Academic Advisors

An advisor is assigned to every student at the time of matriculation into the nursing curriculum. Advisors for nursing students are assigned by the first letter of the student last name. Students are expected to meet with their advisors at least once and as needed every semester.

Faculty will also be using e-mail to communicate with their advisees and with students enrolled in their classes.
