Counselor licensure and certification regulations vary widely by state. Prospective students should check with the appropriate state credentialing body to identify specific requirements. Graduation from a CACREP accredited program does not guarantee eligibility for licensure or certification in all states; however, graduates of CACREP accredited programs generally meet most states’ educational eligibility requirements for seeking a practice credential. In addition, CACREP graduates are immediately eligible to obtain national certification from the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) upon passing the National Counselor Examination.

The expiration date represents the date that a program’s accreditation will end if the program does not seek continued accreditation from CACREP.  For some programs, this date reflects the conclusion of a full eight-year accreditation cycle, which is the maximum length of accredited status provided by CACREP.  Most programs will seek to become re-accredited prior to the end of this cycle. 

For other programs, the CACREP expiration date may reflect the end date given when a program is accredited for a two-year period.  Programs accredited for the two-year period usually continue the accredited status for an additional 6 years by submitting an Interim Report to CACREP to address minor issues in the program that were noted during the last full accreditation review period.  It is important to note that many programs begin an eight-year review cycle by receiving accreditation for a two-year period.
