In accordance with the Arkansas State Board of Nursing (ASBN) Rules, the licensure examination application shall be authorized by the nursing program director to assure the applicant has completed the program. The examination application shall not be acceptable if the program director of an educational program has completed the Affidavit of Graduation approval for an applicant prior to the date of program completion.
The nursing director of the nursing education program must verify a student’s graduation after they have TOTALLY completed all requirements of the nursing education program.
The nursing education program director accomplishes this task via a secure electronic verification process through the Affidavit of Graduation Portal for applicants graduating from in state programs.
The secure access is assigned to a singular authorized nursing education program director and should be confidential.
An applicant can submit an application up to two months prior to completion of the program; however, verification of completion of the program through the Affidavit of Graduation Portal cannot occur before a student has completed the program.
Each nursing education program will complete a Program Verification Authorization Form and submit it to the ASBN to identify the program official that is authorized to verify applicant program completion by accessing the Affidavit of Graduation Portal.
