(a) The Board is
				  committed to providing learning opportunities to individuals interested in
				  pursuing a career in long term care administration, and enhancing the
				  development of licensed administrators. To further this objective, the Board
				  has established an Administrator University (AU) for nursing home administrator
				  and Certified Assistant Administrator (CAA) applicants with curriculum designed
				  specifically to educate individuals with knowledge and skills that may assist
				  them in becoming a successful nursing home and/or ICF/MR administrator or CAA.
				  The Board will periodically review and approve or establish training for
				  residential care/assisted living and adult day care administrators as deemed
				  necessary.

				  2006, individuals applying to become nursing home administrators shall
				  successfully complete Administrator University (AU) prior to being licensed.
				  Effective January 1, 2019, individuals applying to become Certified Assistant
				  Administrators shall successfully complete AU prior to being certified. The
				  Board presumptively approves NAB-approved entry level training designed for
				  Nursing Home Administrators for either the NHA or CAA requirement to complete
				  AU.
(c) Administrators who are
				  already licensed in the State of Oklahoma as a nursing home administrator may
				  enter Administrator University at their own expense for enhanced training if
				  classroom space is available.
(d)
				  Upon mutual agreement of the Board and licensee, specific classes or the entire
				  Administrator University curriculum may be imposed as a penalty for the
				  violation of rules and/or standards established by the Board.

				  or classes within the curriculumas eligible for continuing education (CE)
				  credit and may charge an appropriate fee (as a workshop) for administrators to
				  attend on a space available basis.
(f) The application fee and Administrator
				  University fee prescribed by the Board at OAC
				  490:1-7-2 shall be submitted
				  during the online application process prior to admission to Administrator
				  University.
(g) An applicant for
				  licensure who successfully completes Administrator University (AU) will not
				  have to repeat Administrator University if he is successfully licensed in
				  Oklahoma as a long term care administrator within twenty-four (24) months after
				  the completion of AU which is marked by the scheduled date of class for that
				  particular class.
(h) If applicant
				  fails to become licensed/certified as an Oklahoma long term care administrator
				  during this 24-month time frame, applicant will have to pay all applicable fees
				  and repeat Administrator University prior to any future licensing/certification
				  attempts.
