Students who have been approved to participate in the graduation ceremony are not automatically guaranteed degree clearance. To find out if any non-nursing credits are outstanding at the time of the ceremony, check with the School of Nursing. Professional Licensure Examinations for state licensure may be taken after all program requirements have been completed and the degree awarded. Deadlines established for applications are strictly observed. Prerequisites and application procedures are discussed.
Nursing students receive academic advising by nursing faculty.
Advisers help students with academic concerns as well as with decisions concerning nursing careers and graduate study. They also help students with orientation and in determining how to apply credits to meet graduation requirements. The student body elects board representatives. The board promotes unity among nursing students and provides them with an official mode of communication with faculty, administration, and other members of the University community. Board activities include representing students on School committees and planning School events.
