Distance Education Testing

Victoria College requires all final exams to be proctored. Each instructor determines the need for additional proctored exams. Exams and other activities may be proctored in class, at the College’s Testing Centers, an approved off-campus testing site, or via an electronic method at the discretion of the course instructor.

State Authorization

 

Professional Licensure

Some academic programs at Victoria College require or prepare students to sit for applicable licensure and/or certification examinations in Texas. Out-of-state students seeking to enroll in a program leading to professional licensure or certification need to contact the appropriate department at Victoria College to discuss enrollment and professional licensure options available.

A Professional licensure disclosure is a regulation of the U. S. Department of Education (Title 34 CFR 668.43(a)(5)(v)(A)) requiring all colleges and universities to communicate publicly and directly to prospective and current students about whether academic programs are designed to meet educational requirements for a specific professional license or certification that is required for employment in an occupation, or is advertised as meeting such requirements, information regarding whether completion of that program would be sufficient to meet licensure requirements in a State for that occupation, including –

1. A list of all States for which the institution has determined that its curriculum meets the State educational requirements for licensure or certification; 
2. A list of all States for which the institution has determined that its curriculum does not meet the State educational requirements for licensure or certification; and 
3. A list of all States for which the institution has not made a determination that its curriculum meets the State educational requirements for licensure or certification. 

 

If you are considering a program that leads to a professional license or certificate in a state other than Texas, view program and certification disclosures below.
