Acknowledgement of Reciprocity Statement: Pursuant to United States Department of Education (US DOE) regulation 34 CFR 668.43 (a) (5) (v), the Southwest Virginia Community College (SWCC) Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program provides the following information for all prospective and current students:

The SWCC ADN program meets all Virginia Board of Nursing requirements for pre-licensure nursing education programs in the Commonwealth of Virginia. In addition, the SWCC ADN program meets all requirements for nationally recognized accreditation by the Accrediting Commission for Education in Nursing. .
The Commonwealth of Virginia participates with 32 other states in the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) National Licensing Compact (NLC) to allow nurses licensed in one state to provide nursing care across state lines in other compact states. The Uniform Licensing Requirements (ULRs) are found at: https://www.ncsbn.org/NLC_ULRs.pdf.”
States currently in the NLC are found at: https://www.ncsbn.org/nlcmemberstates.pdf
Prospective and current students are strongly encouraged to evaluate all state requirements in jurisdictions where they intend to practice nursing. A list of all state requirements is found at:https://www.ncsbn.org/14730.htm. SWCC has not determined if the ADN program meets the requirements of any other states.
This statement serves to meet the USDOE regulation until further notice.
