All students requiring licensure in the United States take the North American Veterinary Licensing Examination (NAVLE), which will be taken during the final clinical year. RCVS registration requires graduates to take the membership examination of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) and entitles them to practice in the UK. Students seeking employment in the European Union (EU), should contact the relevant member state of the EU to check their registration requirements.
SGU students and graduates are advised to carefully check the registration or licensing requirements with the veterinary licensing authority of any/all countries where they wish to practice. Ultimately, it is their responsibility to see that their applications are processed correctly in accordance with the requirements of the respective authority from which licenses are sought. The OUR maintains some information on the requirements for licensure in the 54 American jurisdictions and many international jurisdictions; however, the University is not an agent of any licensing authority.
For precise, up-to-date information, students or graduates must seek that information from the licensing agency in the region, state, or country where licensure is being sought.
