This examination is given at times and places specified by the State Board of Nursing, usually twice a year. Candidates should file application immediately after the official completion date of degree requirements. Upon receipt of the application and all credentials, a temporary permit to practice will be issued and an examination date assigned. Licensure is granted upon successful completion of the State Board of Nursing licensure examination. In addition, a check list is provided for degree expected and teacher certification expected.
Accurate information is essential.
Forms are filed in the Office of Records and Registration and processed according to expected graduation date. A graduation auditor checks the credit hours taken and records the credit hours still needed. One copy of this audit is mailed to the student, another is sent to the student's major department, and the third copy is filed. Students should receive their audits a semester before they apply for graduation. A graduation audit does not take the place of regular, thorough advising.
