If licensing is the ultimate goal of the student, the University strongly advises their students to check with their respective state, school district or professional associations for specific requirements.

Acceptance of credit earned at Newport University by another educational institution or employer, is solely at the discretion of that institution or an employer.

Prospective students seeking enrollment in the Psychology program for the purposes of licensure with the Board of Psychology in California, need to be aware that in September 2000 the California Legislature approved and the Governor signed AB 400.  This new law goes into effect on January 1 2001. It  requires that all students seeking licensure after January 1, 2008, must be graduated from a regionally accredited school.
