Distance Learning and State Reciprocity

Distance Learning students who have technical issues should reach out to idea@floridapoly.edu. For complaints, students should follow the University Policy.

No Florida Poly academic program leads directly to or includes any licensure as a result of completion of the program. Professional licensure for Engineering is typically a combination of education and years worked in the field and other requirements as deteremined in each state. Licensing authority and requirements for Professional Engineers falls under the jurisdiction of the licensing board for the state, territory, or foreign entity in which engineer practices. If you intend to pursue such credentialing in your state or elsewhere, we strongly advise you to contact the applicable state credentialing authority to familiarize yourself with its specific requirements. The following table is provided as a service to students seeking additional information on a state-by-state basis.
