Students outside the Commonwealth of Virginia who may enroll in a program at Patrick & Henry Community College that prepares students for external certification or licensure should be from a state where the program MEETS the educational requirements for certification or licensure.
If the student’s primary residence is in a state where the Patrick & Henry program does NOT MEET the student’s home state educational requirements, they may not enroll in the program.
