Academic Plans of Study

In order to predict course enrollments and plan for faculty teaching assignments and clinical facilities, the graduate program needs program information for individual students.

Upon acceptance of admission, all students file a plan of study form with the Graduate Program Office. This form will be used for student enrollment into courses each semester. Students may enroll in either a fulltime or a part-time program of study (POS).

To alter the original program plan, students are required to complete the “Modification to Plan of Study” section on the form and obtain Graduate Nursing Program Director approval and signature before changing courses or their sequence. Changes must be filed with the Graduate Program Office.

Students register for courses per their academic Plan of Study. Students must follow prerequisite guidelines for order of courses to be completed. Course selection special requests will be reviewed by the Graduate Nursing Program Director and addressed based on a student’s individual circumstances.
