DIRECT NOTICE POLICY FOR PROGRAMS LEADING TO LICENSURE OR CERTIFICATION
Academia Medical Institute determines the student’s physical location during the admissions process. Applicants share their address on the Application for Admission, which is verified through a government-issued ID collected as part of the admissions process. As the program is blended, students must be in the Columbus, Ohio, area to attend. Students located outside of Ohio are not accepted into the Practical Nursing (PN) program.
For applicants and students of the Practical Nursing (PN) program, Academia Medical Institute provides direct notice as to the determination of qualification for licensure for states outside of Ohio via email.
Students at Academia Medical Institute can update their personal information, including addresses, in the Student Information System. Staff receives a notice when the student changes their address. If a student's address is updated to a state outside Ohio, the Direct Notice process is started. Direct Notice is provided via email within 14 days of the notification of the address change as reported in the Student Information System.
However, as the Practical Nursing (PN) program is blended, students are encouraged to speak with Academia Medical Institute staff before relocation to determine options for continuing training or withdrawing before moving outside of Ohio.
If a student moves out of Ohio, or if the determination of qualification for licensure for a state on the list changes for the Practical Nursing (PN) program, Academia Medical Institute provides a Direct Notice to all students. Direct Notice is provided via email within 14 days after the day the change in determination is identified by Academia Medical Institute.
STATE-BY-STATE DISCLOSURE FOR PROGRAMS LEADING TO LICENSURE OR CERTIFICATION
Academia Medical Institute’s Practical Nursing (PN) program is approved by the Ohio Board of Nursing and qualifies graduates to apply for the NCLEX-PN exam in Ohio. Graduation from the Practical Nursing (PN) program does not guarantee passing the NCLEX-PN and earning licensure in Ohio or any other state. Licensure is required to work as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in Ohio. Licensing requirements are shared with prospective students during the admissions process. They can also be found on the Ohio Board of Nursing website: https://nursing.ohio.gov/licensing-certification-ce/rn-aprn-lpn/.
Should a student move to another state during training, AMI will provide a Direct Notice to the student as to whether or not AMI’s Practical Nursing (PN) program meets qualifications for licensure in that state within 14 days of notification of the location change. It is recommended that the student contact the agency that licenses Practical Nurses (LPNs) in that state to inquire if the training completed at Academia Medical Institute will be accepted toward that state’s licensure requirements as well.
Further, if a graduate moves out of state after completion of the Practical Nursing (PN) program, it is up to that graduate to contact the agency that licenses Practical Nurses (LPNs) in that state to determine if they will qualify to apply to sit for the NCLEX-PN in that state.
Finally, if a graduate moves out of state after sitting for and passing the NCLEX-PN and gaining licensure
as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in Ohio, it is up to that graduate to contact the agwhichenses Practical Nurses (LPNs) in that state to determine if the Ohio license will be accepted in that state or if other licensure requirements must be met to be eligible for employment in the new state.
As of January 1, 2023, Ohio joined the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC).

A list of states participating in the NLC can be found here: https://www.ncsbn.org/compacts/nurse-licensure-compact.page.
