The School of Nursing provides students with a strong program of quality academic advisement – both from the faculty and the advising staff. The mission of academic advising in the department is to serve students in the ongoing process of assisting them in the attainment of their educational goals through the development and evaluation of their educational plans.

Advisors are involved in helping students coordinate their learning experiences through the planning of their educational – as well as their career – objectives, based on the abilities and academic progress of each student. Academic advising should also act as a referral for students to other campus agencies (Career Services, Academic Services, etc.)

We highly encourages students to meet with their advisor on a regular basis – during advance registration periods and whenever they may have questions regarding their academics or career goals. Students are also highly encouraged to follow their planned program of study, taking courses as specified at the correct time in their academic career. This can help to avoid missed courses, conflicting courses, and other problems that may arise as they get close to graduation.
