Consequences of Residency Change
Degree program availability varies by state based on state agency authorizations. Not all degree programs are available in all states or formats. As such, if a student changes their location this may impact their availability to continue in their degree program.
Students who relocate to a state where Columbia College does not meet state licensure or certification requirements for a program in a licensed career field may not be able to sit for a licensure exam in that state. Students are advised to contact their academic advisor to fully understand the impact that a location change has on the program they are currently enrolled in.
