureau. PSEO data provide earnings and employment outcomes for college and university graduates by degree level and degree major for participating institutions. Cameron University’s data can be found here.

Notification

CU Notified of Third-Party Vendor Data Breach

Cameron University was notified by the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) of a recent data breach. An unauthorized party obtained files from within the NSC systems that may have contained information from current and former Cameron students. The issue stems from a vulnerability in a software tool called MOVEit Transfer that the NSC uses to transfer data.

Although Cameron University does not use the MOVEit Transfer tool and Cameron’s I.T. systems were not affected by the breach, the U.S. Department of Education requires that Cameron, along with 3600 other colleges and universities nationwide, provide student enrollment data to the NSC.

The NSC is investigating to determine the extent of the breach, but has rectified the vulnerability with MOVEit and is working with law enforcement and third-party security experts to determine what records and individuals were affected.

Cameron is committed to protecting the privacy of student information and takes this matter very seriously so we are providing this notice directly to you. Cameron University personnel will continue to closely monitor the situation and provide updates as we receive them. For more information on the NSC cybersecurity incident, visit alert.studentclearinghouse.org. Students who have questions may email NSC at inquiries@studentclearinghouse.org.
